After we last looked at two Ultrawide monitors, we now return to the 16:9 format. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ-W takes on the test marathon. Another ROG-branded gaming monitor as far as the eye can see. The monitor comes with a resolution of 2560 x [...]

Today I’m testing the Alphacool Aurora Acryl GPX-N RTX 4090 FE Eisblock, the third water block for NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line model, and the picture is getting more and more solidified as to which cooler design is really good and usable [...]
Both the Roccat Vulcan II Max and the Roccat Kone XP Air are not new, but somehow they are a bit different. Of course, this first raises the serious question of the sense or nonsense of a review long time after the release, long after the usual [...]
Today we are going to round two with the EK Quantum Vector2 FE RTX 4090 D-RGB. A GeForce RTX 4090 FE is per se well cooled and the original cooler is actually also perfectly sufficient. So one would hardly have a valid reason as a buyer to [...]
Today is finally the day – loyal readers won’t be surprised by this –, for Intel’s last and fastest LGA1700 CPU we also have binning data for you once more. Thanks to MIFCOM, we were able to run almost 200 chips through our testing [...]
Today follows the last part of this little hobby project, but the end comes with a bang (metaphorically): Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM and a proud 32TB of storage. I had already teased the slightly extended version of the normal NAS, now it can finally show [...]
No, it is not a contradiction, but transparent plastic tube (usually PVC) is cheap to buy, but really expensive in follow-up costs. Who can, prefer to go for hard tubing or such nice things as EPDM or Teflon, but there are also situations where you [...]
Groundhog day, again and again. Today, I’m pushing up a classic review for you to enjoy on a cold winter Sunday, and it was a very interesting experiment. Already 12 years ago I had tested various things up to the adhesive cream for the third [...]
After a longer abstinence here, at least with the articles, I am now back with a small Intel ARC special. The cards have a niche existence, which is on the one hand due to the rather poor availability, especially of custom models, but also due to [...]
Last year, we already had an Ultrawide monitor in my test. And, because that was so nice, I thought, let’s do another one right away. BenQ sends the Mobiuz EX3415R into the race to acquire the customers’ favor. A 34 inch monitor with a [...]
Although my topic has been preached by the old hands in the PC field in forums for decades and is often the approach of any solution to performance problems, the same questions keep popping up from less experienced users. I hope to reach them with [...]
The Raijintek Morpheus is currently still the most popular and above all also the most potent air cooler for graphics cards, but the compatibility was somewhat behind the current graphics card generations from NVIDIA and AMD. I got myself a final [...]
In the AiO water cooling category, Alphacool recently took first place in terms of cooling performance with its “Aurora HPE” series, partly thanks to the more expensive copper radiator. However, the “Core” series does not [...]
With the MP600 GS, Corsair rounds off the SSD portfolio in the solid mid-range as well and meanwhile also benefits a bit from the price drop. Starting at around 10 cents per GB, the price is now just under 8 cents. Corsair offers a somewhat more [...]
The last AiO water cooler we tested here from EK was from the “Basic” series and came entirely without lighting. However, it is not possible to do without RGB completely, because the new “Nucleus” series brings RGB back to [...]
Before I mention more numbers about the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and the cooler problem, as well as a few words about the supply chain and its failure in quality management, we also have to talk about quality management in general and quality assurance as [...]
AMD releases the new Zen 4 CPUs without X in the name today. Of course, I was able to test the CPUs in the form of the Ryzen 9 7900 and Ryzen 5 7600 in advance and also added the respective X models freshly. Even though these new CPUs might look [...]
How a jack-of-all-trades cherishes retro culture: visiting igor’sLAB in the Nerd Niche (with raffle)
There are certainly many stories that life writes. One of them: My wife approached me a few days ago with the wish that she would like to have a Gameboy Advance again. Of course, I am immediately on fire with such projects, because I myself love the [...]
Today for the weekend we have some light food. A few weeks ago, I switched my testing software – for my monitor tests – from DisplayCal to Portrait Displays Calman Ultimate. I had written a dedicated article on this and afterwards there [...]
Towards the end of last year, we first had the 280mm variant of this AiO water cooler in review, and now the manufacturer asked me to also include the version with a 360mm radiator in the rankings. Recently, a decent overall package of cooling [...]
