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 [...]
Faster, easier, more flexible, more accurate – Clock Tuner for Ryzen launches today in version 2.1 with a lot of nice new features, especially for Zen 3 or Ryzen 5000 owners. So now the tuning of all profiles to the specific CPU and thus the ideal overclocking in all load situations can be [...]
As promised in the middle of the week, today we have the honor of reviewing the new Talos memory kit from Acer Predator, who now want to establish themselves in the storage and memory segment of the hardware industry. The bar is set just as high as the demands the brand places on itself. Whether [...]
Nothing against the protection against cheaters, that this is necessary and right, you do not have to discuss. It’s just that in places the arrogance and disregard for legitimate objections and requests is almost unbearable. Games worth over 100 euros are worthless within a fraction of a [...]
Entering and establishing yourself as a new player in an existing industry is no easy feat, even more so in the hardware industry and even more so in today’s times of chronic silicon shortage. But Acer is taking this bold step with the Predator brand and now includes memory and storage [...]
Again Notebook Weeks at Igor’s Lab? Well, sort of yes and no, but I’ve now had the chance to at least take a longer inventory in direct comparison of two very similar notebooks, the one tested today containing the successor to the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q tested at the time. A notebook [...]
As threatened last week, the Alphacool ice block GPX-N won’t be the only modification to my RTX 3090 Founders Edition. Today we’re going to look at the shunt resistors, the ones the GPU uses to measure how much power it’s consuming and if necessary downclocks itself if [...]
The polish developer studio “People Can Fly” has released the PvE Looter-Shooter “Outriders” and combines quite clever single player and co-op content for up to three players with the possibility to switch back and forth in the game quite seamlessly. There are four quite [...]
The Realtek ALC4080, which was launched in 2020, can now be found as a sound solution on many new mid-range and high-end Intel boards without the customer really knowing what’s behind it. Exactly that I would like to change today gladly and have a suitable data sheet from a mainboard [...]
Ryzen has been known to be a gluey matter since Zen 2, though not in a conventional way. AMD has been combining CCX chiplets with IO chiplets into one CPU since the Ryzen 3000 series and the glue is the package in the form of copper and fiberglass. Today, we are seperating the glued components of [...]
Update from 09.03.2021 – CTR 2.0 RC5 Lower reference frequency values for Zen3 (extra safety when pressing the TUNE button) The number of attempts to contact the SMU is increased from 5 to 10 Testing Mode – only AVX Light (fixed a bug where it was possible to unlock this switcher) [...]
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 can’t always choose the time of an upgrade [...]
One thing was clear: As a child of the 80s/90s and a retro fan, a home-made gaming console had to be installed on the living room TV at some point, because I love old pixel mush and nostalgia gasms. The journey to the perfect retro console has been going on for over a year now and there are always [...]
The first block diagram of AMD's Ryzen 5000 "Cezanne" APUs based on the Zen 3 architecture has been leaked by now Videocardz. The block diagram shows that AMD's Ryzen 5000 'Cezanne' APUs will feature some major design changes compared to the current generation and are not [...]
New year, new luck! Due to various inquiries and great interest in the topic, I have put together a detailed UV guide for you here, since I had a small craft project pending anyway. The connection with the theory was a logical follow. In addition, as often requested, I explain the individual [...]
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 supplies have been certified and over a thousand beta [...]
The time has finally come, the new version of Clock Tuners for Ryzen CTR is in the starting blocks! The release will also take place on our side as the official German-speaking host already in a few weeks – after some further and necessary tests with end users – but also the current [...]
I have talked to Aris for a long time about this topic, because I also receive many mails every day with inquiries whether this or that power supply with configuration X, Y or Z would really work safely. Due to the lack of a wider range of suitable new power supplies, I relied entirely on Aris, who [...]
In fact, it’s both! After a few hours of playing time, the somewhat tough prologue including intermezzo and a few crashes (including patches), I am now a few nerves poorer and many experiences (as well as a game that is probably addictive) richer. If I had simply resisted the temptation to [...]
It appears that AMD and its major partners are already internally testing several RDNA 2-based Radeon RX 6000M mobile GPUs, so that initial information about a discrete Navi23 and Navi24 chip for the laptop segment has been leaked. After first reports from Twitter insider and leaker Patrick Schur [...]
