And as soon as we had a small system with an i9 in the test, AMD’s counterpart immediately followed. Today, for once, in a shape other than a cuboid. Packaging and scope of delivery At least the box is square. Wrapped in a sash that can be pulled away to the side, with the included configuration marked on the back. Inside, several small foam [...]

Since I’ve been testing these small systems, an incredible amount has happened thanks to increasingly powerful processors from the notebook sector. The road from a passable second system to a fully-fledged desktop replacement without compromises was not as long as expected. So let’s take a look today at whether this mini PC is [...]
Today’s article is the result of several months of laboratory work, extensive measurement series, development work, and constant cross-checking. The matter of the 12-volt connectors is unfortunately so complex that I had to look for a new approach to complete the picture. And no, there isn’t THE one cause, but always a causal chain of [...]
“Yet, just another O11 clone!”, evil tongues will probably claim, and they are really not completely wrong with the claim. The 2-chamber design with glass panel at the front is extremely popular and NZXT sets an interesting accent with the angled fans. Whether the “Show-and-Shine” case can also shine in practice, you can [...]
Today we’ll take a look at a device that wavers between very good and strange in many places. Large build space, active electric heating for high internal temperatures and Klipper out of the box have piqued my interest. Again, there is a lot to look at, discuss and evaluate today, so quickly cleared as large a storage space as possible and [...]
It’s been a long time coming, but after a whole decade, Alan Wake has finally passed the torch to a worthy successor, since the remake doesn’t really cut the mustard. And now, drum roll please, he’s back in the saddle! Every newsroom is over the moon and singing the game’s praises. But to steer clear of the Alan Wake 2 hype [...]
We have already tested the somewhat larger Elite variant, and today we are going to review the PRO 5. In the following review, you will find out how it compares to its predecessors and top models from other manufacturers. And if you are interested in the slightly larger (and more expensive) cooler, you can also read the other review: Click here [...]
Of course, we still remember the Radeon HD 6850, which was also slimmed down by AFOX. This time, the diet hits the new Radeon HD 7850, a card that virtually offers itself in terms of performance and waste heat. The first sample of this new card contained a rather unusual surprise, which we already presented in detail last week in the article [...]
Today, I’m doing a self-experiment: Browsing and shopping at Temu, of course with a set budget and a detailed review of all products in mind, if they all arrive. You guys triggered me recently, and so the time finally came. Ordered on 10/15/2023 and delivered on 10/24/2023, so a delivery time of 9 days. That’s acceptable for now, even [...]
After more than 5 years, there is once again an update of the Dark Rock series and then also directly two models at the same time. Today, we will first take a look at the “ELITE” variant, the “PRO 5” will follow soon. The following test report will tell you how the new top model from this manufacturer compares. Packaging [...]
With the C1 mid-tower, the new manufacturer APNX enters the stage. The high-quality looking case comes with four pre-installed ARGB fans, a stable construction and a fresh design. Whether this is enough to hold its own in the highly competitive market, you can read in the review! Of course, Advanced Performance Nexus, APNX for short, is not [...]
Synology’s DS923 has already been on the market for a year, whereas they already took their time with the DS920. By the way, long product cycles are more of an advantage than a disadvantage in my opinion, because the product and software mature without blind haste. With an AMD Ryzen R1600 as the main processor, four drive bays, two M.2 slots [...]
Finally in the database and also online as a single review on igor’sLAB – with the Corsair iCUE LINK QX120 RGB, Corsair has raised the bar quite a bit, primarily in connectivity and unfortunately also in price. And if you want to get into the world of iCUE LINK, then you usually need a three-pack with the system hub right away, if you [...]
How much can you go wrong when choosing a monitor, even if reviews of it are positive? A lot, because a review can often only assess the manufacturer’s quality control to a limited extent, unless there are more reports of faulty or defective copies of a device. However, if you get (obviously several times) a Monday device, then Murphy is [...]
With the PLATFORM:6, CORSAIR takes the final step to fully equip gamers and content creators “from head to toe” in the future. The exclusive piece of furniture impresses us with high stability and an almost endless feature list. Read today’s test to find out whether the desk is worth its really hefty price tag! Unboxing At [...]
We recently reviewed Lian Li’s visually quite plain, but very powerful Trinity Performance complete water cooler, and now the significantly flashier alternative has to prove itself. A small screen in the system is not to everyone’s taste, but is a good cooler hidden behind the pixels? Here you can catch up on the last review of a Lian [...]
Much helps much, my grandma used to say. And before you throw something away, it’s better to make something new out of it. So say my grandma and Intel. After Raptor Lake is before Arrow Lake, and so the Raptor refresh comes almost exactly one year later. Says Intel and my grandma is silent. And so, in addition to a bit more clock, at least [...]
Today we have a quick and painless review of a mini-PC that is based on a rather unspectacular CPU, but is still worth a look. We have already published the benchmarks of one processor each, both one class below and above, so there are no big surprises today. Or are there? You can read the respective articles again here: Packaging and scope of [...]
It’s the weekend, and I naturally have a lot to prepare for next week. However, I don’t want to leave you all alone on the side, so today I’ll show you what a “laser drilling” of 16 “laser shots” looks like with the LIBS equipment in the form of the VHX-7000 by Keyence. The object of my curiosity today is [...]
I think that if you’re even a little bit involved with 3D printing, there’s no way around some of the manufacturers. In the past, Creality and Prusa were clearly the sole top dogs, but they are no longer alone there. Thereis a lot to say aboutthe P1S and Bambu Lab ,so let’s start right away and put some more pressure on them [...]
