With the SGK50 S3, SHARKOON is expanding its portfolio with another compact keyboard that is not only fully hotswappable, but also compatible with the open-source QMK/VIA software. Read on to find out whether the keyboard, which is available in several versions, is convincing. It’s no longer a secret that I have my problems with keyboards [...]

It is well known that you can use tools such as MSI Afterburner to increase or decrease the maximum power consumption of a graphics card (within the specifications). In addition, the 12V-2×6 connection (formerly 12VHPWR) also offers different power levels. But what are the differences between the two options and what happens if you use both [...]
Having recently tested several small systems equipped with top-of-the-range mobile processors, today we are once again looking at the other end of the spectrum. Packaging and scope of delivery The box couldn’t have been much more generic. After all, it is made clear to us umpteen times that there is a mini PC inside. The sticker on the back [...]
Once again, I was faced with the task of buying my lovely wife a replacement keyboard for her iPad. But with the requirement to convert the tablet into a notebook. She wants to write her book on the train and that doesn’t work with the simple models. What’s more, 2 different ones have gone in just under 2 years and none of them were [...]
Today we are taking a closer look at another air cooler that is at the top of the Geizhals.de rankings in terms of popularity. In the following test report, you can find out whether the low price of around 20 euros (without ARGB) or around 25 euros (with ARGB) offers sufficient cooling performance. Endorfy must have cut corners somewhere to make [...]
With the latest addition to the popular Arcadia series, Raijintek aims to set new standards in the budget case sector. Thanks to a side panel made of real glass, a generous mesh front and a price of less than €40, the signs are not bad that this goal will be achieved. Read on to find out how the Arcadia III performs in everyday use. In the [...]
The HIFIMAN HE400se (se stands for stealth edition) is characterized by its planar magnetic technology, which results in a very clear and detailed sound image. This technology, usually found in much more expensive headphones, enables a surprisingly even and very precise sound transmission. In addition, the HE400se offers an open design that [...]
Today I’m going to introduce you to an equalizer software that no PC should be without if you seriously want to enjoy music on your PC or play games in style. Forget all the sliders on Realtek or Nahimic drivers or the software that often comes with gaming headsets. With 5 to 7 controls, fixed frequency settings and opaque filters of the [...]
I had already written a very similar article almost a year ago about the binning of the GeForce RTX 4070 and the difference between MSRP and OC cards. However, the theoretical part on the second page was somewhat neglected, very wrongly in my opinion. The launch of the super cards is coming up soon and the question is always being asked as to how [...]
Today I’m taking a look at the “new” second monitor from Wellenbrecher. Some of you may have noticed that Wellenbrecher is a “lucky guy” when it comes to buying monitors. He bought the MSI Optix MAG274QRX four times and still ended up with a monitor with pixel errors on the panel. A real quality chaos, there’s [...]
Don’t be fooled by the exterior, even if this system is confusingly similar to the AM08 in name and appearance, it contains an Intel processor from the Tiger Lake generation. Our last meeting of this CPU series in the form of the CK10 with a 11390H was somewhat disappointing, hopefully things will turn out differently today. But let’s [...]
I announced a while ago that I would include some of the most popular coolers currently suggested by the community in our ranking. I am keeping this promise once again, today with one of the cheapest offers from the manufacturer be quiet! I tested the slightly more slimmed-down version of this cooler years ago on the old testbench: Packaging and [...]
So anyone who really believes that everything used to be cheaper is very much mistaken. Just compare salaries and prices! Computers are a luxury good. And gold-plated accessories are as old as the PC price list. But who am I telling? If you browse through yesterday’s advertisements today, it can make you feel really sick. But just before [...]
With the ARX 700 ARGB, Endorfy is trying to establish itself with a small but fine case in the mid-range segment. This mid-tower case is a sheet steel case with a glass side panel and power supply cover. At least 4 ARGB fans in 140 mm are included for 120 euros, which should provide plenty of airflow. This case had also appealed to me privately [...]
With the MSI SPATIUM M570 Pro 2TB, the Taiwanese manufacturer has now also done it: launching an NVMe SSD with PCIe 5.0 standard on the market. But does such a bolide bring any real added performance value and what is actually installed in detail? Nothing escapes my material tests in this regard and yes, the SSD really is ROHS-compliant. But you [...]
Today’s monitor was not sent to me by the manufacturer, as is usually the case. I bought it myself, but I’m going to be harsh on Samsung and AMD at one point or another. I can already say that in advance. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 is one of a total of four QD OLED monitors on the market. It has the same 3440 x 1440p resolution and [...]
With the CH560, DeepCool remains true to its design language and appeals particularly to fans of simple shapes. The highlight: the CH560 “DIGITAL” version with integrated temperature display is available for an extra 10 euros. Read on to find out how the compact case for around 120 euros performs in everyday use. During the Christmas [...]
By popular demand, I’m catching up on some popular air coolers, and today it’s the turn of the AK620. In Deepcool’s range, it looks a bit like the second-born son, which is rather neglected in terms of marketing and advertising. But can the 65-euro cooler perhaps even steal the show from its favorite child, the Assassin IV [...]
With the Apex Stealth Metal Fan and the Alphacool Apex Stealth Metal Power Fan, Alphacool is likely to succeed in jolting its competitors out of their dreamy slumber and shock them gracefully. The usual “Another winglet that no one needs” approach doesn’t cut it anymore. The story of full-frame fans has been told for months, even [...]
I took my time with my test report as I like to wait for the first few updates, especially with brand new devices. Especially when, as here for Bambu Lab, it’s a “bed pusher” with completely new kinematics. Although this manufacturer has made a big claim that the era of this type of printer is over, they are now offering this 3D [...]
