T-Force DDR4 4000 Xtreem in AMD and Intel test – Came, saw and lit

The T-Force Xtreme series had been announced for some time, but now, in January 2020, the fastest modules will finally be available on the market. I was able to get one of the packs with the T-Force DDR4 4000 Xtreem ARGB and of course also test the memory bulb extensively. These kits made of 8GB modules come with three different speed gradations [...]


Alphacool GPX-N 2080 M02 trial – low-cost Fullcover GPU water block with backplate for the RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 and 2070 FE

What is the conversion to a usable water block for the graphics card worth and what is the purpose of this? If you want it quiet, unobtrusive and cool, are you looking for a high-performance cooler for social media-ready limit overclocking or just a conspicuous bling-bling eye willow with a cooling side effect? Everything doesn't go into a [...]


Antlion ModMic Wireless in the test – the best thing that makes a headphone a headset. But also with the most expensive

The fact that I generally prefer to play with very good stereo head listening rather than 7.1 gaming headsets is neither a secret nor somehow decadent. Resolution and location are simply better. But it doesn't always work without a microphone. Yes and then? Most of the headphones in my collection are wired and the one used here in the test [...]

Only SSD and RAM need to be retrofitted by the user to have a full computer. Due to the compact dimensions of 117 x 112 x 36mm or 117 x 112 x 51mm, the corresponding cooling solution of the NUC is [...]


Sapphire RX 5500 XT Pulse 8 GB in review – Cheap can also be quiet

After i created the launch article about AMD's new Radeon RX 5500 XT and also a first overclocking article with the MorePowerTool, I now dedicate myself with the intention of one of the slightly cheaper 8GB board partner cards, which it has already been doing for days now. just under 210 euros. This is still above the magic 200-euro limit, but [...]


AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT overclocked up to 2.1 GHz with the MorePowerTool – and driven into bandwidth limit

In the meantime I have even been able to evaluate four RX 5500 XTs and push them to the limit, whereby the 2.1 GHz is a real limit for all of them. Sure, with the LN2 version of the MorePowerTool you would probably get over it, but at what price? Instead, all cards reacted well-behaved, stable and without artifacts to settings that are still close [...]

Gaming rig with the Cooler Master SL600M Black, an i9-9900K, as well as the Z390 Master and rtX 2080 Ti Extreme by Aorus | The Community Testers

Now you could post another 20 pages of photo of the successful assembly, but I think that the video format with the (sometimes time-lapsed) view of the construction realization gives more. The SL600M Black by Cooler Master is a thankful midi tower that offers some small innovation that goes beyond the mainstream. RGB can, but does not have to, and [...]

At its core, however, the MasterLiquid 240, which was released at the beginning of 2017, remains identical with identical technical data.

Havit Bilateral True Wireless Headset under review

As mentioned in my review of the 1More Bluetooth speaker, I'm quite an audio snob. For me, the sound really has to be right, which is why I met this very cheap Bluetooth headset with skepticism at first. Skeptical, but without prejudice. The Havit True Wireless Headset is a Bluetooth InEar headphones with built-in and is available on the [...]


Coming soon: Workstation graphics cards and professional benchmarks including special benchtable and professional monitor

What is the best way to test graphics cards in the workstation area? Of course with appropriate software and not just any dead-optimized synthetics. But it's not just the software that decides, but also the hardware. That's exactly where I started again and thought long beforehand. In the end, because the fastest CPU per thread is also [...]
