Today I want to test the Intel Core i5-12400 in gaming first, before there will of course be the follow up with real application benchmarks soon. I used two brand new B660 motherboards as a base this time and also compare the DDR4 with a DDR5 version of the MSI MAG B660M Mortar WiFi, because there are some really interesting differences with [...]

Today we too start with the kit reviews for DDR5 on the new Alder Lake platform. At the launch at the beginning of November, the availability of the new memory kits was more than sparse, but since then one or the other DDR5 memory module has actually shown up as “in stock” in many online shops. Perfect timing to take a closer look at [...]

Yuri Bubliy aka 1usmus is now taking a completely different approach with Project Hydra than he did with the former CTR (Clock Tuner for Ryzen), although the focus and goal of both programs are the same: an OC sandbox for optimizing current Ryzen processors from AMD that are based on Zen3. For Project Hydra, Yuri took the well-meant advice and [...]

Today we want to question where the upcoming Core i5-12400 can still score apart from colorful gaming worlds and whether it will remain just as frugal and efficient. Gaming is actually overrated when you take a closer look at the benchmarks from 1440p. Thus, the true strengths of the new architecture will hardly be seen while gaming, but I wonder [...]
DDR5 is known to be rarer and harder to come by than some GPUs at the moment. Therefore, the question arose for me: Does an Intel CPU of the 12th generation, codename Alder Lake, really need the new memory standard, or is the performance with DDR4 on a similar level? Alder Lake now also uses two separate memory controllers (IMCs) for DDR4, one for [...]
Today we would like to anticipate one of the upcoming launches in January and test the really interesting Intel Core i5-12400 in gaming (for now). Of course, there will be a follow-up with real application benchmarks soon. Even though I’m not under NDA, I’ll be fair and deliberately use an emulated CPU and none of the available [...]

The Fractal Prisma AL-12 PWM ARGB is obviously underestimated as a 120 mm case fan, because we got several requests from the community to test this model in more detail. Most reviews of the cooler that we could find at all were richly vacuous and tended to come from the “laying on hands” and “finding nice” category. That [...]

Right off the bat, a little warning to readers, because the following article is likely to have relevance only to a relatively limited readership. It’s all about the past 11th generation Intel Core CPUs and the Extreme Overclocking motherboards around the Z590 platform. Now Alder Lake is already on the market, but on the one hand older [...]
Cooling issues with Intel’s Alder Lake – Problems with the LGA-1700 socket and a possible workaround
Badly fitting coolers, too low performance with actually good waterblocks and bent CPUs – meanwhile not only the feedback of the readers is piling up, but also very similar reports from the board partners, cooler manufacturers and system integrators. Based on my own experiences, I went in search of clues and first tried to sort out [...]
