Case fans are a dime a dozen, but which fan fits which system? Is a model suitable as a case fan and how does it really perform on different radiators? What about the real speed range, how high is the start-up speed and what parameters does such a fan offer over the speed range, including the usually unavoidable noise emission? Exactly for all [...]
After the first versions with the new Navi21 XTXH chip appeared on the market, i.e. specially binned chips, there is also a new device ID in circulation, which we have now included in version 1.3.4 of the MorePowerTool. You need more power? Enjoy! Have fun with my overclocking and tweaking, the MPT team wishes you! RED BIOS EDITOR and [...]
As I could learn from meanwhile three contacts at the manufacturers and suppliers unanimously, the so-called Qualified Samples (QS) differ again from the now delivered chips for mass production (MP). So, as correctly reported yesterday, the GA102 will become the GA102-202 or GA102-302. The beta driver 470.05, which is so interesting for the miners [...]
After almost three years in production, Corsair has finally decided to update its popular RMx line to better suit the needs of today’s graphics hardware. There are again five models with capacities ranging from 550 W to 1000 W. All are fully modular and the OEM is still Channel Well Technology, as before. And since I’m not always just [...]
Driven by your own beta driver? NVIDIA had, after all, started adding ETH mining constraints to its Ampere ecosystem of hardware, firmware, and drivers with the GeForce RTX 3060. It should be insurmountable like the Berlin Wall. Well, yes, but their end is also well known. NVIDIA had torn down their own wall right away, because they accidentally [...]
If you were able to purchase an RTX 3090 Founders Edition (FE) at launch for MSRP like I was, you can’t really complain. Ample performance for 144 FPS in most games even at the highest graphics settings and, if we’re being honest, the value increase of over 50%, naturally add to the appreciation. Only, as is so often the case, there [...]
After the 612 Stealth recently had to prove itself on the testbench, the big brother now follows. Find out how the block does in the article below: Packaging and scope of delivery The box is similar to the smaller cooler down to the last detail, but it is much bigger. A large product picture on the front is complemented by an exploded view with [...]
We already know since my launch article “Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, Core i5-11600K and Core i9-10900K against Zen3 – Last man standing in silicon” that Intel’s 11th generation doesn’t act particularly squeamish at the power supply. But also not detailed enough, because there was one thing I couldn’t [...]
After the K70 RGB TKL already had to prove itself in the test, it’s now the turn of the second member of the new Champion series from Corsair. The following article will tell you how the mouse, which was developed together with professional eSportsmen, performs. Packaging and scope of delivery The box looks like any other outer box from [...]
At the moment the last series of measurements for this very complex article are still in progress, which I will be able to present to you tomorrow (and which I have completely underestimated in terms of scope). Because that Intel’s 11. We already know since my launch article “Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, Core i5-11600K and [...]
My colleague Usman Pirzada from WCCFTECH noticed something interesting while writing an article about the GTC 2021 announcement, because the wording of the blog post seemed a bit too ominous to him. That’s because when he took a closer look at the flashing lights in the tweet, he realized there was a Morse code message embedded in it. So it [...]
When it comes to the topic of latency, you often hear/read that adaptive sync technologies are supposed to have a negative impact on latency. Hmm? If you try to explain it to yourself, it could well be. Let’s say you have a 144 Hz monitor with FreeSync or G-SYNC and you’re beaming it at 300 FPS. Which, yes, means that sync technologies [...]
And again Corsair releases new peripherals, even a completely new series. Under the name “Champion Series” you can find a new mouse and keyboard, which were tested and developed together with eSportsmen. Today we’ll first look at the keyboard, the mouse will follow shortly. Packaging and scope of delivery The box looks like any [...]
The same applies as already in the review of the model for the GeForce RTX 3080 reference: The market of all-in-one water cooling solutions for graphics cards is, compared to CPU coolers, still plenty manageable, although the possible gain compared to air cooling is significantly higher. Higher boost steps and lower operating noise are only part [...]
Despite the rather bumpy start with problems with the pump in the first generation, be quiet! not discouraged to once again establish its own AiO water cooling. So now they are launching a new, hopefully improved successor. And even though the longevity cannot be tested in a review, we will of course take a closer look at the new complete water [...]
The lack of things never ceases. Products that come from TSMC, such as GPUs and CPUs from AMD, have been in plenty of short supply for some time now (with a few exceptions). Intel CPUs manufactured in their own foundries were quite available from launch (at least some models) and CPU prices were actually also pleasingly affordable. My colleague [...]
The polish developer studio “People Can Fly” has released the PvE Looter-Shooter “Outriders” and combines quite clever single player and co-op content for up to three players with the possibility to switch back and forth in the game quite seamlessly. There are four quite different classes and of course lots of things to [...]
At MyDrivers, it has been reported that customs authorities in Hong Kong have seized a total of 300 custom-built NVIDIA mining graphics cards. The graphics cards are marked as contraband units and were allegedly destined for Chinese mining farms. To that end, however, it’s also important to note that China still has a ban against [...]
The Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360 Sub-Zero is of course not a real cryo-cooling for really high loads, they don’t pretend to be, but it wants to guarantee such low temperatures in the partial load range that the highest possible boost clock rates can be run. That’s exactly what I tried to find out in a short test, because especially [...]
Meanwhile, more and more specifications for AMD’s Ryzen 5000G Cezanne ‘Zen 3’ desktop APUs have also leaked out and a total of three upcoming models seem to be confirmed in the process. The AMD Ryzen 5000G family will be the direct replacement for the Zen 2.based Ryzen 4000G Renoir family, which was introduced last year for the [...]
