Acemagic S1 Mini-PC test – Intel N95 with familiar looks

Anyone who remembers my article on the MiniXTec M1 from January may now be experiencing a bit of deja vu. Because a lot of things here seem suspiciously familiar to me too. But it’s no secret that many “manufacturers” across the hardware market commission the same OEM to print their name on a product. But it’s actually [...]


10 CPU water blocks tested on socket LGA1700 and AM5 in a big roundup including a necessary reappraisal

in today’s article, we have tested 10 water blocks, on 2 platforms, with 2 pump settings, each with different mounting variants.

I’ve now reached part three and it’s time to briefly summarize the first two articles and, above all, to evaluate the reactions of the manufacturers, or rather their silence. As the case may be.

Recently, everyone has been asking me why they should still buy an ATX v3.0 power supply when the ATX v3.1 specification has long been on the market. However, this is also because very few people even understand that the main difference [...]

Here you can clearly see that performance and quality are already limited. A gaming laptop can help, but even here there are severe limitations in [...]

After all the reviews of various models of the GeForce RTX 4070 Super, today I have the PNY RTX 4070 SUPER Verto OC Dual Fan 12GB, currently the cheapest RTX 4070 Super OC card for you in the test, whose street price is currently at 598 euros, but has also been found significantly below that in the past.

How accurate are my material analyses? Calibration is mandatory!

Of course, we remember my last measurements on the radiators and the respective material analyses, some of which showed different things than the customer (or manufacturer) actually expected. Apart from the fact that alloys are often not 100% homogeneous, major deviations should of course not occur. Yes, trace elements below one wt% are more of a [...]
