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 [...]
Yesterday the time had finally come and the first new BIOS versions with support for the extended address space went online. Now you can call it Resizeable BAR, SAM (Smart Access Memory), extended/large memory area or whatever, the system is always the same. This is nothing else than the clever handling of the Base Address Register (BAR) and [...]
The Realtek ALC4080, which was launched in 2020, can now be found as a sound solution on many new mid-range and high-end Intel boards without the customer really knowing what’s behind it. Exactly that I would like to change today gladly and have a suitable data sheet from a mainboard developer procured. The ALC4080 breaks with the long [...]
Intel’s new 11th generation CPUs have been available for purchase for a few weeks now, albeit only recently officially. And so I also got hold of an i7 11700K and took a look at what innovations we can expect with the new generation, especially with regard to RAM tuning and overclocking. Unfortunately, I couldn’t present any reliable [...]
Now the time has finally come and the other CPUs of the 11th generation may also tested and the results published. I also deliberately decided against an early release of the Core i7-11700K, which is already available in stores, because only in direct comparison and with the micro code for a new BIOS, which was only added a few days ago, will it [...]
Corsair’s mouse assortment has grown considerably in the last few years, practically in every price range and for every target group they have something on offer. In the midfield we now added another model especially for players with claw and fingertip grip, which we take a closer look at in the following article: Packaging and scope of [...]
Tomorrow afternoon I will finally publish a review of Intel’s latest CPU generation. However, the question of which high-end GPU I should use for the tests for the launch article arose beforehand. Since I wanted to test all four resolutions, i.e. from Ultra-HD down to 720p, I had to consider if and where a possible driver overhead could [...]
After my last article about testing various thermal paste substitutes, I received some interesting feedback and even submissions from my readers, which I will gladly work through in chronological order. Besides great industrial pastes I first received a letter with copper paste and the request to test it. Why not? Copper is not the worst material [...]
