The reason behind and restrictions Cyberpunk 2077 sets new standards for graphics and therefore hardware. But not only the graphics card and CPU, but also the RAM can play an important role for the FPS, as we recently found out when testing the Patriot Viper Steel RGB for the first time with Cyberpunk as benchmark. In today’s review [...]

Even though the title may sound a bit martial and exaggerated – it’s the bitter reality if you really want to compare PC cases objectively in the thermal and acoustic area. And that’s all this article is about. Of course, subjective factors such as looks, build quality and usability also count towards the content of a good review [...]
I’ll admit, I struggled a little harder than usual this time. Because on the one hand, 249 euros as a price for a keyboard is already a fat chunk and on the other hand, as a frequent writer, I am rather the category MX Blue, so tactile pointy clicker and not a pushing through tempo sinner. But – it is a kind of halo product and at the [...]
Patriot’s Viper Steel series has been around for a while and is probably known by most as a DDR4 secret tip for its good price/performance ratio without unnecessary bells and whistles. But now the RGB illumination of the universe is unstoppable and so the Viper Steel RGB series is launched today. At launch, there are models with clock speeds [...]
After the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX 6000 series, the XFX RX 6800 XT Merc 319 16 GB has also found its way to my lab as a board partner card. The continued unavailability of all of these cards to the masses is all the more annoying because these products are really good and competitive graphics cards that deserved [...]
In fact, it’s both! After a few hours of playing time, the somewhat tough prologue including intermezzo and a few crashes (including patches), I am now a few nerves poorer and many experiences (as well as a game that is probably addictive) richer. If I had simply resisted the temptation to start right on the first day, I would probably have [...]
The latest USB podcast microphone from Blue is called Yeti X and is a 4-condenser microphone, which is currently available in the standard version for around 135 euros from various retailers. The biggest innovation with this microphone is that it can be customized using Logitech’s G-Hub software. This has never been possible with any Blue [...]
The new Big Navi cards are released and the 6800/6800 XT and the new one recently celebrated their debut. Our community member Gurdi couldn’t help but take a closer look at the AMD cards this time as well. That’s exactly why I let Gurdi continue writing, because it’s his user review, in which he invested a lot of time himself and [...]
With the Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl GPX-A for the new RX 6900 XT, 6800 XT and 6800, AMD now also has the right coolers for the current Radeon cards to the side. Big Navi on Ice is not quite there yet, but at least the chip and the circuit board is a well cooled submarine, so it’s really nice under water. Such a water cooling system [...]
AMD still has one left, and that’s what we have today. They want to take the competitive Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB one step further and so Dr. Lisa Su pulled a last ace out of her sleeve some time ago and presented the Radeon RX 6900 XT first virtually and as a purely digital PowerPoint foil tiger. Now, when this card has finally materialized [...]
Introduction and specifications Ergonomics at the workplace and especially in the home office are often underestimated, but are becoming increasingly important. Whether it’s about preventing postural pain or simply being able to work more efficiently, it’s essential to perfectly adjust peripheral devices such as mouse, keyboard and [...]
With the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti FE (Founders Edition) introduced today, NVIDIA shrinks the GA104, which we already know from the GeForce RTX 3070, even further. In terms of surface area, the chip is of course just as large or small, but also slightly trimmed. Still higher yield and thus a better availability, a similarly good efficiency as with the [...]
Meanwhile, besides the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX-6000 series, there are also various board partner cards (not) for sale, of which two of these coveted specimens are already in the lab for at least one public test. The continued unavailability is all the more annoying as these products are really good and [...]
Overview and requirements You know what that’s like? In and around your PC there are dozens of hard disks, on each one there are different files, you never find anything and space is always limited anyway. Now, you could just buy a ready-made NAS from, for example Synology or Qnap, but that’s not an option for small wallets [...]
Barely half a year after I tested the EK-AIO 240 D-RGB, the EK-AIO Elite has been added. According to EK Waterblocks, the regular EK-AIO became one of the best-selling articles after a short time, so that the company would like to expand its own assortment a little more. The design has been largely retained, but the polarising RGB acrylic pump [...]
Even though AMD has solved the determination of Tjunction (“hotspot temperature”) differently with the new Radeon graphics cards (Navi21) and measures and calculates much more widely, it is precisely this temperature that is the linchpin for telemetry. This in turn means that the applied clock rates including voltages, the fan control [...]
Yeah, we did it again, and better this time. Especially since our forum member Gurdi probably won one of the main prizes in the silicone lottery, as his RX 6800 in reference design shows very impressively what can be done if you had a lucky hand with the order button. I can spoil it in advance, because his card reached an average stable and above [...]
Would you like a little more or a little less? The overclocking limit of the Radeon RX 6800 XT isn’t particularly large, so the cheaper RX 6800 already looks much more interesting. But you won’t be able to pull out any trees here either, because AMD is now following the example of NVIDIA and is completely sealed off with the [...]
Without wanting to spoil everyone’s joy with a hasty spoiler in the first sentence: AMD is also back in GPUs. And how! Nevertheless, despite all the euphoria about the enormous performance boost, one must remain fair and consider the entire pixel cosmos: performance (rasterization, DXR, compute), feature set, electrical as well as mechanical [...]
I have already photographed the Radeon RX 68o0XT in part 1, now it’s the turn of the smaller sister, which might even be number one in demand. The price is hot, but still secret. So let’s unpack what aunt Lisa sent me as a second DLC, because it’s worth it again. And those who think I simply continued to use the pictures of the [...]
