After the hot autumn of 2020 and the now almost seemingly eternal graphics card thirst, we have in the meantime also learned many new terms and various hardships. If you’re not into SM games, i.e. scalpers & mining, it’s really hard to realize your dream of a new, super-fast pixel slingshot in a reasonable frame at the moment. And [...]
In the course of a soon to be released crossover project of my two hobbies hardware and 3D printing MSI kindly provided me with this board. And even though mainboards are not really my area, I took a closer look at it within my possibilities.

Since our readers have repeatedly requested the tests as push, pull and push-pull variants, we simply combine today’s re-test of an upper-class fan with this request.

Much has been written about the game, so I don’t need to go into extreme detail again. And even though it’s actually a console port, the game is already from 2019 and used to be PS4 exclusive – the PC gets to show what it can do again here (and the player all the more). Deacon St. John as the main character is the likeable anti [...]
Having assembled quite a few PCs already, I’ve always wanted to build a mini-I-X system for everyday use. So it came as a call that my work colleague asked me for a new PC, well, the help to build him something tailor-made. After a short information gathering regarding the application of the PC as well as the budget, it was only a few mouse [...]
If anyone is wondering why my output is currently a bit lower than usual, I can reassure them. I’m fit as a fiddle, but my input has gone way up for this. New graphics cards, a new half-year update of Windows 10, many game patches and new drivers once again make a complete reboot necessary. More DXR for all, optimized settings and logically [...]

In the first part of my review, I took a look at the XMG Ultra 17 barebone inside, the whole thing powered by an Intel Core i9-11900K. assembled and really stressed out. Today we have the missing gaming benchmarks, a few applications and the efficiency review of the GeForce 3080 laptop, which has a (positive) surprise in store. Considering all the [...]

How, pray tell, does one write a review of something that is (almost) unavailable for purchase? Or you were lucky and/or had a somewhat bulging war chest and got one of the KFA RTX 3060 EX. Exactly for such rare moments of happiness in the gamer’s life I wrote this review today, because you should already know if you can also be happy with a [...]
Last time I had the new powerhouses from Cooler Master with almost gigantic dimensions in the test, today the exact opposite. Whether a cooler with just 39mm total height is sufficient for a modern mid-range CPU, you can find out in the following article.

The production is [...]
Mass Effect is one of those things, it can get personal pretty quickly if you like the genre and remember the fondly sacrificed nights in 2007, 2010 and 2012. I even pulled out the original first part last year and played it on my retro PC. However, I quickly gave it up again, because the real feeling from back then just wouldn’t come back [...]
