Tomorrow afternoon I will finally publish a review of Intel’s latest CPU generation. However, the question of which high-end GPU I should use for the tests for the launch article arose beforehand. Since I wanted to test all four resolutions, i.e. from Ultra-HD down to 720p, I had to consider [...]
I would like to introduce you to some of my friends and acquaintances who are also involved in the international modding scene and some of whom have really set visual and technical milestones. But can you actually make a living from it? Of it rather badly, but with it all the better! That’s [...]
Ryzen has been known to be a gluey matter since Zen 2, though not in a conventional way. AMD has been combining CCX chiplets with IO chiplets into one CPU since the Ryzen 3000 series and the glue is the package in the form of copper and fiberglass. Today, we are seperating the glued components of [...]
The official slides of Intel’s Rocket Lake, the 11th generation of Intels desktop CPU family was leaked now and at the same time the specifications and the lineup were confirmed, which I already published a few days ago. These new slides are meant to show the gaming potential of the Core i9 [...]
Unofficially it went with the ComboAM4PI V2 1.2.0.1 already longer, but since 03.03.2021 AMD announced also officially the support of Zen2. Up to now, AMD required a current Zen3 CPU, a B550 or X570 motherboard and an updated BIOS. Or just a current Intel solution. Now also officially Zen2 and it [...]
Update from 09.03.2021 – CTR 2.0 RC5 Lower reference frequency values for Zen3 (extra safety when pressing the TUNE button) The number of attempts to contact the SMU is increased from 5 to 10 Testing Mode – only AVX Light (fixed a bug where it was possible to unlock this switcher) [...]
Load spikes that can cause even nominally adequate power supplies to suddenly shut down are all the rage right now, especially since the launch of NVIDIA’s current Ampere generation. It is also undisputed that this leads to the creation of legends and, of course, the accessories industry. But [...]
Anyone who spends a lot of time in a home office knows the dilemma: one computer for work, one computer for private use, both with monitors and peripherals, but both somehow have to be on the same desk. Chaos ensues, ergonomics and productivity suffer. The remedy is a KVM switch. We’ll take a [...]
Those who are waiting for news about Intel’s upcoming Rocket Lake processors can take a deep breath just before the launch, only to come up for air again right away. After all, Intel’s Rocket Lake architecture represents the first significant architecture upgrade in over 6 years and [...]
Today’s short text introduces you to a case that can score with simple elegance and good cooling performance: the Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact. It is the successor of the already known Meshify series of the Swedish premium manufacturer. How it does in the practical installation and [...]
You’ve seen a lot of things, even on YouTube. For example, a 500 watt power supply miraculously survives even a GeForce RTX 3080, while exactly this card even forced a 1300 watt Platinum behemoth to give up in the lab before the Ampere launch. Well, NVIDIA has meanwhile defused the boost and [...]
With the Xtreme SKUs, ADATA XPG expands the existing Spectrix D50 RAM portfolio with two products in the high-end segment with actually extreme XMP clock rates of 4800 and 5000 MT/s. And to spoil a little in advance, for once not Samsung B-Die, but SK Hynix DJR serves as the basis for this flagship [...]
The reports about failures of Gigabyte’s current P750GM are piling up and also my friend Aris Mpitziopoulos has already tested this power supply and, analogous to what you could read in the social networks, already had to dispose of it professionally with a capital complete failure and, after [...]
AMD’s Zen3 architecture Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs and matching X570 motherboards are popular, sell like hotcakes, and are also considered one of AMD’s best CPU lineups because they offer a lot of performance.But where there is a lot of light, there also seems to be the first shadows, if [...]
Now that Zen 3 has been out for some time, one naturally wonders about AMD’s next-generation CPU architecture for the Ryzen and EPYC CPUs, i.e. Zen 4 carries. Latest rumors now say that there will be another huge IPC jump and massive performance increase over the current processors. The s [...]
Intel has announced that the 11. It is expected that the 3rd generation Rocket Lake desktop CPUs will not be compatible with the existing B460 and H410 based motherboards. According to Intel, the new CPUs will only be officially supported on Z490 & H470 motherboards, while the more budget [...]
Since there were some irritations at the beginning, also in connection with older installations, a special CTR-Cleaner is now available for download, which deletes the old entries from the registry under ” %LOCALAPPDATA%/A, %LOCALAPPDATA%/Nemesis_UIv2″ reliably. Please note: The program [...]
If you are in urgent need of a new computer, you have to put up with the extreme prices on the one hand and the limited availability of the components on the other. It’s annoying, but it’s not likely to change anytime soon. Because you can’t always choose the time of an upgrade [...]
One thing was clear: As a child of the 80s/90s and a retro fan, a home-made gaming console had to be installed on the living room TV at some point, because I love old pixel mush and nostalgia gasms. The journey to the perfect retro console has been going on for over a year now and there are always [...]
Corsair has unveiled the new 5000D, 5000D Airflow and iCUE 5000 RXG case models at CES 2021, with a design language and naming scheme that aims to tie in with the 4000 series product portfolio. We’ll take a look at whether Corsair has succeeded in this in today’s review of the top model [...]
