In today's workvlog I show you again a Mini ITX system, saved with a full custom watercooling in the smallest space and the complete installation history. And yes, in the tightest of spaces you also need very jointed fingers as well as a tiny bit of stamina and a lot of patience. And what else do you need? That's right: a suitable housing [...]

Time is running out and many are already waiting for the second part and today is the day (who missed the first part: click here). We take a look at the finished high-end gaming PC including the peripherals. The focus will be on the topic of custom water cooling. So if you expect there to be much on the subject of PC assembly in general today [...]

The question of what material the radiator is made of comes up again and again among the articles about AiO water coolers. And the answer is actually always: aluminum. Today I can finally give the answer that is secretly desired, because Alphacool combines here parts from the custom loop segment with the simplicity of an AiO. What makes the [...]
What follows is a solution to a mix of a homegrown problem, weekend project, and experimentation. I've summarized the results and how to get there in this article, in case anyone else falls right into that niche. But even if not, it should still be interesting for the rest. Problem Any good problem solving should start with an analysis and [...]
What do you need for such a fancy project? Actually, it's not that much, as long as it's just the water cooling parts. These are normal off-the-shelf components. The most important and, unfortunately, the most expensive component is, of course, its own house with a cool basement. That will then probably also be the exclusion criterion for [...]
Let’s assume we purchase a new laptop and naturally want to treat it to nothing but the best. And we blindly trust the suppliers’ marketing and various forum reports about how great liquid metal performs in laptops. With purchase prices around 1000 euros and more, you don’t want to splurge. The 80 euro surcharge is no longer an [...]
Due to a given occasion, I now even have to add a third part to my water cooling investigations. It will unfortunately show what happens when you combine (without knowing it) an aluminum cooler with copper components and I will specifically question why the result turns out so extreme, as in this case. Of course, you also have to differentiate the [...]
I did not make it easy for myself, but worked on this topic for almost half a year. In the first article last year I had already written about clogged radiators and tubes, defective pumps and the theory behind the coolants on their additives. After a very complex analysis with the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and with the help of energy [...]
You can’t get enough of RGB lighting and are looking for a new top class case? Then the new Corsair 5000T could be the fulfillment of your dreams. The case comes with more than 200 LEDs, and I can already tell you that it is absolutely convincing from a technical point of view. However, you can read more about the small catch in the test [...]
Ever smaller manufacturing processes lead to ever higher thermal densities in CPUs and GPUs. This is one of the reasons why Intel’s new Alder Lake CPUs run so hot that every air cooler almost has no chance with a big i9, no matter how many watts of waste heat it is designed for. The often cited bottleneck lies further up the cooling chain [...]

To describe it in detail, otherwise the headline would have been too long: Today, we will use the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to analyze in more detail what is really inside one of the most popular (and also cheaper) thermal pastes in the form of the Arctic MX-4. The [...]

As promised, today we cover part 2 of the “Washermod”, in which we want to evaluate a few more combinations of different motherboards, socket manufacturers and coolers in a before and after test with the modification. To briefly summarize what the washer mod is all about: washers are installed between the motherboard and the ILM [...]
