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 that I wanted to “produce” the case for a gaming system by myself, mainly to see how far [...]
As some of you might have noticed, there have been less articles from me on igorslab.de the last weeks than usual. The reason for this, besides the usual fubar in my day job, was my participation in the G.Skill Tweakers Contest on hwbot.org, which I even managed to win in the “Ambient” category shortly before the end. The goal of [...]
In the course of a soon to be released crossover project of my two hobbies hardware and 3D printing MSI kindly provided me with this board. And even though mainboards are not really my area, I took a closer look at it within my possibilities. The following is the short test: Packaging and scope of delivery Compared to the almost container [...]
"Hope you enjoyed all the new technologies we announced at #computex 2021. We are so proud of our @AMD Ryzen desktop APUs, @Radeon mobile GPUs, FidelityFX Super Resolution, and our brand new 3D chiplet technology – the best in high-performance computing!!!" (Dr. Lisa Su on Twitter)
The next generation of Zen 4-based Ryzen desktop CPUs will be codenamed Raphael and will replace the Zen 3-based Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs, which are codenamed Vermeer. According to the information currently available, the Raphael CPUs will be based on the 5nm Zen 4 core architecture and feature 6nm I/O dies in a chiplet design. After all, AMD had [...]
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 information gathering regarding the application of the PC as well as the budget, it was only a few mouse [...]
Intel announced earlier this week that it had reached a key milestone in the development of its next-generation Meteor Lake 7nm CPUs. The company let it be known on Twitter that the line-in of the compute tile of Meteor Lake CPUs was successful. The milestone of sorts was proudly announced by Intel’s Executive Vice President and GM of the [...]

Meanwhile, more details on AMD’s upcoming AM5 desktop platform supporting future Ryzen CPUs and APUs have been released by leaker ExecutableFix. The AMD AM5 platform will compete directly with Intel’s new 600 platform, as both will be the first platforms to also offer consumer DDR5 memory support. According to this leak, the next [...]
Since I’d like to go to the factories of the contract manufacturers and always try to take a look behind the scene, but just the cute little Corona virus lurks grinning behind every Far Eastern corner and i’m hämisch with a hearty “You can’t pass”, it must direct an older collection of images. The production is [...]
Today we build ourselves a notebook! Well, I don’t want to exaggerate, but that’s the beauty of such a barebone: you can actually put in what you would like to have (or think you have to have). Based on the Clevo X170KM-G, that’s no secret, I simply assembled the XMG Ultra 17 myself once, and again, there’s not a dry eye in [...]
Since I have to do some longer tests now and then, like this notebook test, which takes more than just one day, I’ll give you a not-so-serious picture gallery as a mental compensation instead of a serious review, while I’m sitting up here in the lab and sweating. Light fare in hard times also has something, so just enjoy the next pages [...]
The ancient Greek god of light knows all too well about well-timed archery shots into the heels of others. Whether these expertises can also be transferred to the performance and illumination of RAM in modern times, however, remains to be seen today. Acer Predator and BIWIN are launching a product series called Apollo, which should live up to the [...]
Bang frog, China-Böller, widowmaker – for the range of selected cheap cruelties from the Far East there are many harmless paraphrases. But that this electronic waste is literally fire-hazardous, I had to learn (once again) first hand during a short experiment. But trial makes you smart and so I didn’t let what I wanted to do without [...]
What is the real amount of work and know-how that goes into a modern computer power supply? We know the finished products, test and compare them – but that’s all. The forums are full of open questions and often enough the necessary transparency of the providers is missing. I was first allowed a semi-official look behind the scenes of a [...]
Since the author Yuri Bubliy (1usmus) has already set his software tool CTR EOL after the release of the successor “Project Hydra” and also does not offer any further suport, we have also removed the content from the website and link instead to the new, more comprehensive program, which offers full replacement and is also further [...]
Intel had already announced the Xe (a.k.a. Gen12) graphics architecture in 2020, and step by step it was also concretized. The portfolio here ranges from integrated ultrabook chips and dedicated cards to genuine workstation and server cards. The one I want to show you today is factually currently at the top end of Intel’s graphics food chain [...]
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 still dreams of the future. I always found the Air 540 with its two chambers and good airflow to be [...]
There is some movement in the leaker scene again and so it is not surprising that also various information about AMD’s next GPU leaks out. So now we could also enjoy new details about AMD’s next APU lineup, the Ryzen 6000 “Rembrandt”, published by ExecutableFix, a reputable leaker. In fact, according to his latest tweet, it [...]
