Youtuber buildzoid, on his Actually Hardcore Overclocking channel, investigated a Twitter follower’s broken graphics card that had allegedly fallen victim to the new Amazon MMO New World. After a few hours with the graphics card, the experienced hardware guru was already able to diagnose the problem and actually bring it back to life [...]
Gigabyte’s Z590 Aorus Tachyon, unlike many other Rocket Lake XOC (Extreme Overclocking) motherboards, has been available virtually since the platform’s launch, albeit in fairly limited quantities. A 2-DIMM topology optimized for RAM overclocking, ample power supply and OC features en masse are supposed to squeeze out the absolute [...]
No, I’m not an emotionless person and so I can’t sleep peacefully because of a nasty detail in Windows 11, which is not only a senseless hassle for the user by an unworldly design hipster, but which really disturbs the workflow. Meant is the trimmed taskbar without the possibility to really customize it to the requirements. Small icons [...]

With the SanDisk Professional G-Drive SSD 2TB, Western Digital offers a shock-proof and also dust-proof according to IP67 as well as (at least for a short time) protected against accidental submersion, which fits in pretty much every trouser pocket, even if it is quite narrow. Such a thing is called rugged design, so it is a kind of BMX bike among [...]

We already explained that the hardness of pads is enormously important in the practical article “Rescuing a Gainward RTX 2080 Ti Phoenix GS – Replacing thermal pads correctly“. There I refer to the value defined as Shore A, which is based on a standardized measurement procedure. However, the fact is that there are different Shore [...]
I’m always amazed at how much has and is happening in the case fan field lately. With the Scythe Kaze Flex 120 ARGB one sends nowmahe also in this country an illuminated bolide into the race, which is to appear emphatic and determined, however not too loudly. The fact that it also illuminates the waste heat in a nice colourful way is a nice [...]
Even if time is extremely short, I’m happy to help the community once in a while, because this case seemed almost unsolvable for the user. During the deconstruction of a Gainward RTX 2080 Ti Phoenix GS pretty much everything went wrong that could go wrong to end up with GPU temperatures of over 90 °C (hotspot 110 °C) again and again, even [...]
The latest high-resolution images of an engineering sample of the Intel Core i9-12900K have now been leaked by Yuuki_AnS. The leaker obtained this chip, which was sold on the Chinese black market for a starting price of $700. These images give us a slightly better impression of the Intel Core i9-12900K as “ES2” (Engineering Sample 2) [...]
What does an animal do when it finds itself cornered? It bites wildly. And a larger company? It secures the supposed silverware, initiates a wave of warnings and lawsuits in order to be able to derive the greatest possible benefit from (still) valid patents. We’ll see exactly how and against whom the company is taking action (including an [...]
After many attempts with various pads, I have once again taken up the subject of liquid metal pads. Because if you use it right, it’s a really smart thing. But the (supposed) hurdles are so high that at least one generation of PC builders might already have despaired of them. So at least without any real instructions on how to actually [...]

Looks like somebody had it pretty quick. The Portuguese retailer PCDIGA couldn’t wait for the launch of the smallest AMD graphics card with a RDNA2 chip so far, which is rumored for October 13, 2021. My thanks go to the colleagues at videocardz.com for finding it, from whom I also “stole” the idea of the slider. Because the new [...]

Intel is looking to be in the final stages of bringing the first generation of Arc graphics to market and so it is also obvious to find a nomenclature is the correct order. Because every kid needs his name, even if things like Alchemist aXXX, Battle Mage bXXX and Celestial cXXX do seem a bit thick. But there’s definitely something figurative [...]
As CPUs become faster and faster, the main memory must be able to keep up with the volume of data to not become a bottleneck. For the same reason, the upcoming generation of Intel CPUs will also rely on the new DDR5 standard, which is supposed to bring more bandwidth through higher clock speed and at the expense of latency compared to DDR4. With [...]
The hallmark of the fairly inexpensive but truly recommendable Gelid GC Extreme was a slightly more viscous but very performant paste in a yellow-green labeled syringe and with a spatula that helped with spreading and made more than one generation of PC hobbyists happy. But we know it: Gelid is not a manufacturer, but a pure bottler. The advantage [...]
