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 [...]

in today’s article, we have tested 10 water blocks, on 2 platforms, with 2 pump settings, each with different mounting variants. Today is not about theoretical values, but about real performance figures that every reader can measure themselves at home with a little effort. The background to all this is, of course, the initial review of the [...]
I’ve now reached part three and it’s time to briefly summarize the first two articles and, above all, to evaluate the reactions of the manufacturers, or rather their silence. As the case may be. Today’s test is about Radicooler (Qingdao YTeng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.) and Magicool (Qingdao Magicool Electronic Technology Co [...]
After I found considerable amounts of prohibited lead in the radiator of the Barrow Dabel 28b Slim 120 mm, I naturally informed Caseking in advance, as I did with Bykski. Because the question naturally arises as to the causes and how to deal with such a violation of the applicable guidelines. Bykski’s German distributor also reacted quickly [...]
The big Radiator Material Test: Even more lead, a popular hiding place and 2.5 bright spots | Part 2
Even though there are only four radiators today, I spent quite a lot of time finding the right places where some manufacturers still like to use unauthorized substances such as lead – always hoping that nobody will find them anyway. At the same time, I have my sights set on an OEM for the next part that can even do both: work cleanly and [...]
The development of a next-generation thermal paste could not only improve the efficiency of heat dissipation systems, but also herald a new era in cooling technology. The mysterious company behind this project has developed a revolutionary idea that could fundamentally change the way heat is dissipated. Perhaps, because there have already been [...]
Arctic only recently presented the successor to the popular Liquid Freezer II AIO, and is now also introducing a new model in the air cooler segment. You can find out whether the Freezer can also perform well without the “Liquid” addition in the following test report. Click here for the article on the new AIO water cooler: Packaging [...]
The manufacturer Arctic has introduced a new series of air coolers with its Freezer 36, which was launched at the time of writing. Among other things, the different variants, specifications and prices of the new air cooler were presented. You can look forward to some interesting functions. A corresponding review will be published tomorrow, March [...]
I have linked the relevant article again below, but today’s text is actually clear enough. In the Watercool HEATKILLER RAD 120-S Black I tested yesterday, I found simple and only average brass in the cooling channels instead of the advertised copper. Watercool reacted quite quickly after publishing the article and my video, but not in the [...]
No, I’m not going to test the cooling performance of radiators for PC cooling today, but I am going to take a closer look at the first six manufacturers and their current models to see whether they really do contain exactly what the marketing advertises and the customer buys in good faith in some cases. In the first part, I obtained [...]
Part 1 of my series with interior views and material analyses of commercially available radiators for PC water cooling starts on Monday. I’m leaving out the AiO compact water coolers for now, but I’m still planning something in this regard. But I’ll come back to that later. On Monday, I have already worked through the first [...]
A good year and a half after the last revision of the popular Fuma 2, a lot has happened on the market and there is no longer a Scythe product in the top 10 most popular air coolers. Obviously, Scythe doesn’t want to take this lying down and launched the Fuma 3 a while ago. Find out whether it can still keep up and what exactly the title is [...]
No sooner have we finally caught up with the review of one of the most popular complete water cooling systems than there’s already a successor. So I won’t beat about the bush for long, here we go with the test report for version 3! And yes, Arctic obviously doesn’t just want to kill the CPUs with it, but also the competition with [...]
Today’s article comes from our community member big-maec and it shows how the community is also keen to experiment with various pads. The article will also show that sometimes it takes a little more work to really fix a problem permanently. The user’s problem child this time was the Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Ultra W OC 8G with [...]
Today we take a look at the current top model of an AIO water cooling system from Enermax. As the title already hinted at, a few things here and there reminded me of a very popular product from a competitor. You can find out whether this is a productive inspiration or a disappointing copy in the following review. Click here for the latest article [...]
Today I would like to dispel a few myths and, above all, explain why thermal compound is not just about the fillers and why there is a lot of marketing and even more inconsistencies and untruths in this gold-digger business. The article is also intended to raise awareness and help to separate honest and diligent suppliers from third-party [...]
Even if it has now taken a little longer and some impatient contemporaries have repeatedly demanded a prompt publication: It was by no means a case of us sitting it out, but rather a lot of precise work to work through almost a year of fan tests and conduct a fair investigation into the causes of the totally botched fan test of the Alphacool 120 [...]
It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen an air cooler from this manufacturer, and the last attempt was crowned with moderate success. Now they are trying again and want to reach the top. The following test report will tell you whether this will work. Packaging and scope of delivery Of course, we’ll also take a quick look at the [...]
According to XPG, the upcoming hybrid design is a patented dual-fan CPU cooler that integrates many functions into a single unit. It is important to note that this product is still far from its final design and should be considered an early prototype. Therefore, the final design may change drastically. The hybrid CPU cooler from XPG initially [...]
Today we are taking a closer look at another air cooler that is at the top of the Geizhals.de rankings in terms of popularity. In the following test report, you can find out whether the low price of around 20 euros (without ARGB) or around 25 euros (with ARGB) offers sufficient cooling performance. Endorfy must have cut corners somewhere to make [...]
