In an era where new PC games often consume more resources than a black hole consumes its neighborhood, the PC port of “Horizon Forbidden West” shines like a Gallic village in a world occupied by Roman legions – unbending, unshakable and sturdy as an oak tree. Meanwhile, elsewhere, the latest blockbusters, led by [...]

I think it will become clear on the next page at the latest what the title alludes to here. But so that the search engine crawlers don’t get the wrong impression of the content of the article and the manufacturer’s designers aren’t offended, you’ll have to come up with the answer yourself. Of course, that doesn’t stop [...]
At the beginning of the year, we already tested a “Max” case from Cooler Master here, but at that time for compact systems with an ITX mainboard. Today, another case follows with the same partially-prepared approach, but for ATX. This is not really my form factor, but our case specialist Alexander needs some time off and my test of the [...]
With the new edition of the tower series in the old classic vertical case design, Thermaltake has come up with a beautifully designed octagonal prism shape and gives the case a new shine and various color variations. Starting at a fair €140 (depending on the color), it also offers plenty of space for hardware and rounds off the concept with a 3 [...]
Today we take a look at a small system from one of the established manufacturers, as they have not missed out on the growing niche market either. According to the manufacturer, the ExpertCenter series are “business desktops from the ExpertCenter series offer extreme reliability”. So let’s take a look at what else is on offer. The [...]
I’ve now reached part three and it’s time to briefly summarize the first two articles and, above all, to evaluate the reactions of the manufacturers, or rather their silence. As the case may be. Today’s test is about Radicooler (Qingdao YTeng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.) and Magicool (Qingdao Magicool Electronic Technology Co [...]
The big question that many people are asking themselves: Is it still worth buying an ATX v3.0 power supply now? Recently, everyone has been asking me why they should still buy an ATX v3.0 power supply when the ATX v3.1 specification has long been on the market. However, this is also because very few people even understand that the main difference [...]
It’s clear to everyone that, for the most part, a laptop doesn’t come close to a desktop PC. This is particularly noticeable when you want to play games or use more powerful applications. Here you can clearly see that performance and quality are already limited. A gaming laptop can help, but even here there are severe limitations in [...]
After a long delay, the article on the new mice from NZXT is finally here. I teased them some time ago and have now finally found the time. Read on to find out what the two lightweight mice have to offer. This review wasn’t actually planned as a separate article, but as is the case when I really get to grips with a product, there was [...]
After all the reviews of various models of the GeForce RTX 4070 Super, today I have the PNY RTX 4070 SUPER Verto OC Dual Fan 12GB, currently the cheapest RTX 4070 Super OC card for you in the test, whose street price is currently at 598 euros, but has also been found significantly below that in the past. As the GeForce RTX 4070 Super is selling [...]
Of course, we remember my last measurements on the radiators and the respective material analyses, some of which showed different things than the customer (or manufacturer) actually expected. Apart from the fact that alloys are often not 100% homogeneous, major deviations should of course not occur. Yes, trace elements below one wt% are more of a [...]
Today I am testing the second native 90° angle cable and, I can already spoil it, I have nothing to complain about. Because when the power supply cable collides with the side of the case, good advice is often expensive. Especially afterwards, when NVIDIA’s adapter has fused inextricably with the graphics card’s header. Seasonic now [...]
Towards the end of last year, we raffled off a very early Christmas present together with Caseking, which found its lucky winner after some delivery problems. He was kind enough to share his own impressions with us, which we will of course not withhold from you. So here’s the corresponding reader test today, enjoy! Jonsbo N2 NAS enclosure in [...]
Deepcool is launching the new Morpheus case onto the market with a completely new concept. Deepcool confidently advertises a fully modular PC case that can be adapted to any situation from the ground up. This case really scored points with me, as it allows you to install either a single-chamber system or a dual-chamber system in the case. Will the [...]
With the PNY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER XLR8 Gaming Verto Epic-X RGB Overclocked Triple Fan 16GB (the full name), the cooler seems even longer than the name, but it is still a nice exercise in concentration. I have also tested this card separately because it is the best proof of how you can get significantly more clock speed for free with good [...]
After we recently had several mini PCs with a similar housing, this appears to be a slightly newer and improved version with a very similar design. The following test report will tell you what else there is to discover. Pre-installed malware was recently found on systems from this manufacturer, read more here: Packaging and scope of delivery The [...]
In August last year, I already tested the most affordable member of the new Neptune 4 series from Elegoo here without any name additions, today we are moving to the exact opposite side of the spectrum. The “Max” version offers a gigantic 420 x 420 x 480 mm print volume and is still supposed to be equipped with all the advantages of the [...]
The big Radiator Material Test: Even more lead, a popular hiding place and 2.5 bright spots | Part 2
Even though there are only four radiators today, I spent quite a lot of time finding the right places where some manufacturers still like to use unauthorized substances such as lead – always hoping that nobody will find them anyway. At the same time, I have my sights set on an OEM for the next part that can even do both: work cleanly and [...]
Just over a year after the release of the extremely popular NORTH case with the attractive front cover in wood decor, FRACTAL DESIGN is now sending a much-requested XL version, in which high-end systems and water circuits should not feel so cramped. Read our test to find out how the big brother performs in everyday use. When Fractal Design [...]
We have been testing various mini PCs and barebones for quite some time now, but a model from the manufacturer that practically invented and popularized this segment has been missing until now. We’re making up for that today and can say goodbye in the same breath, because there will be no more “original” Intel NUCs. At least they [...]
