Except for a recent announcement and a first launch, it has been very quiet around AMD’s Radeon Pro portfolio of professional workstations for quite some time, which also rely on certified drivers and ECC-RAM, because especially in the professional environment such standards have to be met. While NVIDIA has been left almost without a fight [...]

With the generously dimensioned 7000 series, Corsair brings two full-tower cases with high-end requirements to the market. In this article, I want to put the feature-oriented Airflow version through its paces and find out if the 20kg Behemoth lives up to its claims. An all-in-one compact water cooling system can be installed by anyone, there is [...]
Patriot SUPERSONIC RAGE PRIME 1 TB Review – Small USB stick with SSD qualities in writing OR reading
Patriot has once again made it exciting and even issued an extra NDA for this SUPERSONIC RAGE PRIME 1TB USB 3.2 stick. I must also preface this by saying that I had to do this test without a communicated MSRP, which might put some things into perspective later on. But I was really fascinated by this stick in many parts of this test, because it [...]

Finally a manufacturer has taken pity on itself to offer the SKILLER SGS2 Jr, a stable gaming chair for the target group between 6 and 15 years, which is on the one hand robust and on the other hand pleasantly stands out from all the unicorn, pirate and Mickey mouse chairs. Visually and above all ergonomically, this is a real gaming chair for the [...]
Who doesn’t know the ugly moment when you think you’ve almost finished the Windows setup and then suddenly the new machine gets stuck? You have partitioned the SSD accordingly, defined the partition for the installation, put everything on it, the setup starts the services, thinks to have prepared everything and then after the next, due [...]
For many years now, the maker scene, i.e. the hobbyist crafting of primarily electronic or information technology applications, has been enjoying lively growth. Projects in optoelectronics are particularly popular, as you get direct visible feedback on your work performance. Furthermore, one could use the term eye-candy as a psychological [...]
Reader requests are of course our command and so today we have a big comparison test with 6 popular 140mm case fans. And yes, fans are a dime a dozen, but in the end, which fan fits which system and which budget? Is a model suitable as a case fan and how does it really perform on different radiators? What about the real speed range, how high is [...]
After the last article about system latency (NVIDIA Reflex & Boost vs. Radeon Boost and ZERO vs. AMD Anti-Lag), we should urgently discuss a few things about testing. So today we’re going to take a look at NVIDIA LDAT in terms of the USB ports it uses. For this I tested two different possibilities regarding the use of LDAT. The AMD [...]
With the new Prime series, Steelseries wants to offer performance-focused peripherals that have (once again) been developed together with eSports professionals. The lack of flashy lighting, visual bells and whistles, and the otherwise rather simple design will certainly appeal to normal gamers as well. What the new mouse can do is revealed in the [...]
Dare to Challenge – rarely has a slogan been more fitting than that of the Z590 OC Formula, ASRock’s new high-end overclocking motherboard! Intel’s latest mainstream CPUs of the Rocket Lake family don’t bring any big advantages for gamers, but for friends of memory overclocking the 11th generation opens completely new [...]
Even if many people don’t want to read it, today I have a board partner card from AMD in the form of the Powercolor Radeon RX 6700XT for you in a single test. What makes the card so special is its white PCB and all-white cover including white LED lighting. Since the whole thing stands out a bit more from the crowd, I just got myself this [...]
What lasts long – usually becomes good. However, I took extra time for today’s test with the question “NVIDIA NULL and Reflex vs. AMD Anti-Lag and Radeon Boost, which works better?”. For some time now I have been writing about the topic of latencies and there have been a few articles from me on this topic. In particular, we [...]
Alphacool vs. aquacomputer? Once again, today we have a reader review by Elmo from our community that addresses this very issue of GPU water blocks. Since I find the test, the methodology and also the used technique extremely exciting, I have summarized the whole thing as a real article and with the author’s consent also slightly changed so [...]
Fear of leaking water and the death of all electronics in the PC as an fatal consequence? Fear no more, the LEAKSHIELD from Aqua Computer is designed to prevent just that: provide a leakage insurance against water accidents in your cooling circuit. Cost? With 119.90 euros certainly cheaper than a big leak. Effect? Priceless! Admittedly, the idea [...]
Anyone planning a water cooling system will sooner or later ask the question, “Which pump do I need?” If you now turn to a community with the question, you will receive many different answers. But predominantly the answer will be: “A D5”. Why this is so and whether the massively expanded version of Aquacomputer is Swiss [...]
Even though compared to CPU and GPU, RAM overclocking probably has the smallest impact on your daily computing experience, specific memory sensitive applications can see a big boost from optimizing your PC’s memory, like we covered in our Cyberpunk 2077 memory roundup. So today we want to show how we overclock and – equally important – [...]
Since we were asked again and again for 140 mm fans, we now also begin with the test of the somewhat larger case fans. As a future reference, the Noctua NF-A14 FLX, which costs approx. 21 euros, will therefore compete against the reference of our 120 mm fans in today’s individual test, which makes for a very nice comparison to work out the [...]
For the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti FE (Founders Edition) unveiled today, NVIDIA uses the full GA104.1 In contrast to the GA102, a smaller chip like the GA104 usually promises higher yield and thus better availability, improved efficiency and cheaper production. So much for the theory. Except that this often clashes with practice. Because the question [...]
It was very quiet around AMD’s Radeon Pro portfolio of professional workstations for quite some time, which also rely on certified drivers and ECC-RAM, because especially in the professional environment such standards have to be met. While NVIDIA has been left almost without a fight for months, the three new graphics solutions presented [...]
