We recently tested the Arctic P12 PWM, with surprisingly good results. And because many readers have almost urged us to test the RGB version as well, we’ll do just that today. And even now I didn’t want to spoil anything, but the RGB variant in form of the Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGB 0dB [...]

Of course, what I’m doing today is just a first taste of what’s to come later in full glory. But large workloads also take time to prepare, because it’s supposed to add real value. And that’s where I’ll be bringing a larger review, which will then include the usual [...]
In search of the optimal card for my eGPU case I looked for tests for a long time, but unfortunately I could never find anything adequate, where a direct comparison between Radeon and GeForce graphics cards was made as well as one could explain how overclocking affects an eGPU, up to which [...]
As promised in the middle of the week, today we have the honor of reviewing the new Talos memory kit from Acer Predator, who now want to establish themselves in the storage and memory segment of the hardware industry. The bar is set just as high as the demands the brand places on itself. Whether [...]
Just under 28 euros is not cheap, but still significantly cheaper than an ARGB fan from Corsair. Blacknoise advertises the Noiseblocker BP12x-PS-BL PWM ARGB as a particularly quiet running bionic fan, which relies on the proven rotor blade design and a magnetic barometric bearing. The whole rotor [...]
We already had a good air cooler from SPC in the form of the large Grandis 3 in review, the newest member of the compact Fera series should now also perform well. Whether you should give in to the temptingly low price, you will find out in the following article: Packaging and scope of delivery They [...]
SSDs have become an indispensable part of everyday PC life, and the slim NVMe SSDs in the M.2 slot are even more so. With the EXCERIA PLUS, TLC NAND and 5 years warranty, KIOXIA (quasi Toshiba) wants to expand the EXCERIA series upwards and relies mainly on components from its own production. This [...]
Sure, in the price range between 400 and 500 euros there are many offers of open or semi-open systems. so why the Avantone Pro Planar Red and above all, why at this price? Of course, you can sink money into audio products (like cars or pets) with relish, and you’ll never get to the monetary [...]
At the moment it’s fashionable to dip your coolers in black color or alternatively to re-release older models as “Blackout” or “Stealth” edition. And so Scythe now introduces the now seventh variant of the popular Mugen 5, this time fully blacked out. How the Black [...]
One thing we want to do right away: It's not about a self-taught 2.1 system, in which two small howler cubes are to be combined with a thick, big brother. Our intention is to make the subwoofer so discreet and profitable... Interior and loudspeaker chassis If you remove the complete active [...]
Must inexpensive really have been cheap and as a purchase in the end maybe even free? Not at all, if you look at the rather plain-looking Arctic P12 PWM, which manages to bring tears to the eyes of a large part of the significantly more expensive competitors. But I don’t want to anticipate [...]
Again Notebook Weeks at Igor’s Lab? Well, sort of yes and no, but I’ve now had the chance to at least take a longer inventory in direct comparison of two very similar notebooks, the one tested today containing the successor to the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q tested at the time. A notebook [...]
As threatened last week, the Alphacool ice block GPX-N won’t be the only modification to my RTX 3090 Founders Edition. Today we’re going to look at the shunt resistors, the ones the GPU uses to measure how much power it’s consuming and if necessary downclocks itself if [...]
Recently, be quiet! has given its most affordable CPU cooler a successor, which we will take a closer look at in the following article. How much cooler can you get for cheap and it is a good alternative 5 years later? Packaging and scope of delivery The box is, as typical for the manufacturer [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Corsair RM850x W (2021) PSU Review – Suitable gold piece for Rocket Lake and thirsty graphics cards?
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
