To describe it in detail, otherwise the headline would have been too long: Today, we will use the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to analyze in more detail what is really inside one of the most popular (and also cheaper) thermal pastes in the form of the Arctic MX-4. The [...]

Today we’re looking at the next high-performance upgrade level of DDR5 memory, in the form of the ADATA XPG LANCER RGB DDR5-6000 CL40 2x 16 GB kit. Our sample is based on the SK Hynix M-Die memory chips, which currently offer the highest performance and overclocking potential for DDR5. Even though the XMP profile looks rather unsuspicious [...]

With the GeForce RTX 3050, NVIDIA not only counters AMD’s very unfortunate Radeon RX 6500XT, but also rounds off its own portfolio even further downwards. The performance data has been cleverly chosen so that it is quite sufficient for Full HD in contrast to the AMD card, even though FPS junkies will certainly have to bake somewhat smaller [...]

As promised, today we cover part 2 of the “Washermod”, in which we want to evaluate a few more combinations of different motherboards, socket manufacturers and coolers in a before and after test with the modification. To briefly summarize what the washer mod is all about: washers are installed between the motherboard and the ILM [...]

The fact that the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which is already rumored for 01/27/22, is postponed quite a bit might even have several different reasons, but they certainly have to be considered in context with each other. That there is in fact a delay, one could already read everywhere, but unfortunately not, why exactly. The tight-lippedness among [...]

Today I turn for the first time in detail to AMD’s upcoming Socket AM5 (version 2), as it will be used for the upcoming Raphael CPUs (Ryzen 7000). AMD consequently changes from the PGA (Pin Grid Array) with the contacts on the CPU to the much easier to handle LGA (Land Grid Array) because of the large number of required (1718) pins. After we [...]
Intel’s Alder Lake CPUs run hot, very hot. A few weeks ago, Igor had already identified the bending of the CPU and motherboard due to the LGA1700 socket as a potential cause for this. Today I’ll show you a simple modification that can gain up to 5 °C in CPU core temperatures, and it almost couldn’t be simpler. Thanks (again) to [...]
