Admittedly, the headline is a bit sensationalist. But compared to the total thermal failure of the first Era generation, things could only get better. Read on to find out how Fractal Design has transformed the Era 2 into a really good ITX case. With the first Era, Fractal made the fatal mistake of concentrating exclusively on the design of the [...]
The Sharkoon Rebel P20 1200 is an affordable high-power power supply that complies with the latest ATX specifications (v3.1) and can deliver double the power for a short time if required. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on our site, as he has not only tested this power supply [...]
As I myself often have “back pain” due to my long periods of sitting in the office and laboratory, I am very well sensitized to the Fractal Refine test, as I completely changed my seating two years ago for precisely these painful reasons. Physically painful, because I suffered from shortened muscles due to the constant sitting, and [...]
With the 3500 series, Corsair rounds off its portfolio of current case series at the lower end and offers (with the NON-RGB version) a solid and compact showcase in the double-digit price range. Read today’s test to find out how the stylish tower performs in everyday use. The new 3500(X) really can’t deny its relationship to the 6500 [...]
The growing demand for detailed information on power supplies has led CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR) to rely exclusively on Cybenetics’ more advanced efficiency and noise certifications. This means that the 80 PLUS certification previously used will be gradually replaced. The aim of this decision is to raise consumer awareness of the differences [...]
Although there is still little official information about NVIDIA’s new graphics card, the GeForce 5090, other companies already seem to be making preparations. For example, the new X Silent Edge Platinum Power Supply Unit from Cooler Master will support the GeForce 5090. This information was first announced by X user momomo_US that the [...]
The Corsair SF1000 is one of the most powerful SFX power supplies currently available on the market. It offers top performance, high efficiency and is also ATX v3.1 compliant. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on our site, as he has not only tested this power supply intensively [...]
Every year again, or what was that? Yes, I also like to take a look at a case and assemble a PC. And because you don’t want to get the big catapult out financially, I deliberately look at inexpensive parts. That’s why today I have the Sharkoon Rebel C50, which I also requested as a sample. And then two boxes arrived at once. As [...]
With the TC500 LUXE, Corsair aims to close the wide gap between gaming chairs with a racing seat design and expensive high-end office chairs. During the design process, the focus was on comfort and flexibility and you can read in the test whether the chair covered in breathable fabric can do more than just be comfortable. While Corsair’s [...]
The NZXT C1500 is a powerful and high-performance power supply that can deliver up to 3000W of power for short periods of time if required. With the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 5090, you are definitely on the safe side with a 1500W ATX v3.1 compliant power supply. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and [...]
Here it is at last, the article on the recently refreshed NZXT H7 Flow. With a radically transformed power supply chamber and a completely different approach to the choice of mesh structure, the H7 is set to attack the top dogs. Read on to find out whether the upgrades work. With some new case releases, there is a certain level of expectation on [...]
The Deepcool PL550D currently costs around 49 euros, making it the cheapest (almost) ATX v3.1 power supply on the market, even if it is advertised as ATX 3.0. This price would still be very low even for ATX power supplies of the previous generation. However, although the maximum output is limited to 550W, this device can withstand power peaks of [...]
First of all, I would of course like to recommend the valuable trade fair video from me, because the tour and a nice explanation naturally provide a real live impression that no film in the world can replace. If you want to see two people really sweating (me because of the heat and NZXT because of the amount of explanations), I can only warmly [...]
Igor has already presented a lot with some Asus announcements. I can warmly recommend the video to you. But of course, that’s not the only news from Asus. The company unveiled itsROG THOR 1600W Titanium 3 and the ROG Mjolnir at this year’s Computex. Computex 2024: Asus mit X870, Konzeptboards und Peripherie Let’s start with [...]
In the brand new SUP-01 case, LIAN LI is breaking new ground in many respects to cool components as efficiently as possible. Read on to find out why radical solutions can often overshoot the mark and why new concepts often bring new inconveniences. When LIAN LI unveiled its latest concepts in 2023, many PC builders were beside themselves with [...]
With the View 270 TG ARGB, THERMALTAKE is launching a compact “aquarium” case with a glass front and side panel for less than €100, which, despite its modern look, is able to build on the virtues of its older siblings. Read on to find out whether it succeeds and what has to be sacrificed to achieve this. Even though I don’t like [...]
At an event in China, the MSI Wuhan Station Dragon Shield Technology Salon 2024, the company MSI presented its MAG PANO 100L PZ PLUS case, which is already celebrating its release this month, as IThome reports. The case should therefore have a lot to offer. The MAG PANO M100R/L was released last year and the new housing is now said to be much [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
At the beginning of the year, we already tested a “Max” case from Cooler Master here, but at that time for compact systems with an ITX mainboard. Today, another case follows with the same partially-prepared approach, but for ATX. This is not really my form factor, but our case specialist Alexander needs some time off and my test of the [...]
With the new edition of the tower series in the old classic vertical case design, Thermaltake has come up with a beautifully designed octagonal prism shape and gives the case a new shine and various color variations. Starting at a fair €140 (depending on the color), it also offers plenty of space for hardware and rounds off the concept with a 3 [...]
The big question that many people are asking themselves: Is it still worth buying an ATX v3.0 power supply now? Recently, everyone has been asking me why they should still buy an ATX v3.0 power supply when the ATX v3.1 specification has long been on the market. However, this is also because very few people even understand that the main difference [...]
It’s clear to everyone that, for the most part, a laptop doesn’t come close to a desktop PC. This is particularly noticeable when you want to play games or use more powerful applications. Here you can clearly see that performance and quality are already limited. A gaming laptop can help, but even here there are severe limitations in [...]
