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.

According to XPG, the upcoming hybrid design is a patented dual-fan CPU cooler that integrates many functions into a single unit.

The hybrid CPU cooler from XPG initially [...]

Endorfy must have cut corners somewhere to make [...]

I am keeping this promise once again, today with one of the cheapest offers from the manufacturer be quiet! I tested the slightly more slimmed-down version of this cooler years ago on the old testbench: Packaging and [...]
The reason I’m expressing myself in such detail today is twofold. First, it’s always important to hear all sides of a story and objectively assess and evaluate what you’ve heard. Second, the knowledge gained, as of today, is now completely different. This isn’t to excuse what could have been done earlier but wasn’t. And this [...]
With the CH560, DeepCool remains true to its design language and appeals particularly to fans of simple shapes. The highlight: the CH560 “DIGITAL” version with integrated temperature display is available for an extra 10 euros.

By popular demand, I’m catching up on some popular air coolers, and today it’s the turn of the AK620. In Deepcool’s range, it looks a bit like the second-born son, which is rather neglected in terms of marketing and advertising. But can the 65-euro cooler perhaps even steal the show from its favorite child, the Assassin IV [...]
With the Apex Stealth Metal Fan and the Alphacool Apex Stealth Metal Power Fan, Alphacool is likely to succeed in jolting its competitors out of their dreamy slumber and shock them gracefully. The usual “Another winglet that no one needs” approach doesn’t cut it anymore. The story of full-frame fans has been told for months, even [...]

After the sinfully expensive and feature-laden Dark Base Pro series, BeQuiet! now unleashes the latest iteration of the upper class with the Shadow Base 800 series. We take a look at the white luxury version with ARGB lighting and put it through its paces. Maybe less is more after all? And there is certainly a huge difference between making [...]
The Thermaltake Ceres 500 turned out to be my secret case star of the year because it combines great features with a fresh look and performs well in all aspects. With the Ceres 300, Thermaltake now sends a shrunken version with slightly slimmed down features and hits a range with the form factor that should fit perfectly for the majority of all [...]
In today’s review, I took a closer look at Cooler Master’s Oracle Air because I still had it stored on the shelf of good deeds waiting for redemption.

No matter whether coolers, heatspreaders of CPUs, various pastes and pads, cables and connectors [...]

A decent cooling performance and still an unproblematic size for most mid towers is promised, so let’s check it out together! Here we go [...]
Today we start the beta phase of our first interactive fan database and offer for the first time a variety of real measurement results compared to the manufacturer data in an interactive database, which allows comparisons of application scenarios and speeds that did not exist so far. Since there is currently no source that offers realistic and [...]
