In the past, we have already tested coolers and peripherals from SilentiumPC and SPCGear, respectively, and most of the time they even performed well in terms of price/performance. With good reviews and awards under their belt, they have gradually achieved more and more success on the market, so that they are now venturing to expand into the [...]

Before angry comments are made in the forum that a Celeron CPU also has its raison d’être: The title of this article is to be understood with a wink. However, we still check whether a processor from Intel’s lower drawer paired with Windows 11 is suitable for everyday use. The last mini-PC with an N-CPU was not quite convincing in terms [...]
With the new K100 AIR Wireless, Corsair launches an ultra-thin (17mm) wireless mechanical keyboard that is stunning in many ways. On the one hand, there is the technical masterpiece that was set up there, and on the other hand, the price of a hefty 300(!) Euros. Read our review to find out whether the flat showpiece is technically convincing. No [...]
We seamlessly follow up on the last article about my 3D-printed NAS, then today it’s all about commissioning and also finally performance testing. If you haven’t read the last article yet, you should definitely catch up on it. In this one, it does get very software-heavy. Preparations As already announced, I decided to use [...]
As a constant in the budget segment, Sharkoon always knows how to surprise with unexpectedly good quality and excellent value for money. In this test, we want to find out whether the compact TK5m can do the same. Can you expect anything at all at a price of around 65€ despite four pre-installed ARGB fans? The market for inexpensive cases is [...]
Yes, it’s winter again and the next hot hardware is just around the corner. Admittedly, summer is still a long way off, but it’s still getting warmer every day because the wattage of the components is also increasing so immeasurably. For a PC owner or self-builder, the topics of waste heat, cooling and ambient temperature (also [...]
With the new WAVE DX, streaming equipment supplier ELGATO enters the world of XLR microphones and aims to gain a foothold in the professional audio equipment market. The WAVE DX has been redesigned from the ground up and optimized for close miking, which should make it especially interesting for streamers and content creators. Read and listen to [...]
Anyone who buys a new AMD Ryzen 7000, no matter which model, will certainly curse the high temperatures and thus also get annoyed about the usually high power consumption under full load. However, it is very easy to remedy the situation if you know how and also observe a few basics so that the system really remains stable. The reason that the [...]
Today there is my second test monitor, which I use for my articles concerning DLSS/FSR etc.. UHD gaming is becoming more and more popular and thus you also need a monitor that can reproduce this resolution natively. Thankfully, LG supported me here and provided me with the LG UltraGear 27GN950. The LG 27GN950 dates back to 2020 and had an MSRP of [...]
Today’s article will focus exclusively on the heatspreader of the Ryzen 7000 CPUs and, of course, on cooling, the optimal application of thermal paste and the question of where the nasty hotspots actually are. Not only does the CPU look significantly different from its predecessor, but the Integrated Heatspreader (IHS) also brings with it [...]
AMD’s new Ryzen 7000 desktop CPUs, based on the Zen4 micro-architecture, still use the same chiplet design as their predecessors, with a few small but not negligible changes. Igor already gave details about this in yesterday’s big review. Today we want to look at how to configure the new CPUs as optimally as possible and for this we [...]
AMD let us release tests of the four new Zen 4 CPUs today in the form of the Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X and Ryzen 5 7600X. We have already reported about it for a long time, but now the necessary test samples are finally materializing in the form of the real CPUs, which can provide answers to the many questions that have been [...]
Where is Ryzen? They won’t be here until this afternoon, at 3 p.m. sharp. And to make the wait not so hard, we have a little pearl for you, which is really worth to be presented as well. If you have gasoline in your blood and bullets in your tank, Omno is definitely not a suitable game for you. However, if you just want to switch off and are [...]
Small and poisonous? Economical, useful or superfluous? We’ve tested a lot of things in the meantime and many a little battle dwarf has already disappeared from the collective memory. Rightly or wrongly? For the sake of clarity, I want to list all Mini-PCs and comparable small systems tested here. In addition, there is of course also a [...]
Surf and turf as an edible combination of fish and meat on a plate is definitely a kind of culinary highlight, if the chef is any good. But what happens when a product is neither fish nor meat, but costs almost as much as a premium menu? You’ll have to think very carefully about who the recently introduced Corsair HS55 is really suitable for [...]
The following article is mostly machine translated from the original German, and the translation has not been edited or checked for errors in-depth. Thank you for your understanding!
Nowadays, there are mice for every field of application. Office, FPS, MMO, MOBA and whatnot. Fortnite Klaus needs an ultra-light and precise mouse, WOW Kevin needs as many buttons as possible. With the Model I, GLORIOUS wants to serve them all. And with 19,000 DPI, 9 programmable and partly customizable buttons, an ergonomic case and a weight of [...]
With DDR5-6600 CL32, the kit from today’s review is not only the fastest RAM kit in Corsair’s portfolio but even market-wide in Europe, at least at this point. The exterior is the familiar Dominator Platinum RGB design, which we had even looked at 2 times before in tests. Accordingly, we will focus especially on the inner values of the [...]
Today we have something for the readers who don’t only gamble. The MSI Summit MS321UP is a monitor made for content creators. You notice this after unpacking at the latest, because you inevitably stumble across a measurement log. This monitor has a factory calibration for the DCI-P3 color space. But that is by far not all. The MSI MEG381CQR [...]
In keeping with the theme of prepayments, back payments and heating costs, this time I subjected myself to a self-financed and rather involuntary self-experiment. Almost 4,000 euros more in advance per year should actually be enough to get rid of old carelessness and accept the additional costs for the purchase in return. At current prices, the [...]
