Even if it has now taken a little longer and some impatient contemporaries have repeatedly demanded a prompt publication: It was by no means a case of us sitting it out, but rather a lot of precise work to work through almost a year of fan tests and conduct a fair investigation into the causes of the totally botched fan test of the Alphacool 120 [...]

The world of mechanical keyboards not only offers a wide variety of switches, but it also has a vibrant community of enthusiasts who are constantly looking for ways to optimize their keyboards. Today we present four mods that not only improve the typing experience, but can also positively influence the acoustic properties of the keyboard. 1 [...]
It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen an air cooler from this manufacturer, and the last attempt was crowned with moderate success. Now they are trying again and want to reach the top. The following test report will tell you whether this will work. Packaging and scope of delivery Of course, we’ll also take a quick look at the [...]
Similar to urban planning, you also have the problem on the desk that there is not unlimited space available on the X and Y axes. In addition to living space, roads, infrastructure and perhaps even a park have to be built. The situation is similar on the desktop at home, because without a mouse, keyboard and monitor, you don’t have much fun [...]
After yesterday’s review of the GeForce RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition (and the other so-called MSRP cards without factory OC), today I have one of the cheaper OC cards for you in the form of the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Super Jetstream OC, which has an RRP of 699 euros. Of course, I’m not going to repeat the whole thing about the AD104 [...]
Today it’s getting super again. NVIDIA is officially launching the GeForce RTX 4070 Super in the form of the so-called MSRP cards. With a starting price of USD 599 or an RRP of EUR 659, the new Super-Susi is not that far off the street price of the RTX 4070 Non-Super, which starts at just under EUR 600. Today’s test will have to prove [...]
Before I focus on the new flagship models with OLED panels in 2024, let’s take a look at one of the cheapest entry-level gaming or home office/second monitors that you can currently buy. The ASUS VA24ECE comes with a 24-inch 1920 x 1080p Full HD IPS panel and a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz. I can’t tell you which manufacturer the [...]
With the SGK50 S3, SHARKOON is expanding its portfolio with another compact keyboard that is not only fully hotswappable, but also compatible with the open-source QMK/VIA software. Read on to find out whether the keyboard, which is available in several versions, is convincing. It’s no longer a secret that I have my problems with keyboards [...]
It is well known that you can use tools such as MSI Afterburner to increase or decrease the maximum power consumption of a graphics card (within the specifications). In addition, the 12V-2×6 connection (formerly 12VHPWR) also offers different power levels. But what are the differences between the two options and what happens if you use both [...]
Having recently tested several small systems equipped with top-of-the-range mobile processors, today we are once again looking at the other end of the spectrum. Packaging and scope of delivery The box couldn’t have been much more generic. After all, it is made clear to us umpteen times that there is a mini PC inside. The sticker on the back [...]
Once again, I was faced with the task of buying my lovely wife a replacement keyboard for her iPad. But with the requirement to convert the tablet into a notebook. She wants to write her book on the train and that doesn’t work with the simple models. What’s more, 2 different ones have gone in just under 2 years and none of them were [...]
Today we are taking a closer look at another air cooler that is at the top of the Geizhals.de rankings in terms of popularity. In the following test report, you can find out whether the low price of around 20 euros (without ARGB) or around 25 euros (with ARGB) offers sufficient cooling performance. Endorfy must have cut corners somewhere to make [...]
With the latest addition to the popular Arcadia series, Raijintek aims to set new standards in the budget case sector. Thanks to a side panel made of real glass, a generous mesh front and a price of less than €40, the signs are not bad that this goal will be achieved. Read on to find out how the Arcadia III performs in everyday use. In the [...]
The HIFIMAN HE400se (se stands for stealth edition) is characterized by its planar magnetic technology, which results in a very clear and detailed sound image. This technology, usually found in much more expensive headphones, enables a surprisingly even and very precise sound transmission. In addition, the HE400se offers an open design that [...]
Today I’m going to introduce you to an equalizer software that no PC should be without if you seriously want to enjoy music on your PC or play games in style. Forget all the sliders on Realtek or Nahimic drivers or the software that often comes with gaming headsets. With 5 to 7 controls, fixed frequency settings and opaque filters of the [...]
I had already written a very similar article almost a year ago about the binning of the GeForce RTX 4070 and the difference between MSRP and OC cards. However, the theoretical part on the second page was somewhat neglected, very wrongly in my opinion. The launch of the super cards is coming up soon and the question is always being asked as to how [...]
Today I’m taking a look at the “new” second monitor from Wellenbrecher. Some of you may have noticed that Wellenbrecher is a “lucky guy” when it comes to buying monitors. He bought the MSI Optix MAG274QRX four times and still ended up with a monitor with pixel errors on the panel. A real quality chaos, there’s [...]
Don’t be fooled by the exterior, even if this system is confusingly similar to the AM08 in name and appearance, it contains an Intel processor from the Tiger Lake generation. Our last meeting of this CPU series in the form of the CK10 with a 11390H was somewhat disappointing, hopefully things will turn out differently today. But let’s [...]
I announced a while ago that I would include some of the most popular coolers currently suggested by the community in our ranking. I am keeping this promise once again, today with one of the cheapest offers from the manufacturer be quiet! I tested the slightly more slimmed-down version of this cooler years ago on the old testbench: Packaging and [...]
So anyone who really believes that everything used to be cheaper is very much mistaken. Just compare salaries and prices! Computers are a luxury good. And gold-plated accessories are as old as the PC price list. But who am I telling? If you browse through yesterday’s advertisements today, it can make you feel really sick. But just before [...]
