Those who already know my previous articles also know about my second hobby besides hardware: 3D printers! And today it’s about how well both interests can be combined. What follows is a mix of image gallery, buildlog and review: My goal was [...]
Having assembled quite a few PCs already, I’ve always wanted to build a mini-I-X system for everyday use. So it came as a call that my work colleague asked me for a new PC, well, the help to build him something tailor-made. After a short [...]
Often a computer case accompanies us for many years and has to endure many an upgrade. At least, that’s how it is for me most of the time. My current case is now almost 8 years old and thus dates from a time when RGB and tempered glass were [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Corsair is announcing the new 5000 Series cases at CES 2021. Continuing the naming scheme and design language introduced with the 4000 Series in late September, the 5000 Series is available as the 5000D, 5000D Airflow and iCUE 5000X RGB. In addition [...]
Cybenetics was founded four years ago with the goal of introducing new efficiency and noise certification standards for AC-DC power supplies (PSUs) through its ETA and LAMBDA ratings. In these four years of being in business, nearly 800 power [...]
Even though the title may sound a bit martial and exaggerated – it’s the bitter reality if you really want to compare PC cases objectively in the thermal and acoustic area. And that’s all this article is about. Of course [...]
In the course of MSI's "Review It – Keep it" campaign, I was lucky that the nice PCHMG community chose me in the final vote. The big bundle includes: an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, an MSI MEG X570 ACE, an SMSI Optix MAG272CQR and finally the [...]
Small cattle also makes crap. And sometimes it's crap. The housing itself was cheap and not even so bad…
I am continuing my little retrospective today and we see once again that everything can still be increased!
The Start is the Chieftec FI-01W ("Flyer"), into which I installed a rather fast HTPC in 2012.
The part has already irritated me, if only because of the size, which should have been called small. Well, the Corsair One is completely custom loop, but here I don't have the Frickelei with the watered graphics card. On a footprint of just [...]
Since a lot is currently in a state of upheaval, the logistics with the planned samples for the planned tests has unfortunately made a dent in my bill and I am therefore working in parallel on several extensive projects, which also want to be [...]
Yes, it's just so winter and Corona has the outside life under control. Samples become scarce and stop, how warm is it actually outside? Admittedly, summer is still a long way off, but it gets warmer every day. For a PC owner or self-builder [...]
So if you really believe that everything used to be cheaper, you're wrong. Just put salary and prices in relation! Luxury goods computer. And gold-plated accessories are as old as the PC surcharge list…
RGB is everywhere today – fans, components, input devices, even toilet lids (no joke!) are already available with RGB lighting. In some respects, I can even understand the trend: the play of colours is usually pretty to look at and individually [...]
Today I just grab my Fractal shelf and build with Dirty an AMD gaming PC with the ryzen 7 3700X and a Sapphire Notro RX 5700XT Nitro+ on an MSI MEG X570 ACE. All this is cooled and supplied with components from Fractal – if so, then we do it [...]
Of course, this assembly is purely exemplary and you can also install an NVMe instead of the SATA-SSD, save 30 euros on the power supply and invest in various light RAM… The Sharkoon TG6 is a good P/L offer as a housing with 4 pre-installed [...]
