The phenomenon of integrated heat spreader (IHS) replacement is a well-known issue that affects a variety of CPUs, often with a focus on high-end Core i9 models. Recently, a Reddit user by the name of “Much_Designer_8417” made a purchase on Amazon expecting to receive a new Core i9-13900K. However, he quickly discovered that several [...]
The Thermaltake Ceres 500 turned out to be my secret case star of the year because it combines great features with a fresh look and performs well in all aspects. With the Ceres 300, Thermaltake now sends a shrunken version with slightly slimmed down features and hits a range with the form factor that should fit perfectly for the majority of all [...]
It should hardly come as a surprise that the Ryzen 8050 APU series will make its debut with 12 cores.

Attention allergy sufferers, the following text may contain traces of lead and sarcasm! Once upon a time, in a country called China, engineers and economists asked the eternal question, “Should our solder be leaded or lead-free?” You might say that this was a question of almost Shakespearean proportions: “To solder or not to [...]
Normally you don’t see many reviews of ATX cases from me, I actually feel quite comfortable in the literally small ITX niche. This time, however, a good opportunity arose when I was offered the latest case from Endorfy. I need to free up some space in my basement shelves and want to get rid of as much as possible in one fell swoop. Building [...]
IT Home, August 20: Recent news reveals that the upcoming generation of Arrow Lake S-series processors will be called “Core Ultra”. This processor line is expected to be launched in late 2024 under the name Meteor Lake series as the successor of Core Ultra processors. The flagship of this processor line will be based on the LGA 1851 [...]
Let's quickly jump in again... The before and after show of the fireplace opening That you can warm up to features like a docking station is all a matter of opinion. By the way, the good piece has never been used, so it d... Collateral damage? It's amazing that the rest of the technology survived despite the excess liquid and the short circuit [...]
While the Tower 100 still lacked installation options for a powerful AIO and monster graphics cards like a 4090 or 7900XTX, the slightly grown Tower 200 now offers space for 280mm AIOs and 380mm GPUs. Read about the strengths and weaknesses of the stylish tower in the review. When I tested the Tower 500 a little over a year ago, I was quite taken [...]
The next generation APU, internally called “Strix”, will be based on a 4-nanometer process. This process promises a balanced combination of performance and energy efficiency. The APU is aimed equally at professional users and those looking for sophisticated entertainment experiences. One particularly notable feature of the [...]
Intel’s 14th generation Raptor Lake Refresh processors are already scratching their hooves and it should certainly not be very long before Intel releases its new chips. The Core i9-14900K is a processor with 24 cores and 32 threads, which contains eight P-cores and 16 E-cores. It serves as a direct replacement for Intel’s Core i9 [...]
Laut Berichten besteht bei der AMD Zen 2 Plattform ein potenzielles Risiko für einen neuen “Zenbleed”-Bug, der zu möglichen Datendiebstählen und Angriffen führen könnte. Es wurde festgestellt, dass AMD Zen 2 CPUs anfällig für Datenlecks sind, und es wird erwartet, dass die meisten Patches bis Ende 2023 veröffentlicht werden. Der Fehler [...]
ATX 3.0 and 1000 Watt for under 160 Euro? Another reason to let my friend Aris from Hardwarebusters have his say (and picture) on our site, because he not only tested this power supply intensively, but also officially certified it via his company Cybenetics. There you can also find the equipment and the test setup. Since it is surely interesting [...]
We recently tested an AMD model from this manufacturer, and now we have a small Intel system after that. How the mobile CPU, which is now a good 2 years old, performs, you can read in the following article. Click here for a mini-PC with AMD processor: Packaging and scope of delivery The small cardboard box is very plain, with only the company name [...]
The first gaming benchmarks of AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs with the latest AM5 BIOS, which is supposed to improve memory performance and support, have been published by Quasarzone and the results are not necessarily convincing. The latest AM5 BIOS is said to improve DDR5 memory support and overclocking of the Ryzen 7000 CPUs, but gaming performance [...]
On Tuesday, FinalWire announced that the latest version of its AIDA64 diagnostic and benchmarking software now supports AMD’s upcoming processors based on the Zen 5 microarchitecture. In addition, support for Intel’s upcoming processors, namely Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake, has been “enhanced.” According to the [...]
Work is currently underway on the next generation of AMD Ryzen 8000 APUs, codenamed Strix Point. Two new SKUs have already been added to the AMDGPU LLVM backend. The AMD Ryzen 8000 “Strix Point” APUs will appear in LLVM and feature RDNA 3.5 “GFX1150” & “GFX1151” iGPUs. It is expected that the AMD Ryzen 8000 [...]
Yesterday I already discussed the performance projection for an Arrow Lake S CPU, today we have the matching base in the form of the LGA1851 socket. Because Raptor Lake for Intel’s LGA 1700 desktop platform is already on the market and an update is planned for the fall. However, this socket will not be continued after that. It is planned [...]
Hardware leaker @wnxod published a supposed benchmark of the Core i7-14700K processor, which is supposed to show a configuration with 8 performance cores and an unknown number of efficient cores. However, earlier reports spoke of 12 efficient cores. The CPU is not recognized by any software yet, but it is identified as Raptor Lake HX/S. CPU-Z [...]
The Raptor Lake refresh is expected to arrive this year as the 14th CPU generation for the desktop. But the real successor, Arrow Lake-S for desktop, is also increasingly materializing along with the new 800 series chipset, which again brings a new processor socket, of which I will soon publish the exact details including the drawings and data [...]
