Reviews of so-called “gaming chairs” always cause heated discussions. Arguments such as: “These chairs are not ergonomic”, “not good for the back”, “poorly processed” followed by a wide variety of opinions and recommendations are preprogrammed there. More and more recently, the Recaro Rae has been [...]

With the Seasonic MagFlow 120 mm, Seasonic wants to reorient the market a little bit. Simple, high-performance and above all RGB-free, and the most important feature is a magnetically clickable daisy chain without superfluous cable assembly. Lian Li, we are coming (now too)! Click & Run for even more fun? Of course, acceptance will show [...]
I admit, I’m plenty pissed off. Why, that is actually also quickly explained. I oute myself today once as a private headphone collector and all the parts that I do not actively use or have ready, go together and in best harmony in the original packaging in my warehouse. I should note that this room also houses headphones in the four-digit [...]
Yesterday we already had the launch article about AMD’s reference cards of the Radeon RX 7900XT and Radeon RX 7900XT. Since everything is currently a bit too crowded and heaped, I don’t want to let today’s launch of the board partner cards fall under the table, of course, but I also have to really set priorities in terms of [...]
AMD launch was yesterday! Today’s topic is HDR (High Dynamic Range). Monitors with corresponding hardware in the form of Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) in combination with an IPS or VA panel have been around for a long time, but they are still quite expensive and only a stopgap solution in my opinion. The KTC (Key to Combat) G42P5, in turn [...]
The time has finally come and after a lot of theory and unboxing in the run-up, we can finally test what the new Radeon RX 7900XTX and RX 7900XT can really do and where there might even be further potential. I assume that AMD was also somewhat surprised by the good performance of the GeForce RTX 4090 and later also the RTX 4080. Just like many of [...]
A while ago, we at ECS Elitegroup had a look at the smallest mini-PC in our tests to date, and today we are going in the exact opposite direction. With a socket for an LGA1700 processor and support for DDR4, a lot of performance should be possible in a small space. We’ll take a look at exactly how this was implemented in the article below. [...]
For this review, I would have loved to organize a couple of exquisite old wing chairs and a bottle of the finest single malt, because the new FRACTAL DESIGN North gives off a real whisky lounge feeling. Whether the North can also convince functionally, or whether it is a blender, you can read in the test. After Fractal had already launched a few [...]
After more than 7 years, Fractal Design gives the Node 202 a new coat of paint and modernizes the case according to the changed requirements. We’ll take a closer look at what else has changed besides the new exterior and how the cooling looks in the following article. Packaging and scope of delivery The case is delivered in a plain brown [...]
The name GODLIKE has stood for the absolute high-end motherboard at MSI for several generations now, a halo product with all the features you could want, disregarding all common sense. Thanks to MSI, we are one of the first publications to take a look at the flagship Z790 board and determine the benchmark to beat for upcoming tests of Raptor Lake [...]
I was skeptical as always, but this time I was proven wrong. If you leave aside the artificial, gaudy comic art, Criterion has finally managed not to create what feels like the tenth rehash of a Forza Burnout Need for Speed Paradise Horizon. Well, a few obligatory destruction orgies are on board again and you have a déjà vu every now and then, but [...]
A good half year ago, we already had the normal variant of this cooler in review, and now another model in completely black coloring and a second fan follows. First, a question on my part: Should not “Zero Dark” actually be a completely white version of this cooler? We might not find the answer to that today, but at least I can test [...]
The Edifier MS50A tested today already seems a bit anachronistic. In the meantime, the Bluetooth speaker offers are overflowing and every provider wants to be even smarter than the others. And then Edifier comes snotty with a very conservative-looking, textile-covered walnut box and brazenly refuses the trend of smart listening furniture. What [...]
Since the launch of NVIDIA’s top ADA models and the tiresome wrangling over the 12VHPWR connection, many enthusiasts are looking for potent power supplies according to the new ATX 3.0 standard. Thermaltake offers a real ATX v3.0 power supply with Toughpower GF3 1200W, which could be a serious alternative for many owners of a GeForce RTX 4090 [...]
In today’s workvlog I show you again a themed build, but this time the whole thing is kept a bit more simple and should animate something that you can create a real eye-catcher even without an elaborate custom loop water cooling. The only prerequisite you need is some creativity and a bright idea. Who knows my builds, also knows that I [...]
Even though many enthusiasts are currently looking for potent power supplies according to the new ATX 3.0 standard (and hardly find anything on the market) after the launch of NVIDIA’s ADA top models and the tiresome wrangling about the 12VHPWR connector, the Corsair HX1500i together with the additionally offered cable including the 12-4-pin [...]
We really didn’t make it easy for ourselves with the test of the Corsair AF Elite Series AF140 Elite and even tested the white and the black fan several times. I have to state that the measured values do not match the data sheet on the homepage or the data printed on the packaging in any way, which had to influence our rating in the end. We [...]

You don’t always have to test high-end audio when it comes to reviews for a clearly defined target group, which today is very young for a change. Because if it’s not the squeaky-colorful plastic clutter for the group between 3 and 12 years, then you can even do the ears of the kids and the environment a favor. With Kidz Audio’s [...]
Fast, quiet, cool and efficient don’t have to be mutually exclusive since the launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 16GB, and the MSI RTX 4080 SUPRIM X 16GB is no different. Unfortunately, it is also more, namely currently far too expensive. Even if the ex-factory selling price is already not squeamish, retailers tend to shift the value chain [...]
