The T-Force Xtreme series had been announced for some time, but now, in January 2020, the fastest modules will finally be available on the market. I was able to get one of the packs with the T-Force DDR4 4000 Xtreem ARGB and of course also test the memory bulb extensively. These kits made of 8GB modules come with three different speed gradations [...]
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, quite quiet aRGB fans and if you don't trust the OEM power supply, buy something else. But the [...]
Intel's NUC (Next Unit of Computing) is a mini barebone PC with laptop hardware to equip an extremely compact computer with powerful hardware. Only SSD and RAM need to be retrofitted by the user to have a full computer. Due to the compact dimensions of 117 x 112 x 36mm or 117 x 112 x 51mm, the corresponding cooling solution of the NUC is [...]
Now you could post another 20 pages of photo of the successful assembly, but I think that the video format with the (sometimes time-lapsed) view of the construction realization gives more. The SL600M Black by Cooler Master is a thankful midi tower that offers some small innovation that goes beyond the mainstream. RGB can, but does not have to, 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 [...]
As a trained GDR citizen, one was always faced with the dilemma of what would be better for the personal zero number: a packed shop window and an empty wallet or an empty shop window and a bulging purse. The latter was almost always the case in the East. Well, except for a few privileged people who were more valuta-doped than the aluminium chip [...]
Many people were certainly annoyed by the somewhat sparse sampling, even those who had expected me to take a complete test at the launch. The fact that this was not possible may also be due to AMD's new sampling strategy and the fact that none of the dealers have a CPU before the 25.11. was allowed to give. Genereral verdongelung on all fronts [...]
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 [...]
After all, the real availability for AMD's new consumer flagship, which AMD is announcing for 25/11/2019, has finally become concrete. This means that we are almost three months behind the market launch, which was announced in the summer, but it is still in time to fully enter the Christmas business. Incidentally, this is exactly the day when [...]
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 [...]
Although the current special edition of the Intel Core i9-9900K (almost exclusively) may fetch the imaginary crown of the fastest consumer CPU in gaming scenarios, I, as a responsible reviewer, retain a certain, very bland Taste back, so I deliberately decided against a test. Apart from the poor ratio of performance per euro or watt and a [...]
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 [...]
After a hot shepherd's hour with the boss, the secretary discovers her burning fondness for hard firefighters. Note: A C-tube in honor of…
Intel has the 10th place in the high-end desktop sector. generation of the Gen Core-X series. So far, so unexcited, because the processors codenamed Cascade Lake-X will use the long-known Skylake architecture, which is still manufactured in the old 14 nm process technology. And you probably can't thank AMD enough for some price pressure [...]
The way is the goal, but you could also say abbreviated learning curve. The Alphacool ice block XPX Aurora Pro Plexi Digital RGB is certainly such a typical product for this genre, because it combines at the end a probably previously underestimated Alphacool ice block XPX Pro 1U with addressable RGB and a modified exterior. This may well please if [...]
Sometimes the best methods fail on the largest surface and that's why I once looked more intensively at the optimal method. Now with "Try and Error" you can apply paste again and again and then measure it elaborately, because you don't see how the paste actually spreads with the cooler applied. Well, really not? Me already! 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 [...]
