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. Anyone who thinks a review of a massive external enclosure for NVMe SSDs would be boring has never really paid attention to the details. I currently have a lot of things on my mind and [...]
Innovative cooling system for future laptops: Frore Systems presents AirJet Pro. Frore Systems has developed AirJet Pro, a groundbreaking cooling system designed to enable thinner, lighter and quieter laptops. The company plans to introduce this system in select models in the second half of 2023. In an interview with PCWorld, more details about [...]
Since I get requests again and again, from which material what exactly consists and it is now possible for me with manageable effort to answer such questions, I start today retroactively just a new series of articles, which can be continued at will. No matter whether coolers, heatspreaders of CPUs, various pastes and pads, cables and connectors [...]
We recently reviewed this manufacturer’s new all-black flagship, but today we’re moving more in the direction of the upper mid-range, and it’s also allowed to have some colorful lighting. 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 [...]
It has been quite a while since Deepcool released the third version of its flagship air cooler. So it’s high time to add something to it. You could already admire it at exhibitions, but now it’s time for the real thing and my testbench. Is it possible to play at the top again with version 4? Click here for the review of the [...]
With the Dark Base Pro 901, BeQuiet! replaces the previous flagship Dark Base Pro 900. In order to not completely change the successful and very flexible DNA of the Dark Base series, mainly changes in detail were made besides the more modern look. Read our review to find out whether the noble case is convincing. Clever detail solutions have always [...]
Raijintek’s products have always been able to shine with a very good price-performance ratio in recent years. No matter if it was cases, cooling solutions or fans, the testers always agreed that you get a lot of product for your money. Whether this is also the case with the Paean C7, you can read in the review. You can tell at first glance [...]
The last time we tested a MasterAir air cooler, it was already of considerable dimensions and offered quite a bit of cooling performance. And now, just over 2 years later, there is a successor that is supposed to offer even more? Let’s take a closer look at Cooler Master’s new flagship! If you would like to read the first review in [...]
Announced months ago and already shown at CES, the C750 Air from Thermaltake’s new CTE series finally arrived shortly before Computex. What the gigantic Airflow Case has to offer and what there is to consider, you can read in the review. CTE stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency – a design that blows cold air into the case from the [...]
With the 2000D Airflow, Corsair rounds out the current portfolio downwards and now also presents an extremely spacious case for the smallest form factor. Up to eight 120mm fans, a 360mm AIO and a tripple-slot GPU with a length of up to 36cm can be accommodated in 24.4 liters. You can read more about the drawbacks in the review. Short preface [...]
With the Gainward RTX 1660 Super (Susi), I am once again rescuing a graphics card that I had already tested extensively almost four years ago and that has also been in almost daily use since then. This ranges as a career ladder from the office to the recording PC (OBS) and the gaming use in the PC of my youngest son. And at some point the card got [...]
A little fun fact beforehand: Xilence was one of the first brands from which I (Tim, not Igor) tested a cooler several years ago. At that time I was not yet “firmly” on the road at IgorsLab! With really very reasonable prices Xilence has made a name for itself, until today they hold the #1 spot of the cheapest AiO watercooling with [...]
After we had a whole series of large air coolers on the testbench, including the almost gigantic be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, let’s look at the other extreme today. Whether this small cooler and its 92mm fan can tame a Ryzen 9 – and under which conditions – you can find out in the following article. Packaging and scope of delivery [...]
Groundhog day, again and again. Today, I’m pushing up a classic review for you to enjoy on a cold winter Sunday, and it was a very interesting experiment. Already 12 years ago I had tested various things up to the adhesive cream for the third for their thermal conductivity. However, this time I have modified the classics a bit and included [...]
The Raijintek Morpheus is currently still the most popular and above all also the most potent air cooler for graphics cards, but the compatibility was somewhat behind the current graphics card generations from NVIDIA and AMD. I got myself a final version directly from Taiwan in advance, however, this cooler (as of yesterday morning) is also [...]
For once, I don’t have a picture gallery for today’s Sunday, but I do have a terrific pearl from the daily routine of a supplier of various cooling products, which also include fans. And no, if you think that the “poo-like” colorizing on the picture stands for a new model series from Noctua, I have to disappoint you [...]
To be able to cover the higher TDP classes of processors in the future, I upgraded my testbench from a Ryzen 5 3600 to a Ryzen 9 3950X. However, so that the compact or budget coolers are not completely overtaxed, testing is done in three stages. This article serves as a reference and basis for future comparisons so that tested air and water [...]
Due to the high popularity and the many requests, we are following up today with a small follow-up on the Fractal Design North case. Many users have asked “does this work thermally with a large graphics card?” We got to the bottom of this question, installed a Radeon 6900XT without further ado and Fractal was even able to provide us [...]
