During testing with various X570 motherboards and the Ryzen 2 and Ryzen 3 models, I noticed that there are considerable differences between the water temperature and the die temperature (Delta), even though I have set a fixed power limit of 95 watts in the Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO). Counter-tests as a measurement at the EPS connector [...]

PC-Cooling
A few years ago, the trend of RGB illuminated components emerged. It looks good, is flexible and varied, you can make your beloved PC shine in versatile colors and patterns. Of course, the well-known hardware manufacturers did not miss the opportunity to retain customers with their own connections, pin-outs and software.
Alphacool and the GPX water blocks are such a thing that the manufacturer really had to redefine. This is exactly where the completely new Aurora GPX is going to start, because the new cooling design will not only be available for Navi. But also and that's exactly why I wanted to know more. Above all, I am interested in what has changed in the [...]
Manufacture goods with massive cooling surface, good workmanship and (also over the price) a very exclusive touch of upper-class. At Monsterlabo the name seems to be program and As a self-confessed passive cooling freak I got two of these fancy hardware cages for the tests...
Yes, so I just couldn't miss this conversion. After I had already converted some cards in the past, this time the current GeForce GTX 1650 has to believe in it. And if you don't believe it, you can. It's actually going really well! Why and why, you only read it here...
Deepcool is following the path of evolution with the Captain 240 Pro for the AiO compact water coolers, rather than ever-new products. This gives you a mature product, the initial problems of which have long been history with the first models. And with the new pressure equalization chamber, you are even putting on top of an innovation that you can [...]
The suffering with the online buying behaviour of the packaging rip-offs and return eraise is already annoying enough for shops and distributors. But there is another category of creative defect inventors, some of whom even manage to find defects in unpacked products. So almost the X-ray view through the sealed box or the supposedly unsuccessful [...]
Icebreakers and price breakers arenot quite accidental lycomal and so I was looking forward to the Raijintek Samos NV 2080 Ti RBW, which trudged in as a pre-model directly from the manufacturer here. Well, there was no final packaging yet and there was still some improvisation, but the product itself was final, if already used. And one thing I can [...]
Yes, I did it again and tested something from the stack of different pads today that fundamentally differs from the material that has already been tested before. It is a phase change pad, but this time made of lightly pressed nanopolymers and electrically non-conductive. For this purpose, it is thin enough and otherwise quite flexible to handle [...]
A little bit I now put up the horse from behind, after we have already reached and published the overclocking results of the Radeon VII with exactly this cooler, but especially the assembly of this cooler in general and the peculiarities of the Radeon VII when tightening the screws in particular, a second, more precise look is also worthwhile. And [...]
What lasts for a long time will eventually be good. And so today the Express man came and brought me a small, brown package. Directly from EK Waterblocks and as a nice, quite exclusive greeting from the Balkans. And then there was exactly what the Radeon VII fan community had long longed for: a real fullcover water block for the Radeon VII. With [...]
New revision, new happiness? Let's see what Alphacool made of the ice block GPX, because there is now a new model M02, which is compatible with both the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080, and the RTX 2070. Today's test has to show how well all this performs and where you can classify the cooler in direct comparison to your competitors. In my [...]
All good things are four, the rest of the vendors have unfortunately either refused with their products or unfortunately could not deliver. This is annoying in itself, but it cannot be changed. In addition, two of the prototypes sent to me never made it on the market after the test. Here, the two sides have always treated each other fairly. The [...]
My preference for the Thermal Grizzly Cryonaut is due to its performance and consistency, because in many situations I have to remove and reassemble coolers quickly and especially very often. But such a very liquid paste also has minor disadvantages, because it is and remains a garish schmand, which not only settles almost unwashable in textiles [...]
Unexpectedly often comes and so, rather by chance, a mysterious paste fell into my hands. And since I not only write reviews, but also run a laboratory, I have banished the show to the shelf of good deeds. Waiting for a time gap to take a look at it. It's good that I did it after the launch in a very timely way...
Today's tip is quite serious, because you can collect plus points with it. What you have to keep in mind, however, I tell you in a small practice video, because it shows and explains itself faster than you could describe it in many words awkwardly.
What lasts for a long time must probably just be good. After a long wait, the time has finally come and the Aqua Computer kryographics NEXT 2080 Ti, announced at the end of 2018, completed my test run at the weekend and passed with flying colours. Without wanting to spoil: the patience was really worth it! Even if a few trivialities still signal a [...]
First of all, a warning to all those who think that I have committed myself again. But: Sharkhan is not Sharkoon, but a brand of Chenglin Inc. from South Korea. Don't you know? Don't worry, because the company has only been around since 2017. The selection of products is also very manageable, but with the Sharkhan Extreme XTC-4 you would [...]
With the Watercool Heatkiller IV for RTX 2080 Ti I would like to introduce the third fullcover water block in detail, which has to face my stress test honestly. The fact that the test sample only came now is mainly due to the high demand and the fact that the parts were always sold out as a result. But at some point almost every part ends up here [...]
In my two articles "GeForce RTX 2080 Ti – Why water cooling is more important than manual overclocking and this brings very little" and especially "Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition water-cooled? Forget it, here's the much faster alternative!" I've already discussed in great detail the cooling problem and the [...]

Forget it, here's the much faster alternative!" I've already detailed the cooling problem and the advantages of a [...]
Two very unequal sisters The fact that the Founders Edition of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 2080 Ti would have particularly good chips is not only an urban legend, but complete nonsense. Clock-adjusted and provided with the same BIOS, e.g. the board of my press sample from Nvidia water-cooled also no better than e.g. the KFA2/Galax RTX 2080 Ti OC [...]
I have always wondered (and in the end also annoyed) why the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti behaves so divertily unwilling when manually overclocking and why ultimately the Founders edition, if you really cool it down, at the same time as your Power Target the limit of what makes sense. Squinting at the card with the highest Power Target ex works and the [...]
So AMD did! Not only that the Threadripper 2 has also been granted the new Zen+ This, as we already find with the Ryzen 2700X and other models of this series, no, one also occupies all four possible places in one of the two models tested today. instead of two, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990 WX elegantly (and almost with a casual gesture from [...]
When it comes to storms, then most of the time DHL comes. So also with us and suddenly there were two relatively large and heavy boxes. Let's pack it on and off!
