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 [...]
First of all, the part is really quiet! And does such a compensating container have to be boring? Sure, the part polarizes and you don't have to find everything beautiful just because it lights up. But if you've always wanted something different, give yourself the ball, just like me. I put the knob under the lab table for portable cooling [...]
RTX On and Cyberpunk, a hotly debated feature story. The game is already reaching the margins of the game, about which other providers can only marvel, so that the expectations are of course immensely high. Of course, you will have to deliver, otherwise the disappointment will be all the greater later on.
You can see it as you like, but the latest quarterly report from Jon Peddie Research (JPR) shows once again that it was a very positive quarter for AMD, despite all the supposed or obvious bottlenecks. In order to be able to classify and evaluate this correctly, however, one must first look at the entire market. Now Jon Peddie Research is, of [...]
In the meantime, we have arrived at version 1.1.0 and there are several new functions and changes to the interface. New is the "Save" button, because you can now load your own (or foreign) settings files in addition to BIOSen, which you saved with the also new "Save" button beforehand. This makes it possible to create various [...]
The new white paper on AMD's RDNA Gaming architecture is available and linked for reading. The white paper includes a technical analysis of the "Navi" architecture—the basis of graphics cards—including the new Radeon RX 5700 Series GPUs. The RDNA architecture has been optimized while providing backward compatibility with the GCN [...]
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 [...]
This step has been indicated to the attentive visitor for quite some time, but many things should always be approached with caution and as emotionless as possible, but with a long-term, strategic goal. It’s no different with the media than it is in private life, because at some point you simply realize that you no longer really feel [...]
This step today has been hinted at for a long time for the attentive observer, but many things should always be approached with care and as unemotionally as possible, but with a long-term, strategic goal. It's no different with the media than in private life, because at some point you just realize that you don't really feel comfortable in [...]
To avoid misunderstandings, Ryzen 3000 will also run on older motherboards after BIOS updates, just not with PCIE 4.0 and often not quite as efficient. AmD therefore admonishes the board manufacturers not only to hide power consumption values in the CPU lists, but also to adjust the limitation to the possible OC or to explicitly exclude this [...]
When testing the new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs, we found a significant difference in write rates between the R9 3900X and the R7 3700X in the aidA64 storage benchmarks. After initial astonishment and theoretical assumptions, AMD has now confirmed that it is indeed a conscious choice of architecture.
In the meantime, some test samples have arrived in the laboratory and are just waiting for the test. But it's like the doctor, you always have to come nicely early and then still wait nicely until the sister Helga calls you in. And the order is decided by the Uncle Doctor anyway....
Anyone who thinks that it has become quiet here and that we let ourselves commute a little too comfortably in the heat is wrong. Because you don't see most of what's going on here. And I'm not allowed to write about many things (even) yet. And that with the daily rumour articles, where you quote third parties broadly and long, just to [...]
The three big G, i.e. fidgeting, chuckling and stammering, have an absolute ban on broadcasting on my YouTube channel. Even if a small promise flashes up from time to time, it is still only cut in terms of theme and content, but never in an unfinished sentence. After less than five months, the channel has nevertheless climbed over the tens of [...]
What is really behind the information about Thermal Design Parameter (TDP) or GPU Power and Total Board Power (TBP) and Total Graphics Power (TGP), amD and Nvidia graphics cards, and who adheres to the self-imposed specifications? Here are the answers...
How loud are the fans on the chipset coolers for the new X570 chipset really? This is a question that I have also asked myself and the reason for a deeper research into what is really at stake with the supposed wind machines.
AMD CEO Lisa Su recently announced the new Ryzen 3000 series at Computex 2019, but left a single, official announcement for the Next Horizon Gaming Tech Day in Los Angeles: that of the Ryzen 9 3950X with 16 cores (32 threads) for an EIA of 749 USD. This new processor will hit the shelves in September and there were also other details about the new [...]
AMD has carried out the long-awaited presentation of Navi as part of the E3 and has already explained the most important thing during the event. Nevertheless, some questions remain unanswered, which I will have to clarify in the coming days or weeks. Unfortunately, this also includes AMD’s (new) information policy, not having written [...]
Intel recently had to admit another speculative error in side-channel execution in many processors. The vulnerability affects most of the company’s processor SKUs since 2008, with the exception of the 8th-ranked chips. and 9. Generation to which Intel announced that they would already include hardware implementations against this error. The [...]
We live in a world where security researchers scrutinise many complaints. Supposedly leak-proof cups are thrown around violently, allegedly unbreakable objects are catapulted against walls and supposedly indestructible devices are torn apart by security researchers every day on a trial basis. Some products keep what they promise, but Pen Test [...]
