In recent years, phase-changing thermal interface materials such as Honeywell’s PTM 7950 have increasingly established themselves as a high-performance alternative to classic thermal pastes – especially where permanent, stable thermal coupling under high mechanical loads is required. Despite their basic user-friendliness, however, the [...]

When it comes to OLED monitors, there are currently two topics that I think everyone is talking about. Firstly, the overrated burn-in risk and secondly, of course, the usually far too high price. The AOC AGON Pro AG276QZD2 could turn out to be a big seller here, as it currently only costs around EUR 530. Some time ago, you paid at least the same [...]
Recently, several current graphics card models in the RTX 5000 series, including the RTX 5080, 5070 (Ti) and 5060 Ti in particular, have shown thermal anomalies in the area of local hotspots on the back of the board in my tests. These affect cards from major board partners such as Palit, PNY and MSI as well as variants from other manufacturers [...]
Introduction and presentation Today I have something from my own collection: the Liberi Custom Keyboard impresses me with its first-class workmanship, clear, minimalist design and very good sound when typing. Here, high-quality technology meets a well thought-out design in which every detail is tailored to functionality and aesthetics. Whether [...]
White components with RGB lighting are all the rage at the moment. And be quiet! is getting in on the act with the Light Loop 360mm White, promising not only a stylish look but also first-class cooling performance. But does this all-in-one water cooling system deliver what it promises? I put it to the test to see whether it has more than just a [...]
NVIDIA is now officially releasing the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti onto the end customer market, which means that the previously theoretical discussions about features, positioning and market strategy are now being put into practice. The classification of this card within the existing portfolio is likely to depend largely on how well it can hold its own [...]
Recently, you were able to catch a first glimpse of this mini PC in the review of the EX docking station, and now, of course, a dedicated article for the GTi13 Ultra will follow. If you want to take another look at the EX Dock, you can find my opinion here: Packaging and scope of delivery We already know the two boxes, but this time it’s [...]
At the end of last year, we took a look at Anycubic’s answer to the popular Bambu Lab A1, so it was only a matter of time before another competitor to the P1S was launched. Because what is being targeted here is obvious in more than one place. So let’s take a look together at what this CoreXY printer has to offer. If you want to read [...]
Update from 12.04.2025 The MCT is now also compatible with RDNA4 (download see below). A different SDK was used in today’s update to avoid incompatibilities with the latest Microsoft update -ADLX 1.4 support -RDNA4 bugfixes -ImageSharpening Sharpen Desktop feature Preliminary note and introduction Since AMD massively restricted the use of [...]
We recently published a detailed review of the Liv Plus Onyx White Wireless. Now it’s time to put its two more compact siblings in the spotlight – in this short article, we’ll take a closer look at them. There are a few differences compared to the Liv Plus. However, there are no differences in terms of appearance, design or [...]
Today’s review of the MSI RTX 5070 Gaming Trio also provides an opportunity for a detailed look at the current market conditions and the specific features of this graphics card. Currently, street prices for the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming Trio in Germany are around €729, although the import tariffs recently introduced by the US government [...]
Today I’m testing the Shin Etsu MicroSi X-23-7921-5 , the MicroSi X-23-7783D and the MicroSi G7762. Once again, my thanks go to the community for the kind procurement. All three pastes are actually not that bad, but they show the typical problem when the manufacturer tries to generate great values. That’s why I’m using the whole [...]
What actually makes a good gaming mouse? Light weight, precision, clear feedback from the buttons, high rigidity and a very fast sensor. It should also sit comfortably in the hand. These characteristics have been combined quite well here and Endorfy shows in a very impressive way how they have implemented these requirements. Unboxing and scope of [...]
As I was also surprised by the high memory temperatures on many (but not all) of the RDNA4 cards I have tested so far and have received various inquiries from readers, this was the trigger for me to take a closer look at the problem. The reason was as trivial as it was surprising, but it is also a good reason to take a closer look at the basics [...]
Raijintek, previously known primarily for cases, cooling solutions and accessories in the PC sector, is expanding its portfolio with a first mechanical keyboard that definitely deserves attention. The device combines a housing made entirely of aluminum with a functional but well thought-out design. Particularly striking are the magnetic switches [...]
Déjà vu: After a long delay, the article on the new Lift Elite Wireless Mouse from NZXT is finally here. I’ve had it on my desk since Christmas and now I’ve finally found the time to put it through its paces. Read on to find out what this lightweight mouse has to offer. This review wasn’t actually planned as a separate article [...]
As part of a reader request, I was given a new PowerColor Radeon RX 9070XT Hellhound for analysis, in which unusually high GPU and hotspot temperatures were observed under load, which suggests an uneven or locally disturbed thermal coupling of the GPU die. Despite proper reapplication of a high-quality PTM pad and additional thermal putty instead [...]
The sample of a new type of boron nitride thermal interface paste that I tested today did not come into my hands in the normal way. Rather, it was once again “leaked” to me in confidence by a long-time reader who, as he indicated in his message, works in the research department of one of the leading international manufacturers of [...]
With the Liquid Freezer III Pro, Arctic is launching a revised version of the popular Liquid Freezer III. In this test, we find out how the PRO version performs and what has changed. The series is intended to offer optimized premium fans and naturally retains unique selling points such as the mainboard VRM fan, the integrated cable management and [...]
Since we recently published a basic article on custom-made keyboards and the response was very positive, it seems to be time to get down to business after so much theory. Today we’re going to be talking about the switch lifting process, and we’ll do the stabilizers next week. So let’s start with the switches. Why do we actually [...]
