One lapse of attention and there it was, the so-called “Next Gen” update for Fallout 4. Hurray for Steam as the cold-blooded executor of a digital outrage that is probably unparalleled in this form. What was supposed to be a grand reunion with the Commonwealth quickly turned out to be a tired copy of earlier promises. Bethesda, the [...]
With the Masterbox 600, COOLER MASTER aims to provide a solid basis for all price ranges of PC construction, from entry-level systems to high-end builds. It is certainly a difficult undertaking to design a case that is still compatible with the budget of an entry-level or mid-range PC, but offers such a wide range of functions that you could [...]
The discussions about the correct and optimal application of thermal paste on CPU or GPU are as old as the pastes themselves. Whether blobs, sausages, circles, dots or whatever shape – the fear of applying too much or too little paste in the wrong place is huge, especially among first-time users and newcomers. Reason enough for our community [...]
No, you don’t have deja vu. I already tested this budget air cooler 3 years ago, but back then it was still in silver and under the SilentiumPC brand. What exactly motivated the manufacturer, which is now known as Endorfy, to bring out the cooler again? I have no idea. But with the new black finish and attractive price, we don’t want [...]
I’ve lost track of how many of these small computers we’ve tested here with this design, but today we’re finally moving up a generation in processors. After a model with a 7940HS recently hit our benchmarks and your wallets like a bomb, the 7735Hs hopefully offers comparable performance at a more affordable price. Let’s [...]
Who wouldn’t want to play games with a GeForce RTX 4080 in a deeply relaxed manner and at the same time save themselves the expensive purchase of a powerful computer with a suitable CPU substructure that they don’t need around the clock anyway? Today’s article is based on an experience report by our community member Olligo and [...]
After a long delay, today we are taking a look at the new dual-chamber case from Corsair, which generates powerful Carbide Air 540 vibes. As I also installed the XH405i RGB Hard-Tube Watercooling Kit as part of the test, you can expect plenty of pictures. So better get a large coffee to read the article today. To be precise, it was the Corsair [...]
Even though Intel is currently being celebrated for the new BIOS profiles for CPUs from Raptor Lake onwards on all the Z790 mainboards – has anyone ever asked themselves what will happen to the Z690 mainboards, which are also compatible? There’s nothing yet, nothing has been announced and you slowly get the impression that those [...]
The problem with the Intel desktop processors of the 13th and 14th generation, i.e. Raptor Lake-S and Raptor Lake-S-Refresh, is not getting any smaller and the bad news does not stop. At this point, one could almost believe that Intel has simply left the whole thing to the motherboard manufacturers and is hoping to divert attention away from its [...]
I have not yet commented on the now ubiquitous investigations and explanations of the problems with Intel’s 13th and 14th generation K-CPUs, because pure speculation brings nothing but more speculation. As I also don’t use any special “OC features” from certain motherboard manufacturers in all launch reviews and also in my [...]
Update from 23.04.2024 at 09:45 am In the meantime, i.e. this morning, the outstanding amount has been validated on my bank account. You have to be fair and add that too, of course. Even though it obviously puts me at ease in this respect, my thoughts are still with my colleagues whose livelihoods depend on the outstanding wage payments. This [...]
Although many see the PCI SIG as the originator of the ill-fated 12VHPWR or 12V2x6 connector, the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI SIG) is an industry-wide non-profit organization founded in 1992. Its members consist of hundreds of companies from the computer and electronics industry who work together to develop and promote standards for peripheral [...]
Sapphire had already launched a white Radeon RX 7900GRE Pure 16GB shortly after the launch of the GRE in Germany, which I will test again today. Now that availability, prices and drivers have stabilized somewhat, today’s test was practically a must. Firstly, this GRE card lacks the drinker gene, as was the case with the Nitro, and secondly [...]
Yes yes, the Philips EVNIA 34M2C8600. A name that goes down the gullet like liquid sunlight. All joking aside! The Philips offers the same first-generation Samsung QD-OLED panel that Alienware, MSI and Samsung themselves also have in their range. So we get a 3440 x 1440p ultrawide monitor with 175 Hz refresh rate and 1800R Curved. It also comes [...]
The Enermax Revolution D.F.12 850W is the smallest ATX v3.1 power supply on the market today and measures just 122 mm in depth. It promises tolerance of up to 235% power swing, although the ATX specification calls for up to 200%, which is already overkill for today’s GPUs. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from [...]
Don’t touch it! Anyone who works with a multi-monitor setup or has had the pleasure of setting one up will be familiar with the situation – once you’ve accidentally touched it, days of adjustment are a waste of time. Read on to find out how to prevent this situation. When I was asked some time ago whether I had the time and [...]
The HP FX700 tested today is no longer brand new, but there was a reason for that, because I tend to be skeptical about QLC. Hewlett Packard, or HP for short, is one of the leading names in the technology industry worldwide. However, when developing the SSDs, HP entered into a partnership with BIWIN Storage, a renowned Chinese manufacturer of SSD [...]
But it’s about time there were 32-inch monitors with OLED panels – or what do you think? Today we take a closer look at the ASUS ROG Swift PG32UCDM. A monitor in 16:9 format with a resolution of 3840 x 2160p and a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz. The built-in panel comes from Samsung Display, a 3rd generation QD-OLED panel with a slightly [...]
Packaging and scope of delivery In case you forget who made the NAS between buying it and receiving it, the name is printed again on each side of the box. Very helpful! The contents are protected by foam blocks cut to size, and there is also a box with the accessories on the side. In it we find a 90 watt EA10952F-120 power supply unit, screws for [...]
This time it was Asus and the ears of the buyer, who had purchased an Asus RTX 4080 TUF Gaming just over a year ago. Why did I even bother with the root cause research and repair? As always, it’s a bit down to my curiosity and the fact that I find it hard to say no in justified damage situations once something has triggered me. The affected [...]
The unexpected often happens. And perhaps an Asian graphics card manufacturer is returning to the German market, which has scored highly in the past with interesting graphics card conversions. In addition to all the gaming products, where this manufacturer has made quite a splash in Asia in recent years with its exuberant coolers and add-ons, it [...]
In today’s fourth part, I sacrifice my private Mo-Ra3 360 Pro from the lab in the service of science, simply because space was needed for something bigger. Yes, I admit that the working radiator, which unfortunately is no longer available to buy new, could certainly have been sold for a profit on kleinanzeigen.de. But firstly, I generally [...]
