It was only about a quarter of a year ago that the EK AIO Elite fought its way to the top of the cooling solutions in my charts, and now they are delivering what is now the third version for a lower price range with the Basic series. Completely black and without RGB lighting, it might not only be [...]

As I mentioned in the basic article on what to know about computer mice, today is the dedicated review of my top mouse recommendation for the rather slim penny! Yes, I’m aware that this is another mouse review, but at least it describes a product that you can currently buy and get for a very [...]
As a customer and connoisseur, one associates the Toxic with the most toxic and fastest variant of a graphics card series from Sapphire. There have been quite a few highly interesting graphics cards in history, which meanwhile already enjoy cult status and are true collector’s items. And then [...]
With the Skiller Mech SGK30, Sharkoon wanted to bring a mechanical keyboard for gamers to the market, which can be classified in the popular “good and cheap” segment. And if the sales charts of the comparison portals are to be believed, then not only has this goal been achieved, but [...]
With the Xtreme SKUs, ADATA XPG expands the existing Spectrix D50 RAM portfolio with two products in the high-end segment with actually extreme XMP clock rates of 4800 and 5000 MT/s. And to spoil a little in advance, for once not Samsung B-Die, but SK Hynix DJR serves as the basis for this flagship [...]
Let’s put it this way: it would have actually surprised all of us if NVIDIA didn’t use this hotspot reading as well. The only thing is that the usable interface for common third-party software is somewhat sparsely documented. It is only a question of time that sooner or later we will [...]
In early 2020, NZXT unveiled the Z series, the latest generation of its popular Kraken all-in-one water cooling systems, and its integrated display not only sparked a new trend among other manufacturers, but also a whole wave of funny pictures on social media. Whether the most expensive compact [...]
Whoever wants to buy a mouse today is bombarded by the manufacturers with a lot of terms. Here, the market is courted with up to 16,000 DPI, 4000 Hz polling rate, mouse acceleration, Omron switches, ultra-light, PTFE, RGB and much more. Unfortunately, not everyone has the time, or even the desire [...]
I had recently received a CPU water block from the RMA of a friendly dealer, which I should investigate. Please “take a closer look”. That’s exactly what I did after my first inspection, because although you could see the dirt with the naked eye – how about some really fancy [...]
A proper water cooling makes sense for power losses over 300 watts and thus creates a real added value. With the Kryographics Next, Aqua Computer continues on its path of precisely crafted coolers and offers a GPU water block for NVIDIA’s current GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 refernce boards [...]
Today I’m testing the PNY XLR8 CS3040 NVMe M.2 SSD 1 TB, which supports PCIe 4.0 and is still relatively new to the market. With a daily price of 170 Euros (Amazon) for the model with a heat sink, it is on a fairly identical price level compared to similar SSDs, so you will have to take a [...]
When you hear the name G.Skill, the vast majority of people will think of memory. A few may still have peripherals in the form of a mouse, keyboard and headset. But coolers? That’s new! So it was a big surprise when I was shown the new ENKI series and offered it for testing. With the power of [...]
With or without a subwoofer, caught up in nuances and the desire to cut the most tonally clean video possible. And no, I chose the headline with the question of whether the Nubert nuPro X-3000 RC or the nuPro X-4000 RC would do the trick, again anything but by chance, because actually, as with the [...]
Matching the recently reviewed Roccat Vulcan Pro keyboard, there is also the Burst Pro mouse, which also relies on an optical trigger mechanism. You can find out how the lightweight did in the longer everyday test in the following article: Packaging & scope of delivery The cardboard box of the [...]
There’s no need to repeat the war of the clone SSD sheeps with nearly identical Techvest boards, because if you know one, you know all SSDs. Well, yeah, more or less. And then BIWIN comes now with the HP SSD EX950 M.2 2TB from 240 euros and a different design and nice prices. This is even [...]
If you are in urgent need of a new computer, you have to put up with the extreme prices on the one hand and the limited availability of the components on the other. It’s annoying, but it’s not likely to change anytime soon. Because you can’t always choose the time of an upgrade [...]
Anticipation is the best joy – at least that’s what they say. Even though Intel’s DG1 was designed and advertised as an entry-level card from the beginning, a minimum of features and functionality can of course be expected from such a midget. A lot of things scale up nicely as [...]
The name Hyper 212 should ring a bell with many, especially enthusiasts from the Sandy Bridge era. And even though the dusty Evo variant is soon approaching its 10-year anniversary and still actively sold, the roots of this cooler series even go back to 2007. In order to meet the modern demands [...]
One thing was clear: As a child of the 80s/90s and a retro fan, a home-made gaming console had to be installed on the living room TV at some point, because I love old pixel mush and nostalgia gasms. The journey to the perfect retro console has been going on for over a year now and there are always [...]
The cooler in today’s article is once a real exotic, even in the range of Scythe. With almost gigantic dimensions (almost the width of an ATX mainboard) and no consideration for compatibility of other components, the Ninja 5 has many interesting aspects, not only the surprisingly low price [...]
