I’m a fair person and have long been a lover and buyer of the TDU series, but what Nacon and KT Racing have now delivered as Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown exceeds even the limits of my trained ability to suffer as a Windows user of the very first generation. I waited for the first major patch and the latest server maintenance before [...]

Today we have some standard fare, but it’s not to be sneezed at either. There are now countless mini PCs from NiPoGi and not all of them make sense for the price. However, this model is supposed to be the current “main product”, so let’s take a closer look at the AM02PRO. Packaging and scope of delivery Today we have [...]
It’s ASUS time again. I know that I write a lot about ASUS products. But that’s not because I like ASUS so much, but because ASUS gets in touch with me and allows me to test their products. I’ll come back to this topic at the very end. Now let’s take a look at the ASUS ROG Harpe ACE Aim Lab Edition that I’ve already [...]
Today I have to do it once and I hope Thermal Grizzly will forgive me (well, we’ve already talked about it). But after being asked over and over again how the normal Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut differs from the Kryonaut Extreme and some readers and colleagues even swearing me stone and bone that the Extreme is so much better because the price [...]
Introduction and scope of delivery For as long as I have known keyboards, I have always used keyboards that are 100% full-size. The advantage is obvious to me, because having all the keys in the same position is practically a customary right. It will be all the more exciting to use the SKG50 S20 PBT2, which does not use the 100% layout, but only a [...]
I am one of the first people to have bought the Innovation Cooling IC Diamond 24 for a hefty 20 euros in 2011, with the 24 standing for the 24 carats that were supposedly packed into the 4.8 gram tube as diamond powder. The smaller Diamond 7 with only 1.5 grams in the tube was then, although it was the same paste, rated worse by quite a few [...]
I recently replaced the MSI MEG X670E Ace in my benchtable with the MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi because a new (old) chipset for the Ryzen 9000 feels better and Intel is also releasing a new chipset together with Arrow Lake S into the product cycle. Just between you and me: in terms of performance, this stunt is superfluous, but with USB 4.0 and WiFi [...]
When it comes to the subject of SSDs, you always hear a wide variety of opinions. With or without DRAM? The SLC cache must be large and, above all, an SSD must be able to do everything. From simple office to gaming to total servitude in the workstation sector. The latter in particular places extreme demands on the SSD and this is then reflected in [...]
We have already tested the Alphacool Core 1 in the past and confirmed it as a very good water block in the high-end segment. Now Alphacool has followed up with the Core 1 LT and, as the name suggests, it is a cheaper “light” version. In today’s test, we will find out to what extent LT also means worse. I recommend that you read [...]
After a long break, we finally have a small system from Beelink again and we are starting with a special model. The title already gives it away: the relatively new 12GB SO-DIMM bars are used here. And I’ve never seen an integrated power supply in these tiny computers before – or even thought it possible. So let’s take a look at [...]
Anyone who has ever searched for a paste and been overwhelmed by the range of products on offer, complete with a flourishing data fantasy, knows by now that the supposedly simple business of thermal pastes is flourishing. Of course, sensitized readers now know that the legal regulations also require correct specifications and safety data sheets [...]
Here and there you see teasers of multi-material systems from other providers, so Prusa and Bambu Lab have to make some room in the niche. Anycubic are now the first on the market and are launching their “ACE Pro” together with a new printer. And it remains to be seen whether the top dogs need to be afraid of the new competitors or [...]
Today’s article is based on various investigations in which I came across Thermal Hero products by chance. After more than 60 products, both the Thermal Hero Ultra and the much more expensive Quantum have remained in my memory as negative examples of how cheap products, which were only designed for the brief benchmark moment, can be brought [...]
Admittedly, the headline is a bit sensationalist. But compared to the total thermal failure of the first Era generation, things could only get better. Read on to find out how Fractal Design has transformed the Era 2 into a really good ITX case. With the first Era, Fractal made the fatal mistake of concentrating exclusively on the design of the [...]
The Sharkoon Rebel P20 1200 is an affordable high-power power supply that complies with the latest ATX specifications (v3.1) and can deliver double the power for a short time if required. Reason enough for me to once again let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on our site, as he has not only tested this power supply [...]
I had actually planned to use something other than the EMEET SmartCam S800 to monitor the TIMA5, but after my Logitech C930e webcam had been driving me up the wall since I bought it due to the poor quality of the picture and sound, this time it really was time and I first converted the desktop. Then I thought that was it. But after just one day, I [...]
I had recently tested a current and originally packaged Noctua NT-H2 tube, which was purchased anonymously for me by the community and also rated in an article. This paste performed rather mediocre in the test. Due to many requests, the desired follow-up test is now available with an original paste from 2023 (thanks for sending it!) and two other [...]
Today I can once again show you something particularly interesting – at least in my opinion. This system has already been mentioned several times in the comments, and recently the manufacturer itself got in touch with us. Anyone who has been following my test reports for a while knows that I prefer to host various servers and services myself [...]
When it comes to keyboards, there are various preferences, starting with simple things like with or without cables and ending with the color. For this reason, the ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile in particular is in many places only something for lovers of 65 percent keyboards who can also cope with low profile keycaps. What’s more, this [...]
As I myself often have “back pain” due to my long periods of sitting in the office and laboratory, I am very well sensitized to the Fractal Refine test, as I completely changed my seating two years ago for precisely these painful reasons. Physically painful, because I suffered from shortened muscles due to the constant sitting, and [...]
