Yesterday I had already put the new Radeon Pro W5700 through its paces in the launch article “AMD Radeon Pro W5700 Review – price and performance are right, but it’s enough for the Quadro RTX 4000?“, but I was still unclear where the advantage of the new test platform with the Ryzen 9 3950X including X570 motherboard and [...]
After many measurement series and invested hours, the article about the power consumption of the Ryzen 9 3950X was (just) finished. The CPU, which AMD collected again this morning by courier for the rotation between the editorial staffs, was even somewhat warm, because I had to break off the tests now unfortunately. For this reason, there will be [...]
Epyc 2 has long been in the wild and is allowed to snatch away Intel's Xeons one or the other server loot. Now also Threadripper 3 with a new chipset, about which there were long discussions in the run-up, especially since the boards have also inherited the small chipset fan from the X570 platform. However, the SP3 server socket no longer [...]
The previous practice of real-time measurements (even over longer periods of time) only with the oscillographs is certainly not bad and it also allows deep insights into the switching behavior of graphics cards and CPUs due to the high resolution, but it is always only possible possible to capture a sub-area of the overall system. Interactions [...]
Sometimes you think you’re in the wrong movie and then you wonder what a minute’s life costs. Well, I could have guessed it and I was already on the right track on Sunday, but had discarded the right idea by wrong trust in the logic of the developers. The review of the three X570 motherboards had to be done without the Asus TUF Gaming [...]
The largest possible CPU on the smallest possible motherboard, best still remove all the heat sinks of the voltage regulators and that's the basis for the next YouTube orgy. Of course, I couldn't completely escape my curiosity about the possible limits, but in the end one should also be aware of his responsibility as a medium and not panic the [...]
Tonight I received a video showing the new MSI MEG X570 Unify from MSI in the build-up. Still without soundtrack and more info, so fresh from the 3D designer. This video doesn't even have the MSI marketing, which paid for the creation safely. And since I've never had a case like this before, I just cheekily put it on the net in advance [...]
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 [...]
Active euthanasia is highly controversial, only that many end users deliberately hide it when choosing the motherboard. After a thick CPU and graphics card, the space for the substructure is often limited and you reach thoughtlessly into the cheap shelf and wonder about barbecue products of the unsightly kind.
Even if AMD’s Ryzen 3000 is actually already at the door and scurrying with the hooves, one still goes before. And that’s why I’m testing the MSI MEG Z390 ACE, a motherboard for Intel’s socket 1151 and ninth-generation CPUs. Even if MSI positions this board below the godlike, it is (also priced) rather oriented at the upper [...]
As you know by now, I also do on YouTube. But more and more technology in the same space? I work with OBS and this is where AMD comes in with its APU and ASRock with the matching mini PC in the form of the DeskMini A300. Assembling and finished? Almost, because you can still optimize your own...
Important preliminary remarks I admit that motherboard tests are complex and often ungrateful for the tester, because the readership remains quite manageable, as long as it is, for example, an enthusiast platform like the Socket 2066. Nevertheless, I find it very exciting to observe what would be possible and also if you as a manufacturer make a [...]
If you want to do something new and right, then the effort in the preparation is often enough more than just immense. But analyses of heat generation on and the cooling performance of motherboards are to become one of our unique selling points for the upcoming reviews. How something like that can crash the weekend, I'll show you today.
The current scarcity of Intel's products in the 14nm process and the inability to realize its own 10nm process at all also strikes quite brutally on the Z390 motherboards in particular and the availability of the complete new product line in the So that the launch of the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) Z390 and the new Coffee Lake S Refresh [...]
