Why do AMD’s actually measured values at the pcie connectors deviate so extremely from the results read out via software and why is the error rate in short-term measurements on NVIDIA graphics cards still so high? Where do the values read out [...]

SK Hynix 16 Gbit M-Die is known to be the holy grail in terms of DDR5 overclocking, at least at time of writing. The prices for the fastest kits with clock rates in the XMP profile of over 6000 Mbps are still quite expensive. However, if you dare to [...]
Qualified Vendor Lists, or QVL for short, are probably familiar to anyone who has looked for a suitable pairing of motherboard and RAM kit. Since RAM kits with an XMP profile are not covered by the official specifications of the CPU manufacturers [...]
In today's workvlog I show you again a Mini ITX system, saved with a full custom watercooling in the smallest space and the complete installation history. And yes, in the tightest of spaces you also need very jointed fingers as well as a tiny [...]
There have been several Black Editions or Extreme Editions at Intel in the past, but Grey Editions? This marks the strict exclusivity for the Chinese market, at least in the case of the i5-12490F CPU. The grey sheep in Intel’s Alder Lake [...]
We have already discussed the topic of load peaks with the upcoming graphics cards including PCIe 5.0 as well as the new ATX 3.0 standard and Intel’s statements on this topic in detail several times. But since in the end no one really knows [...]

I recently wrote about the first steps towards a better evaluation and measurement of headphones and headsets (read article) in my lab. However, I also see the whole thing as a challenge to get it as accurate as possible and so I was also happy [...]
The Intel Core i9-12900KS has been on the market for a few weeks now and is, at least on paper, actually just an even more highly selected variant of the i9-12900K with a slightly higher clock and base power out of the box. Enthusiasts argue about [...]
Time is running out and many are already waiting for the second part and today is the day (who missed the first part: click here). We take a look at the finished high-end gaming PC including the peripherals. The focus will be on the topic of custom [...]
What actually happens when you forcefully and cunningly slow down a GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which swallows up to 500 watts in ultra HD, to 300 watts? With only 60% of the consumed power, the question arises how many percentage points of performance [...]

Is the 600 watts really the upper end or where are the tolerance ranges for exceeding the standards for a short bursts? And why does the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti suddenly show a completely different behavior under full load? I will answer exactly these [...]

What do you need for such a fancy project? Actually, it's not that much, as long as it's just the water cooling parts. These are normal off-the-shelf components. The most important and, unfortunately, the most expensive component is, of [...]
Due to the great response to our article "On the hard BIOS-Tour: manual EEPROM flash of a GeForce RTX to bypass the lock with the hardware ID at NVflash", in which we were already able to clarify what Nvidia does not give us this time, our [...]
What do you do with two Core i9-12900K trays? That’s right, binning! Today we have a very special treat for you from the south of Germany. The system integrator MIFCOM has kindly provided us with a large amount of Alder Lake i9 CPUs so that we [...]
Let’s assume we purchase a new laptop and naturally want to treat it to nothing but the best. And we blindly trust the suppliers’ marketing and various forum reports about how great liquid metal performs in laptops. With purchase prices [...]
Due to a given occasion, I now even have to add a third part to my water cooling investigations. It will unfortunately show what happens when you combine (without knowing it) an aluminum cooler with copper components and I will specifically question [...]
I did not make it easy for myself, but worked on this topic for almost half a year. In the first article last year I had already written about clogged radiators and tubes, defective pumps and the theory behind the coolants on their additives. After [...]

After a good year of dealing with current and competitive hardware and hanging out in the overclocker community, my current focus is on older graphics cards of the Radeon HD series for DirectX 11 applications. For this, I always give myself a budget [...]
