The be quiet! Silent Wings 4 (Pro) 120 mm have already been extensively reviewed in the media, but today we finally have the long-awaited test. We chose the 120mm case fans as the first part, though we will follow up with the larger 140mm fans in a timely manner. In theory, there have already been press releases and information in wave-like [...]

Sapphire provides the new flagship 7970 Toxic GHz Edition with a full 6 GB of video memory and uses one of the new Tahiti XT2 chips, which is even clocked with 1.2 GHz thanks to “Lethal Boost”, as long as the card runs within the thermally intended limits. The then higher RAM clock of 1600 MHz also promises a rich gain, always provided [...]
The better is the enemy of the good, and that is exactly why we have taken stock after almost 40 tested fans, evaluated the feedback from readers and added more details. Although the effort involved increases somewhat, many processes can be automated. The question of which units to base the whole thing on has kept us busy for some time. Since the [...]
This article is about the external extension of an internal double AIO loop in the direction of a large custom loop, and if you’re going to build bigger, then build really big. At least, as far as the radiator is concerned. Over a few air-cooled stations and a BQ Silent Loop for the CPU, I ended up with the Alphacool Eiswolf 2 360 for my [...]
When a graphics card “dies”, you really only have two options: species-appropriate scrapping or emergency admission in the “graphics card hospital”. I admit it, I had a harder time with the title than usual and actually there are two authors, Bernhard and me, because we both had the victim in our hands. But I’m more [...]
The latest headset from Steelseries has a lot of PR firepower, so we didn’t miss the opportunity to see if you can not only hear the great tones from the headset yourself, but also objectively prove them. The following article will tell you how the wired version of the Arctis Nova Pro with the included DAC performed in the test and what of [...]
G.Skill is probably one of the best-known brands in the desktop memory market and of course, the Taiwanese manufacturer also has several interesting SKUs for the new DDR5 standard on offer, of which we finally get to test one for you today. Specifically, it’s a Trident Z5 RGB kit with silver heatsinks and DDR5-6400 CL32 XMP profile, which we [...]
The radi(k)all fan of the current AMD graphics cards is an acoustic plague that is better fought where it originates, namely on the card itself. After a few minutes of testing with the cheeky original, all doubts as to whether the conversion would even be possible were quickly thrown overboard. Pain makes you brave, and in the end you will lean [...]
Who doesn’t know them, the multiple entries of the supposedly same graphics card and the annoying consequences of this registry collecting mania? Sometimes you don’t even consciously notice this and then wonder why a new graphics card of the same chip type suddenly runs unstable after a replacement. DDU is certainly a solution, but [...]
Edifier can certainly do a lot, from cheap to expensive, but the Airpulse A200 are so special that I just did not want to deprive myself (and thus you) a test. These active speakers are anything but riot or party speakers, but still have enough low end and level to be able to do that if need be. Only they don’t want to, because there is also [...]
In today’s Workvlog I show you the Raijintek Paean Premium as a mod, which I already wrote a review about. Today’s build gets the “Navy” theme. I was inspired by the MSI Z690 Torpedo in the EK X version. So there will be many highlights again today and I don’t want to spoil too much – but the tubing was a real [...]
Why do you think there was no HD 7830, but the rather unloved HD 7790? We had reported in a news item back then that we came across a board during the test of a new Radeon HD 7850 in the rare singleslot design, which didn’t contain a normal Pitcairn chip with 1024 shader units, but a weaker engineering sample with only 768 shader units [...]
With the TC200, Corsair responds to the community and fulfills their wish for a slightly wider chair with a higher load, thus creating a kind of gaming throne, at least visually. In addition to the usual features like the Class 4 gas pressure spring, the steel frame, adjustable armrests and dual-wheel casters, Corsair still relies on the racing [...]
With the Pop series, Fractal Design wants to completely reposition itself in the entry-level sector. The cases of the new generation will be available in three sizes and different variations. In addition to the focus on good airflow and the usual Fractal quality, the new cases are also supposed to stand out with bright colors and stand out from [...]
The new ATX 3.0 standard brings many innovations, especially since some things can’t be completely separated from the PCIe 5.0 standard. But even though they are different consortia, there is a lot of overlap that then finds its way into the other specification as well. After all, it’s basically about the same thing and of course you [...]
Teamgroup has been offering some of the fastest memory modules for the platform with the T-Force DELTA DDR5 kits almost since the launch of Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs. At least on paper, other manufacturers have recently introduced even faster kits, but XMP specifications are not everything, as we know. Today, we will take another close look at [...]
So far you know me mainly from the forum as a helper with hardware problems. Since similar questions often come up, Andreas (ApolloX) asked me if we could create some tutorials. I’ll start here with an article about the possibilities Windows itself offers for troubleshooting. If you would like to create tutorials as well, please feel free to [...]
They do still exist, the graphics cards that also stand out optically and technically in equal measure. You can’t reinvent the wheel, but you can achieve one or two performance improvements via the tires. This realization probably also prompted Gigabyte to turn the cooling principle upside down in the truest sense of the word. With the new [...]
The launch of the Radeon RX 6750XT is a week ago and the prices are falling. It’s about time again to test a board partner card with the Sapphire Radeon RX 6750 XT Nitro+ 12 GB, which is either more frugal or thirstier than the older RX 6700XT and can thus be faster or a bit slower. Either, or – by the way, the two generations will [...]
What’s on the other end of the graphics card? Right! A cable leading to the monitor. In most cases, this will be a DisplayPort cable. The connection to the monitor is now established. The monitor can now render everything the GPU outputs to your eyes. Or at least it could. In almost all the articles you have read from me so far, I refer to [...]
