News Test

Nvidia counters the RX 5500 XT with a GTX 1660 Super, almost cannibalizes its own Ti with it and waits relaxed with the old 2060 for a RX 5600 (XT)

I deliberately waited a bit to not only press speculative data into a news article, but also to come up with some more detailed content. AMD and Nvidia of course continue their small-scale launch war as usual, with one leading and the other following. So good, so well known. But what further information do we have in the meantime? Of course, I [...]


Thermal Paste Meets Football Field – AMD's Ryzen Threadripper, the Best Method and The Right Quantity in Laboratory Testing | Tutorial

Sometimes the best methods fail on the largest surface and that's why I once looked more intensively at the optimal method. Now with "Try and Error" you can apply paste again and again and then measure it elaborately, because you don't see how the paste actually spreads with the cooler applied. Well, really not? Me already! The [...]


Ultimate Ears Boom 3 in review – Bluetooth party cracker or winch?

Few people know that Logitech is actually behind the Ultimate Ears label. Whether one now feels this as an advantage or a burden is up to everyone. The whole Bluetooth products are now all somehow the same and you hardly see any really significant differences in the end. At least not at first sight, at the second. With an EIA of 150 euros [...]


Eliminate Wi-Fi problems and optimize the network: what you need to know about MIMO, 4×4, thick walls and the right technology | Test

Less is more? At least with Wi-Fi, none of this applies and anyone who, like me, has his rooms in an old, listed house, can never have enough. Also in the case of technology. Of course, it is precisely with this that an enormous amount of money can be sunk, and it is therefore all the more important to be targeted. That's why I want to give [...]


Cooler Master MM710 – Lightweight with a small price

I have been following the trend of extremely lightweight mice for some time, so I was very curious as Cooler Master announced the MM710 a few months ago. It is a direct competitor to the Finalmouse Ultralight 2 and the Glorious Model 0. The idea behind these mice is to build them as easily as possible, which improves precision and ergonomics. When [...]


1More Portable Bluetooth Speaker – A cheap entry into the middle class?

Before I held the Bluetooth speaker in my hands, I was frankly a little skeptical about the product. There were two reasons for this: Firstly, I am quite an audio snob, I like to listen to music, but then it should also be a good sound quality. On the other hand, I haven't found a Bluetooth speaker that meets my requirements. And for the [...]


Ryzen 3000 perfect cooling – a practical test series in search of the best water block for asymmetrical design with interesting results

The asymmetrical arrangement of the chiplets on the one side and the I/O die on the other side of the Ryzen CPUs of the third generation has it quite in itself. In a first video I had already captured the heating of the CPU as a top view in a special infrared video, which you should have seen before for a better understanding. One of the findings [...]


Cooler Master SK630 and SK621 in test

Personally, I was very excited about these two mechanical keyboards from Cooler Master, as I have been using the Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro S for years and am very satisfied with them. The two models not only have different layouts and sizes, but also very different features. The larger one is the SK630, it has like the masterkeys Pro S a [...]


Three X570 motherboards tested – wrong sensor values, faulty Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) and different performance

Actually, I only wanted to compare three of the cheapest motherboards with an X570 chipset and a Ryzen 5 3600X, but I quickly found out that in the end you read out contradictory things that are not plausible and cannot be explained with logic. Therefore today the first attempt of a cause investigation and clarification takes place, however, with [...]


News Test

Does the Ryzen 3000 have real problems with current CPU water blocks and DHT air coolers due to its asymmetrical design?

During testing with various X570 motherboards and the Ryzen 2 and Ryzen 3 models, I noticed that there are considerable differences between the water temperature and the die temperature (Delta), even though I have set a fixed power limit of 95 watts in the Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO). Counter-tests as a measurement at the EPS connector [...]
