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 [...]
Today’s article goes into detail about fan control software and a few important connection basics. The following three concrete topics will be the subject of today’s article: A small overview of various programs for fan control, a tutorial on, program FanControl and a tutorial on creating fan curves. This is a continuation of what Igor [...]
With the Seasonic MagFlow 120 mm, Seasonic wants to reorient the market a little bit. Simple, high-performance and above all RGB-free, and the most important feature is a magnetically clickable daisy chain without superfluous cable assembly. Lian Li, we are coming (now too)! Click & Run for even more fun? Of course, acceptance will show [...]
A good half year ago, we already had the normal variant of this cooler in review, and now another model in completely black coloring and a second fan follows. First, a question on my part: Should not “Zero Dark” actually be a completely white version of this cooler? We might not find the answer to that today, but at least I can test [...]

After various render images of the new Morpheus 8069 GPU air cooler were leaked in the last few days due to rather unfortunate circumstances, which however do not officially come from Raijintek, but were picked up by a third party from an unprotected directory of the manufacturer’s server, I would like to turn the whole thing upside down a [...]
Yes, it’s winter again and the next hot hardware is just around the corner. Admittedly, summer is still a long way off, but it’s still getting warmer every day because the wattage of the components is also increasing so immeasurably. For a PC owner or self-builder, the topics of waste heat, cooling and ambient temperature (also [...]
