The name Noctua is likely to be known to most, be it the private silent enthusiast, Sys admin with sensitive ears or even users in the industry. A wide range of products and very quiet operation are associated with the Austrian/Taiwanese company for as long as the chocolate-brown color of the fans. Some time ago they got a new robe in light grey [...]

What Unibos (a brand of the Czech distributor Bostar) has come up with seems conclusive at first glance, albeit a bit niche: a portable and stable case for an NVMe-SSD, which you can bring to top performance via Thunderbolt 3 on suitable devices. Unfortunately, the whole thing excludes all USB generations, so that the case cannot be used [...]
On April 14, 2020 I had already teased the whole story about Minecraft for Windows 10 including RTX and explained the techniques behind it. That is why I am saving myself this new introduction and I prefer to get straight to the point. Minecraft RT, like Quake II RTX, relies on pathtracing of the complete image and that’s exactly what you [...]
With the VPN100, Patriot recently launched another 1TB NVMe SSD, which relies on well-known components, so that i don't give up any puzzles in terms of assembly and which I had already tested before. But to use the current prices as a benchmark is going to be difficult, because the street price is running amok pretty much every SSD. A fast 1TB [...]
Our forum member Casi030 has recently given himself up to the grinding again and since many readers write that heatpipe direct touch is bad, he has once done a test for himself with a massive radiator floor. For this, he has secured a Scythe Kotetsu Mark II TUF Gaming Alliance to compete against the AMD Wraith Prism and the Arctic Freezer 33 [...]
The topic is plentiful complex and hot and ideally suited to provoke even neat emotions. I would therefore like to preface this article with a preliminary remark, which iamplease keep in mind during the reading. After all, I have thought for a long time whether and how what has accumulated here in my desk and in my head in recent years can be [...]
The subject is almost as old as lignite and I have not only written an article about it in recent years. However, the feedback of those who are looking for help and would like to see everything clearly summarized and updated again is piling up again. Of course, I will not close myself off from this and restructure the whole issue and also revise [...]
Pretty much exactly 10 years ago, I not only played and benchmarked Metro 2033, but also examined the story behind it. Because I was not only once in Moscow and know the also Metro from my own excursions quite well. I was also able to find something new, because as a student and foreigner, in the days of the Soviet regime, one always had the [...]
The KFA2 RTX 2060 Super EX 1-Click OC also shows that RTX is also cheap, after Gainward wanted to prove this to us with the GeForce RTX 2060 Super Ghost. Today’s, currently approx. 439 Euro expensive card from KFA2, costs exactly 20 euros more than the version without EX, which in turn costs only exactly as much as Gainward’s current [...]
Currently there is a very large selection of processors, be it from the blue Intel or the red AMD bearing. But what do you actually need for everyday work, gambleors or a few pictures or pictures? To edit videos from the holiday? Does it have to be the Intel Core i9-9900k or the Ryzen 9 3900X from AMD? Do I need a Ryzen of the 3. Generation? Maybe [...]
The title already says everything we will find in the article today. Having recently presented in the article “Aqua Computer Flow Meter “High-Flow” in the laboratory test – What can a flow meter for 40 euros?”, two more sensors have to run today to determine a first winner. And since the “High Flow” is also [...]
The Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE is the latest mouse in Corsair's Dark Core range. It is a wireless gaming mouse, of course with RGB lighting, as well as Bluetooth function. The simpler Dark Core RGB Pro is available for around 100€ and the SE version with Wireless Charging for approx. 110€, so both are definitely in the upper price range for [...]
The brave clone sheep Dolly was yesterday, today come the NVMe Clone Warriors. In parallel with the launch of AMD’s new X570 platform, the first NVMe SSDs came on the market to support PCIe Generation 4.0. Well, the selection is still quite modest and it will be much more if you take a closer look at the competitor products. Some time ago I [...]
I don't want to build the whole thing too theoretically, but I decided to start this first setup seamlessly due to the positive response to the last article "Aqua Computer Flow Meter "High-Flow" in the laboratory test – What can a flow meter for 40 euros?" refine something and make it usable for normal laboratory life [...]
Home office, working for hours on the PC, staying mobile, still being accessible and all without cables? Gaming headsets are usually the worst possible solution for such purposes and who makes home office or the Logitech Zone Wireless could be quite happy. Today's test should clarify how useful this headset really is for everyday use in [...]
It was a tough affair when Mark Cerny was on the 18th. On March 1, he spent an entire hour on the technical details of the next Sony console. Despite the fact that it was clear that the presentation would be aimed primarily at developers, it left a plenty of bland taste. This was due to the competition from Redmond. Microsoft had just dropped the [...]
Many trust the manufacturer's specifications in terms of accuracy when it comes to flow measurements for their own custom loop, but without being able to verify it in any way. If there is any information on accuracy, upper and lower limits or the measuring methods. Since I can now take fairly reliable measurements with an ultrasonic measuring [...]
I am continuing my little retrospective today and we see once again that everything can still be increased!
The Start is the Chieftec FI-01W ("Flyer"), into which I installed a rather fast HTPC in 2012.
The part has already irritated me, if only because of the size, which should have been called small. Well, the Corsair One is completely custom loop, but here I don't have the Frickelei with the watered graphics card. On a footprint of just under 19 x 19 cm and a height of just under 39 cm, the H1 from NZXT is quite compact. In addition, there [...]
Since the launch, I have used the game for various benchmarks and have also played quite a bit myself, also in order to reach a useful benchmark scene. But the dear time often never lets you play to the end and so Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order has remained like many others in the benchmark suite, but never gets to your own computer. After many [...]
