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 [...]
Double test in a two-chamber case – Corsair 6500 Series Mid-Tower and the XH405i RGB Hard-Tube Custom-Loop Kit

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 [...]
Many readers have already noticed that Arctic sells the popular (because cheap) P12 PWM PST (and not only this) in new revisions. In the meantime, the fan we tested today has reached revision 4 and that alone is reason enough to draw a real comparison. For this purpose, we measured both revision 1 and revision 4 again under the same conditions [...]
From time to time, I like to present interesting projects ranging from community careers to startups or life stories behind the scenes of a company. Today I’m going to give you a home story of a different kind, because I’m going to let Marc Gaser tell his life story and tale of woe himself. The story of and about Liquid Extasy as a [...]
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 [...]
After we released the beta on Thursday, I received a lot of feedback from the community. This was reason enough for our programmer to go one step further and implement what makes sense from a technical point of view. Thus, two new columns can already be used for ranking: Airflow per dBA and static pressure per dBA. Since this ratio is rather [...]
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 [...]
Based on this week’s article on laser-indicated plasma spectrography and the results of the actually rather randomly selected pastes, Cooler Master immediately ruled in the case of the Cryo Fuze Violet (see further down in the text). I analyzed the measurement in more detail, because there were two things: on the one hand, the Al2O3-based [...]
Today, for the first time, an AiO water cooler from Lian Li finds its way onto my testbench, a really interesting model. By the way, Lian Li has also changed the OEM, so all-clear. Asetek instead of Apaltek. And so that it doesn’t get too exciting, we’ll start without further ado! Packaging and scope of delivery Dark printed and in a [...]
I recently had an article where I successfully used Thermal Putty on a graphics card. It is ultimately a highly viscous thermal paste (often referred to as thermal adhesive). Thermal Putty is a highly interesting (and often misunderstood in DIY) material used between electronic components and heat sinks to improve heat transfer. Traditional [...]
Update from 19.07.2023 – 02:30 pm Since the Cryo Fuze is supposed to be mainly composed of aluminium (I will, of course, not disclose the actual recipe for certain reasons), the absence of any aluminium traces over so many measurement points is indeed interesting and an important finding for Cooler Master. In consultation with the [...]
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 [...]
Today only very quickly, because we had already tested this water cooler in detail recently. But since the manufacturer would also like to play with the “big ones”, the version with 360mm radiator follows. The detailed review of the small version can be found here: Packaging and scope of delivery Once again, the AiO is delivered in a [...]
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 [...]
Today there is the refresh of the refresh, then with the new “Core” series of AiO water coolers Cooler Master wants to simultaneously offer a comparatively inexpensive cooling solution and also still replace the now 2 year old “V2” series. This was also a slightly updated version of its predecessor, so the [...]
