Every year again, or what was that? Yes, I also like to take a look at a case and assemble a PC. And because you don’t want to get the big catapult out financially, I deliberately look at inexpensive parts. That’s why today I have the Sharkoon Rebel C50, which I also requested as a sample. And then two boxes arrived at once. As [...]

With this review of the Edifier MR4 Studio Monitor, I’m fulfilling the wishes of those who have repeatedly asked. With prices currently under 100 euros, you can’t really go wrong as long as the user profile is right, because they are anything but gimmicky roaring cubes or colorful plastic tubes with childish LED pacifiers. Minimalism [...]
I got the obvious out of the way right from the title, so we can concentrate fully on the essentials … mostly. Because with this self-proclaimed NAS and router, this previously unknown manufacturer has brought something really interesting to the market. So let’s take a look together at what this little guy has to offer. Packaging and [...]
Many manufacturers have been experimenting with the Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pad and graphene pads on graphics cards for some time now. With good success, as AMD board partners in particular (and AMD on the MBA cards) or MSI prove. Paste or no paste, the load on graphics cards in particular is far too heavy a burden for many normal pastes in the [...]
The Blackview Hero 10 is a smartphone that is characterized by its robust design and functional hardware at an acceptable price. And a big mouth. In this review, we look at various aspects of the device, including design, display, performance, camera, software, battery life and more. In this case, clamshell doesn’t mean rickety, as a small [...]
I have been and continue to be confronted with graphics cards from my readers whose initially good cooling performance dwindles after just a few months and whose hotspot temperatures are then well above the 100 degree mark. I have already published several articles on this topic, dealing with the symptoms and repair, but now I finally have the [...]
Today I’m testing two pastes from Thermal Grizzly. The Kryonaut, which has been following us around for almost 10 years and feels like it’s stuck between every second CPU and its cooler in the forums, and a new paste as a “secret” pre-series product, which will be on the market in around three months. I have already tested [...]
With the TC500 LUXE, Corsair aims to close the wide gap between gaming chairs with a racing seat design and expensive high-end office chairs. During the design process, the focus was on comfort and flexibility and you can read in the test whether the chair covered in breathable fabric can do more than just be comfortable. While Corsair’s [...]
After Geekom recently delighted us with great hardware but also made us a little remorseful with limiting cases, the next generation of small systems looks more promising again. The aluminum all around has been retained, but the fan is no longer suffocating due to the lack of air inlets. So let’s take a look together at what the XT13 Pro has [...]
The Corsair XTM70 Extreme Performance is convincing and even if the price is quite hefty even without iCUE, you still get an honest product. That’s a little spoiler in advance, even if the price really hurts me. At almost 17 euros for 3 grams, you have almost reached the gourmet temple and real caviar almost seems like an alternative bargain [...]
The NZXT C1500 is a powerful and high-performance power supply that can deliver up to 3000W of power for short periods of time if required. With the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 5090, you are definitely on the safe side with a 1500W ATX v3.1 compliant power supply. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and [...]
The Thermalright TF8 is actually more than just an insider’s tip, especially as this outstandingly performing paste is currently almost unbeatably cheap at just 5 euros in a 2-gram pack. Today you can find out how and why this paste is, in my opinion, almost the maximum of what is technically feasible. Of course, there is always some shadow [...]
Six months have now passed and Samsung has already carried out several firmware (FW) updates since then. My main criticism was that the Odyssey OLED G8 could only develop its full HDR potential – the 1000 nits peak – with an NVIDIA GPU. Despite a FreeSync Premium Pro certification. The FW updates released in the meantime have basically [...]
In the meantime, I have already presented various of these small systems with N-series processors here, so there are really no more big surprises. That’s why I decided not to test any more mini PCs of this type unless they have something special to offer. And I think it’s obvious why I said yes to this model. So let’s see [...]
I actually didn’t want to test the PCGH Gear Carbonite Ultra at the beginning, because it is always difficult to objectively evaluate products from colleagues. Not because I lack objectivity, but because third parties are quick to assume the opposite. It doesn’t matter whether the result is good or bad, there is always a reason to [...]
We recently tested two visually appealing mini systems from the Geekom brand. According to the comments, you also liked the elegant aluminum housing, although it doesn’t only offer advantages. Both times an AMD processor was used, but with the GT13 Pro this changes today. So let’s take a look together at what this gray version has to [...]
This time it really is the mysterious “Gaming Paste A” from the basic article and so today we are also solving the mystery surrounding the Arctic MX-6. And as a spoiler: Arctic pushes the self-imposed performance envelope to the max and is the most “thermally conductive” paste in the test so far. You can read later in the [...]
After our previous water block retest, which hopefully dispelled some untruths and rumors, here is the second part with a few improvements and implemented change suggestions from the community. Corsair has also asked us to test the successor to the XC7 Pro, the XC7 Elite LCD – and we’re happy to oblige. As a reference, I would [...]
Since we have been focusing almost exclusively on OLED monitors recently, a change is just what we needed. The KTC H27P22S is a classic LCD monitor – with a UHD panel – that boasts a resolution of 3840 x 2160p and a refresh rate of 160 Hz. The Fast IPS panel (from AU-Optronics) comes without any dimming, which makes HDR a real problem [...]
No, the mysterious “Gaming Paste A” from the basic article is not the KINGPIN Cooling KPx, I’ll solve that mystery next time. And where some manufacturers give too much data, there are no official data sheets for this paste at all. The paste, especially the supporting matrix, was developed for use with liquid nitrogen and is [...]
