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 [...]
I don’t know how long it’s actually been since MSI announced this monitor. After what feels like an eternity, the time has finally come – the MSI MEG342C QD-OLED is on my playing field. A 34-inch ultrawide monitor with a maximum resolution of 3440 x 1440p and a refresh rate of 175 Hz. The RRP of the MEG342C is 1,499 euros [...]
Is that really almost 10 years ago? One is really amazed again and again how quickly time passes. And has the quality changed in the meantime? The participants of the then trötenwanderung, in which most headsets got under the wheels acoustically, were long ago disposed of and scrapped by the customers defectively and new generations followed with [...]
That I can still experience this: With the Virtuoso Pro, Corsair is launching an open headset on the market that almost completely met the expectations of a rather critical tester (i.e. me) in relation to the price. Yes, as always you will find this and that, but all in all this very airy and almost perfectly fitting headset is a very pleasant [...]
The patch 2.1 for Cyberpunk 2077 brings a lot of new features, but unfortunately also some problems. And before I go into the new features, we also need to look at the hurdles that stand in the way of a new user experience. Since its release, Cyberpunk 2077 has emerged as a platform for demonstrating new graphics card technologies, particularly in [...]
An alternative title might have been “better later than never”. By popular demand, today’s review is of the popular Liquid Freezer II complete water cooling system, in each of the two most popular sizes. There’s a lot to test in a double pack, so let’s get straight to it. Packaging and scope of delivery [...]
Where do current workstation graphics cards from both manufacturers stand when it comes to design, construction, simulation, 3D visualization and creation? Has AMD been able to catch up or even overtake with the new lineup of Radeon Pro graphics cards or are Ada and Ampere still the measure of all things? I’ll try to find objective answers [...]
When you open a drawer searching for something and come across thermal paste that’s 20 years old, there are two possible reactions: throw it away or give it to me for testing. The kind dealer opted for the latter, as my curiosity is known to be the last to die. It’s almost like finding a can of soup from the era of the Deutsche Mark [...]
With the ULTRA, Raijintek updates its PONOS series and brings features such as E-ATX support, a glass side panel with hinges and support for large components (40cm GPUs and 23.5cm power supplies) to the mid-range. Read on to find out whether there is a catch or whether the case equipped with four ARGB fans can once again shine in terms of price [...]
After numerous articles, explanations, and follow-up tests, today we’re taking a different approach. I have three intriguing topics for you: the possible origin story of the 12VHPWR connector, the deliberate ignorance of the originally intended 8-pin EPS connector, which continues to prove its resilience against defeat in power supplies and [...]
Once upon a time in the vast expanses of digital Asgard, the mighty Odin, the All-Father of the Gods, was looking for a new challenge. After centuries of fighting, writing poetry and occasionally losing his eye, Odin found that life in Asgard had become a little… well, boring. “What good are all these runes and ravens if I can’t [...]
Today the time has finally come, I have the first VA panel in my test. This means that I have now tested all the current display types. Introducing the Cooler Master GA271. I wouldn’t normally take a look at this monitor, but the RRP of 159.90 euros immediately got me interested. A monitor with a resolution of 2560 x 1440p and 100 Hz refresh [...]
Today we have the premiere of the Enermax brand here with us, directly with an AIO water cooling system in two sizes. In my opinion, this manufacturer has somewhat disappeared from the scene, the best I can remember is the unusual “Steelwing” mATX case. So let’s take a look at how this cooler performs. Packaging and scope of [...]
The Xinfrared T2S Plus is considered one of the pioneers among thermal imaging cameras for smartphones with a usable 8mm macro lens. This special design allows users to capture detailed thermal images of objects even at close range, which is especially useful for identifying heat loss, the condition of insulation, electrical problems and details [...]
With the Radeon Pro W7700, AMD is now closing the huge gap between the previously tested Radeon Pro W7800 and W7600, thereby completing its own portfolio of RDNA3 graphics cards for productive use. Even though this chip and the corresponding design as a gaming graphics card would place it very elegantly between a Radeon RX 7600 and the RX 7700XT [...]
