The Radeon RX 7900XTX and the Radeon RX 7900XT are supposed to fix it for AMD in December and leave the good “old” Ada standing in the corner in shame. At least one hopes so. If, how and why, you will of course find out soon and in due time, because today is first of all the big weighing of the fighters and the obligatory meat [...]
For this review, I would have loved to organize a couple of exquisite old wing chairs and a bottle of the finest single malt, because the new FRACTAL DESIGN North gives off a real whisky lounge feeling. Whether the North can also convince functionally, or whether it is a blender, you can read in the test. After Fractal had already launched a few [...]
After more than 7 years, Fractal Design gives the Node 202 a new coat of paint and modernizes the case according to the changed requirements. We’ll take a closer look at what else has changed besides the new exterior and how the cooling looks in the following article. Packaging and scope of delivery The case is delivered in a plain brown [...]
While AMD has already shown the reference cards of their Radeon RX 7900XT(X) several times and also confirmed the launch date for the 13th of December 2022, you might have to put a question mark behind the real models and quantities available on this day. While some sources speculate with only 10,000 reference cards each for EMEA and [...]
The name GODLIKE has stood for the absolute high-end motherboard at MSI for several generations now, a halo product with all the features you could want, disregarding all common sense. Thanks to MSI, we are one of the first publications to take a look at the flagship Z790 board and determine the benchmark to beat for upcoming tests of Raptor Lake [...]
I was skeptical as always, but this time I was proven wrong. If you leave aside the artificial, gaudy comic art, Criterion has finally managed not to create what feels like the tenth rehash of a Forza Burnout Need for Speed Paradise Horizon. Well, a few obligatory destruction orgies are on board again and you have a déjà vu every now and then, but [...]
This is only the second time in almost 4 years that we have had to withdraw the award from an article. As much as we dislike doing such things, in the end it is always a matter of decency and respect for our readers to implement and explain such things. The item has an MSRP of 183 Euros, which is not justified by anything, and is also only sold [...]
Yesterday I had contact again with the PCI SIG regarding the deliberate plug, but in the end I only got a kind of text module as the only official statement, which is already known in parts. They did not want to (or could not) tell me more at the current time. The fact is, however, that the PCI SIG sees itself merely as a standardization body and [...]
A good half year ago, we already had the normal variant of this cooler in review, and now another model in completely black coloring and a second fan follows. First, a question on my part: Should not “Zero Dark” actually be a completely white version of this cooler? We might not find the answer to that today, but at least I can test [...]
First of all, we need to separate the terms and standards before we should even think about buying a new ATX 3.0 power supply. And to bring it right at the beginning times to the point: Panic buying is completely out of place and more or less intentional marketing! Or to put it more casually: in principle, no one needs the whole thing yet [...]
The Edifier MS50A tested today already seems a bit anachronistic. In the meantime, the Bluetooth speaker offers are overflowing and every provider wants to be even smarter than the others. And then Edifier comes snotty with a very conservative-looking, textile-covered walnut box and brazenly refuses the trend of smart listening furniture. What [...]
Since the launch of NVIDIA’s top ADA models and the tiresome wrangling over the 12VHPWR connection, many enthusiasts are looking for potent power supplies according to the new ATX 3.0 standard. Thermaltake offers a real ATX v3.0 power supply with Toughpower GF3 1200W, which could be a serious alternative for many owners of a GeForce RTX 4090 [...]
In today’s workvlog I show you again a themed build, but this time the whole thing is kept a bit more simple and should animate something that you can create a real eye-catcher even without an elaborate custom loop water cooling. The only prerequisite you need is some creativity and a bright idea. Who knows my builds, also knows that I [...]
Text modules back and forth, you can already give yourself a little effort. Especially if the customer has purchased the premium product from the Nvidia store
Even though many enthusiasts are currently looking for potent power supplies according to the new ATX 3.0 standard (and hardly find anything on the market) after the launch of NVIDIA’s ADA top models and the tiresome wrangling about the 12VHPWR connector, the Corsair HX1500i together with the additionally offered cable including the 12-4-pin [...]
We really didn’t make it easy for ourselves with the test of the Corsair AF Elite Series AF140 Elite and even tested the white and the black fan several times. I have to state that the measured values do not match the data sheet on the homepage or the data printed on the packaging in any way, which had to influence our rating in the end. We [...]

You don’t always have to test high-end audio when it comes to reviews for a clearly defined target group, which today is very young for a change. Because if it’s not the squeaky-colorful plastic clutter for the group between 3 and 12 years, then you can even do the ears of the kids and the environment a favor. With Kidz Audio’s [...]
Fast, quiet, cool and efficient don’t have to be mutually exclusive since the launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 16GB, and the MSI RTX 4080 SUPRIM X 16GB is no different. Unfortunately, it is also more, namely currently far too expensive. Even if the ex-factory selling price is already not squeamish, retailers tend to shift the value chain [...]
What do you do if a competitive athlete is too good? You tip him a little bit into the tea or steal his laces. For graphics cards such as the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, the manufacturer still has the BIOS to prevent unwanted results. But the plan doesn’t quite work out this time, because somehow pretty much everything that could have gone wrong [...]
