The patch 2.1 for Cyberpunk 2077 brings a lot of new features, but unfortunately also some problems. And before I go into the new features, we also need to look at the hurdles that stand in the way of a new user experience. Since its release, Cyberpunk 2077 has emerged as a platform for demonstrating new graphics card technologies, particularly in [...]

An alternative title might have been “better later than never”. By popular demand, today’s review is of the popular Liquid Freezer II complete water cooling system, in each of the two most popular sizes. There’s a lot to test in a double pack, so let’s get straight to it. Packaging and scope of delivery [...]
Where do current workstation graphics cards from both manufacturers stand when it comes to design, construction, simulation, 3D visualization and creation? Has AMD been able to catch up or even overtake with the new lineup of Radeon Pro graphics cards or are Ada and Ampere still the measure of all things? I’ll try to find objective answers [...]
When you open a drawer searching for something and come across thermal paste that’s 20 years old, there are two possible reactions: throw it away or give it to me for testing. The kind dealer opted for the latter, as my curiosity is known to be the last to die. It’s almost like finding a can of soup from the era of the Deutsche Mark [...]
With the ULTRA, Raijintek updates its PONOS series and brings features such as E-ATX support, a glass side panel with hinges and support for large components (40cm GPUs and 23.5cm power supplies) to the mid-range. Read on to find out whether there is a catch or whether the case equipped with four ARGB fans can once again shine in terms of price [...]
After numerous articles, explanations, and follow-up tests, today we’re taking a different approach. I have three intriguing topics for you: the possible origin story of the 12VHPWR connector, the deliberate ignorance of the originally intended 8-pin EPS connector, which continues to prove its resilience against defeat in power supplies and [...]
Once upon a time in the vast expanses of digital Asgard, the mighty Odin, the All-Father of the Gods, was looking for a new challenge. After centuries of fighting, writing poetry and occasionally losing his eye, Odin found that life in Asgard had become a little… well, boring. “What good are all these runes and ravens if I can’t [...]
Today the time has finally come, I have the first VA panel in my test. This means that I have now tested all the current display types. Introducing the Cooler Master GA271. I wouldn’t normally take a look at this monitor, but the RRP of 159.90 euros immediately got me interested. A monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p and 100 Hz refresh [...]
Today we have the premiere of the Enermax brand here with us, directly with an AIO water cooling system in two sizes. In my opinion, this manufacturer has somewhat disappeared from the scene, the best I can remember is the unusual “Steelwing” mATX case. So let’s take a look at how this cooler performs. Packaging and scope of [...]
The Xinfrared T2S Plus is considered one of the pioneers among thermal imaging cameras for smartphones with a usable 8mm macro lens. This special design allows users to capture detailed thermal images of objects even at close range, which is especially useful for identifying heat loss, the condition of insulation, electrical problems and details [...]
With the Radeon Pro W7700, AMD is now closing the huge gap between the previously tested Radeon Pro W7800 and W7600, thereby completing its own portfolio of RDNA3 graphics cards for productive use. Even though this chip and the corresponding design as a gaming graphics card would place it very elegantly between a Radeon RX 7600 and the RX 7700XT [...]
The German company Nerdytec, known for the “Couchmaster” celebrated by many sofa gamers, is launching its first keyboard on the market with the Cykey. With solid workmanship, exciting features and support for the open-source QKM/VIA software, the company wants to shake up the controversial keyboard market. Read on to find out whether [...]
Geekom IT12 Mini-PC in the test – With the i7-12650H and plenty of connections through everyday life
After we recently tested the i9-13900H, probably the most powerful small computer with an Intel processor currently available from this manufacturer, things are getting a little more normal again today. You can find out in detail how the IT12 performs in the following test report. If you missed the article on the IT13, you can read it here: [...]
If you think I’m going to take another look at a monitor I’ve already tested, you’re not wrong. Visually, the KTC M27P20 Pro (M27P20P) looks extremely similar to the Cooler Master Tempest GP27U. You could almost call them identical twins. The built-in panel from AU-Optronics is also the same as the GP27U. The Cooler Master [...]
Do you even need an NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 like the Corsair MP700 Pro and if so, where is the pain threshold for the price? Does such a bolide bring any real added performance value and what is actually installed in detail? Nothing escapes my material tests in this regard and yes, the SSD really is ROHS-compliant. But you could have guessed that [...]
Over the last ten months, I have had the privilege of testing the GAMECHANGER gaming chair extensively. Privilege because I love my back and my backside and don’t normally let anyone or anything get close to me. And now? I’m more of a long-term person, so it was important to me to evaluate a premium product over a longer period of time [...]
With the Dark Base 701, BeQuiet! is launching a new edition of the Dark Base 700, which is intended to seamlessly follow on from the large Dark Base Pro 901 with a fresh look and radically changed airflow design. Read today’s test to find out what the 230-euro behemoth is capable of in practice. Now the small Dark Base is also being revised [...]
From time to time, I like to publish background stories about companies and important people, which are not easily found on the Internet, but which I have known for a long time and highly value. The reason is simple: while everyone knows and uses the products, few know who or what is behind such seemingly everyday things. Besides a lot of work [...]
AMD took its time with the Navi32, probably also for resource reasons, and now PowerColor even comes with an RX 7800XT Hellhound in a completely white dress – right down to the board and coils. The GeForce RTX 4070 is always firmly in view and of course poses with the 16 GB graphics memory. The cooler is huge, the power limit is ample and [...]
Short connection? Then you only need to own a Fritz!Box from AVM and operate it in Deutsche Telekom’s fiber optic network (FTTH). If you then call a mobile phone number and want to talk a little longer, you will lose relatively quickly. Or rather, after just two minutes and one second. Because that’s when the connection is lost and you [...]
