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. Read on to find out how the compact case for around 120 euros performs in everyday use. During the Christmas [...]
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 [...]
An alternative title might have been “better later than never”. By popular demand, today’s review is of the popular Liquid Freezer II complete water cooling system, in each of the two most popular sizes. There’s a lot to test in a double pack, so let’s get straight to it. Packaging and scope of delivery [...]
When you open a drawer searching for something and come across thermal paste that’s 20 years old, there are two possible reactions: throw it away or give it to me for testing. The kind dealer opted for the latter, as my curiosity is known to be the last to die. It’s almost like finding a can of soup from the era of the Deutsche Mark [...]
Today we have the premiere of the Enermax brand here with us, directly with an AIO water cooling system in two sizes. In my opinion, this manufacturer has somewhat disappeared from the scene, the best I can remember is the unusual “Steelwing” mATX case. So let’s take a look at how this cooler performs. Packaging and scope of [...]
With the Dark Base 701, BeQuiet! is launching a new edition of the Dark Base 700, which is intended to seamlessly follow on from the large Dark Base Pro 901 with a fresh look and radically changed airflow design. Read today’s test to find out what the 230-euro behemoth is capable of in practice. Now the small Dark Base is also being revised [...]
We have already tested the somewhat larger Elite variant, and today we are going to review the PRO 5. In the following review, you will find out how it compares to its predecessors and top models from other manufacturers. And if you are interested in the slightly larger (and more expensive) cooler, you can also read the other review: Click here [...]
After more than 5 years, there is once again an update of the Dark Rock series and then also directly two models at the same time. Today, we will first take a look at the “ELITE” variant, the “PRO 5” will follow soon. The following test report will tell you how the new top model from this manufacturer compares. Packaging [...]
Finally in the database and also online as a single review on igor’sLAB – with the Corsair iCUE LINK QX120 RGB, Corsair has raised the bar quite a bit, primarily in connectivity and unfortunately also in price. And if you want to get into the world of iCUE LINK, then you usually need a three-pack with the system hub right away, if you [...]
We recently reviewed Lian Li’s visually quite plain, but very powerful Trinity Performance complete water cooler, and now the significantly flashier alternative has to prove itself. A small screen in the system is not to everyone’s taste, but is a good cooler hidden behind the pixels? Here you can catch up on the last review of a Lian [...]
Intel and Submer have collaborated to formulate an innovative development in single-phase immersion cooling technology that provides optimal heat dissipation for CPUs up to 1000W. Submer specializes in providing data center solutions worldwide and is engaged in managing cooling solutions for various applications such as HPC, hyperscale, data [...]
A call for help from friends, a budget GPU is needed! Thanks to good experiences and with efficiency in mind, I recommended the RX 6600 with a clear conscience, but I didn’t count on Intel, because a B560 motherboard and a Rdeon RX 6600 are obviously not an ideal pair. Super-Susi rushed to the rescue and then saved the day among friends [...]
Even though the predecessor was not tested by us, we will not miss the newest member of the “Pure Loop” series. The manufacturer promises a better control via PWM of the decoupled pump and equips this complete water cooling with the new Pure Wings 3 high-speed fans. Packaging and scope of delivery The mostly black cardboard box already [...]
Today’s unveiling of the Alphacool Apex Stealth Metal Fan (Pro) completes the circle of long development, various pre-announcements and influencer pirouettes, as the part has finally arrived in mass production and is also now available for pre-order. Of course, we live in a time where even a trivial new screw cries out for attention by [...]
The Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM has been around for what feels like an eternity, and of course such a product may be technically improved over time, or the tooling is changed on a regular basis, or at least various details are changed. There was already media attention in 2016 about the (ultimately non-existent) differences between the Chinese and [...]
With the new Atmos line of AiO water coolers, Cooler Master once again adds to the wide range of mid-range cooling solutions on offer, but says it wants to reduce packaging waste and offer an optimized user experience at the same time. Find out what the new cooler can do in the following review. The Atmos series is supposed to be positioned [...]
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 [...]
