The German company Xilence is not only known for its unspeakable names, but also for its exceptionally affordable cooling solutions. And with the new LiQuRizer LQ240RGB, they want to live up to both of these reputations.
TechN who? TechN GmbH is an innovative start-up of technology-loving enthusiasts, sits in Berlin, manufactures everything from a single source and in-house – something like this still exists. In addition, Nvidia's 10 series was something of an insider tip for exclusive solutions. So in fact a small series manufacturer for initiates. Now [...]
At the end of 2017, Cooler Master introduced the MasterLiquid ML240L RGB, the illuminated answer to the ever-increasing popularity of RGB components. At its core, however, the MasterLiquid 240, which was released at the beginning of 2017, remains identical with identical technical data. More than two years later, the ML240L RGB still bravely stays [...]
The fact that I am given prototypes, PVT or evaluation samples in advance by various production products is not new. Also, with a little luck, you can pick up one or the other good piece in advance at the OEM, which you know so well, without having to beg the customer in question big. Be it as it is – something always works and it is never [...]
The Raijintek Samos RX 5700 XT, which I tested today, is so new that it is not even listed at the dealers. My test sample has made it on an unofficial way from Asia directly to the laboratory, so that I can already present you exclusively a product that will only be officially available for purchase in the coming days. I already feel so slowly [...]
Corsair has also recently entered the water plans sector with the Hydro-X series, offering selected products (all manufactured by experienced finishers). I had already tested a part in a PC project, today the GPU water block has to believe in it. Cold maker or blender? That's what I already know now and you after reading the review. And yes [...]
The way is the goal, but you could also say abbreviated learning curve. The Alphacool ice block XPX Aurora Pro Plexi Digital RGB is certainly such a typical product for this genre, because it combines at the end a probably previously underestimated Alphacool ice block XPX Pro 1U with addressable RGB and a modified exterior. This may well please if [...]
Sometimes the best methods fail on the largest surface and that's why I once looked more intensively at the optimal method. Now with "Try and Error" you can apply paste again and again and then measure it elaborately, because you don't see how the paste actually spreads with the cooler applied. Well, really not? Me already! The [...]
The asymmetrical arrangement of the chiplets on the one side and the I/O die on the other side of the Ryzen CPUs of the third generation has it quite in itself. In a first video I had already captured the heating of the CPU as a top view in a special infrared video, which you should have seen before for a better understanding. One of the findings [...]
An exclusive video of the warm-up process shows a Ryzen of the 3. generation and the two hotspots. The existence of a thermal protection circuit of the I/O Die would remain to be questioned. The CPU should be used at approx. 120 degrees just switch off, but the risk of a counter-test was too high for me. And how to mount the water block for a [...]
During testing with various X570 motherboards and the Ryzen 2 and Ryzen 3 models, I noticed that there are considerable differences between the water temperature and the die temperature (Delta), even though I have set a fixed power limit of 95 watts in the Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO). Counter-tests as a measurement at the EPS connector [...]
Alphacool and the GPX water blocks are such a thing that the manufacturer really had to redefine. This is exactly where the completely new Aurora GPX is going to start, because the new cooling design will not only be available for Navi. But also and that's exactly why I wanted to know more. Above all, I am interested in what has changed in the [...]
Deepcool is following the path of evolution with the Captain 240 Pro for the AiO compact water coolers, rather than ever-new products. This gives you a mature product, the initial problems of which have long been history with the first models. And with the new pressure equalization chamber, you are even putting on top of an innovation that you can [...]
The suffering with the online buying behaviour of the packaging rip-offs and return eraise is already annoying enough for shops and distributors. But there is another category of creative defect inventors, some of whom even manage to find defects in unpacked products. So almost the X-ray view through the sealed box or the supposedly unsuccessful [...]
Icebreakers and price breakers arenot quite accidental lycomal and so I was looking forward to the Raijintek Samos NV 2080 Ti RBW, which trudged in as a pre-model directly from the manufacturer here. Well, there was no final packaging yet and there was still some improvisation, but the product itself was final, if already used. And one thing I can [...]
Yes, I did it again and tested something from the stack of different pads today that fundamentally differs from the material that has already been tested before. It is a phase change pad, but this time made of lightly pressed nanopolymers and electrically non-conductive. For this purpose, it is thin enough and otherwise quite flexible to handle [...]
A little bit I now put up the horse from behind, after we have already reached and published the overclocking results of the Radeon VII with exactly this cooler, but especially the assembly of this cooler in general and the peculiarities of the Radeon VII when tightening the screws in particular, a second, more precise look is also worthwhile. And [...]
What lasts for a long time will eventually be good. And so today the Express man came and brought me a small, brown package. Directly from EK Waterblocks and as a nice, quite exclusive greeting from the Balkans. And then there was exactly what the Radeon VII fan community had long longed for: a real fullcover water block for the Radeon VII. With [...]
New revision, new happiness? Let's see what Alphacool made of the ice block GPX, because there is now a new model M02, which is compatible with both the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080, and the RTX 2070. Today's test has to show how well all this performs and where you can classify the cooler in direct comparison to your competitors. In my [...]
