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 [...]
Less is more? At least with Wi-Fi, none of this applies and anyone who, like me, has his rooms in an old, listed house, can never have enough. Also in the case of technology. Of course, it is precisely with this that an enormous amount of money can be sunk, and it is therefore all the more important to be targeted. That's why I want to give [...]
I could have served myself on the shelf of a Chinese plush monster producer, but that would be boring and bland. No, you could certainly do better and, above all, more creatively! In the video you can find out what we are looking for and why. And at the end of the whole story, I print out the new companion in the company look! Of course, you can [...]
One thing you really have to admit to Sapphire: when it comes to cooling, hardly anyone blames them when it comes to AMD cards. Provided you are also willing to pay a certain extra charge for this service compared to the in-house Normalo cards such as the Pulse. The Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro Plus, which was tested today, clearly shows one thing: [...]
After the first few minutes with the new MSI RX 5700 XT, a déja vu attacked me, because I suddenly had the legendary MSI R9 390 X 8G in mind again. Fixes thing, a little hot and by no means a food scorner, on the contrary. Well, as you know, power comes from fuel, and so MSI really hasn't let itself be lumped in this regard. In any case, the [...]
Secretly, quietly and quietly, Nvidia has also given its board partners the ability to raise graphics cards with supposedly worse-than-overclocked non-A chips to the level of "full-fledged" cards. More Power-Limit for free! Not communicated, but at last it also exists! You can find out how you get there in the video…
The asymmetric arrangement of the chiplets on one side and the I/O die on the other side of the third-generation Ryzen CPUs has it all. In a first video I had already recorded the heating of the CPU as a top view in a special infrared video, today I build different cooler variants and test them under identical conditions with a large Ryzen R9 [...]
Puh, that was already scarce. And DHL obviously also has the VGA water block on its conscience. And so I had everything today: from the sprinkler system to the thought sports task. And a small leak of a graphics card is also in there. Typical Friday…
An exclusive video of the warm-up process shows a Ryzen of the 3. generation and the two hotspots. The existence of a thermal protection circuit of the I/O Die would remain to be questioned. The CPU should be used at approx. 120 degrees just switch off, but the risk of a counter-test was too high for me. And how to mount the water block for a [...]
First of all, the part is really quiet! And does such a compensating container have to be boring? Sure, the part polarizes and you don't have to find everything beautiful just because it lights up. But if you've always wanted something different, give yourself the ball, just like me. I put the knob under the lab table for portable cooling [...]
Today some improvisation on the construction site, but finally also the video for the review. Same performance and significantly higher power consumption or power consumption and less power: you can see the consequences of inefficient voltage converters in this video!
Yes, thermal paste can be calculated, quite simply. Because the demands of THE CPU and GPU are different, even those of Intel vs. AMD CPU. High-end paste or rather budget paste? The solution is really simple! For the most attentive: I have verbally embezzled a zero twice, so the slides are still correct. 34 minutes of standup take a small toll [...]
This time the motherboard has held and no 60°C on the voltage converter under full load are really ok. And the rest is also convincing, right down to the cheap 70-euro NZXT H510i case with lots of features. Only CAM, the software from NZXT is a bit too curious for me. GDPR and so… And their guest mode is visually so under-presented that you [...]
Powercolor sets a decent fragrance brand with the RX 5700 XT Red Devil – both in terms of performance and the massive cooler as well as in terms of price. There is also a Silent BIOS that really honors its name. But I don't want to spoil, I want to test. So it's best to look for yourself…
Unboxing of the Sapphire RX 5700 XT Pulse – the first Sapphire Navi board partner card. Let yourself be surprised, because there are all the views and own high-resolution pictures fresh from my photo studio!
