The following test report will tell you what else there is to discover. Pre-installed malware was recently found on systems from this manufacturer, read more here: Packaging and scope of delivery The [...]

The big Radiator Material Test: Even more lead, a popular hiding place and 2.5 bright spots | Part 2
Even though there are only four radiators today, I spent quite a lot of time finding the right places where some manufacturers still like to use unauthorized substances such as lead – always hoping that nobody will find them anyway. At the same time, I have my sights set on an OEM for the next part that can even do both: work cleanly and [...]
Just over a year after the release of the extremely popular NORTH case with the attractive front cover in wood decor, FRACTAL DESIGN is now sending a much-requested XL version, in which high-end systems and water circuits should not feel so cramped. Read our test to find out how the big brother performs in everyday use. When Fractal Design [...]
We have been testing various mini PCs and barebones for quite some time now, but a model from the manufacturer that practically invented and popularized this segment has been missing until now. We’re making up for that today and can say goodbye in the same breath, because there will be no more “original” Intel NUCs. At least they [...]
Arctic only recently presented the successor to the popular Liquid Freezer II AIO, and is now also introducing a new model in the air cooler segment. You can find out whether the Freezer can also perform well without the “Liquid” addition in the following test report. Click here for the article on the new AIO water cooler: Packaging [...]
While the white edition of its predecessor saw the light of day as a limited edition, the Dark Base Pro 901 (and 701) will now be available to everyone in white. Reason enough to take another look at the machine. Normally, it makes little sense to test an already tested case again in a different color if hardly anything else about the product has [...]
No, I’m not going to test the cooling performance of radiators for PC cooling today, but I am going to take a closer look at the first six manufacturers and their current models to see whether they really do contain exactly what the marketing advertises and the customer buys in good faith in some cases. In the first part, I obtained [...]

NVIDIA’s next generation Blackwell architecture, named after renowned American mathematician and statistician David Harold Blackwell, is set to pave the way for groundbreaking advances in GPU technology. The new Blackwell series, specifically the B100 GPU, will be launched later this year and promises to deliver a significant performance [...]
I have linked the relevant article again below, but today’s text is actually clear enough. In the Watercool HEATKILLER RAD 120-S Black I tested yesterday, I found simple and only average brass in the cooling channels instead of the advertised copper. Watercool reacted quite quickly after publishing the article and my video, but not in the [...]
We recently reported that malware was found in certain revisions of systems from the manufacturer Acemagic. As we had also tested these mini PCs and they were connected to my network, the matter was of course even more explosive. If you want to read the whole thing again, you can find the original article here: And even though I couldn’t [...]
If you’re into custom keyboards, you’ll come across them sooner or later: The infamous “Holy Panda” switches. Corsair made these switches available as part of the K65 Plus review and, after some delay, we are now finally able to test them. Some products have a reputation that precedes them. This is also the case with the [...]
Finally, an LG OLED panel in ultrawide 3440 x 1440p format, but this time on 34 inches. ASUS ROG is launching the Swift PG34WCDM onto the market. I was lucky enough to be able to test the monitor before the official launch. Unfortunately, the PG34WCDM still has the old RWBG subpixel layout and not the previously announced RWGB layout. It’s a [...]
I’ve already tested a few RTX 4070 Ti Super cards, but today it’s the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super EX Gamer 16 GB, which, in addition to ARGB, also wants to score points with its price of currently just under 900 euros. This is currently only 10 euros above the RRP, but it is an OC card and equipped with a disco feeling. The so [...]
Laptops need more and more power to perform more intensive tasks. Especially when you’re on the go to get your work done, it can sometimes get very heavy and tiring. Thanks to generative AI and hybrid work environments, such tasks can be handled better and better and with NVIDIA’s new 500 and 1000 RTX laptop GPUs, it should get even [...]
With the Function 2 series, NZXT has given its mechanical keyboards an extensive makeover. Adjustable optical switches, PBT keycaps and 8000Hz polling are just the tip of the iceberg. Read our test to find out how the bolides perform in everyday use. First of all, I would like to briefly mention that the mice from NZXT have also received an [...]
With the K65 Plus Wireless, Corsair is taking the next step towards custom keyboards. PBT keycaps, interchangeable switches and the now common 75% layout are the ingredients of choice to gain a foothold in the highly competitive market. Read the test to find out whether they succeed. And yet another small keyboard that wants to torment me in [...]
No sooner have we finally caught up with the review of one of the most popular complete water cooling systems than there’s already a successor. So I won’t beat about the bush for long, here we go with the test report for version 3! And yes, Arctic obviously doesn’t just want to kill the CPUs with it, but also the competition with [...]
I’m letting my friend Aris have his say again today and would be delighted if you would also support his plans. What he’s testing is sound, but it’s really hard to make a name for yourself in this age of colorful YouTube videos and dangerous TikTok half-truths. And so today we’re sharing our reach again and I’m [...]
If the adapter (doesn’t) bend and the power supply cable collides with the side of the housing, then good advice is often expensive. Especially afterwards. It is precisely for such cases that be quiet! offers a special 90° angle cable designed to avoid this problem. Today’s test will examine what the cable can and cannot do, but I [...]
There are always those moments when you’d rather toss everything out and start from scratch. And no, it’s not about throwing things in, but rather throwing them out. So, no worries. As things grow, you quickly hit certain limits, and that’s precisely why, apart from the two articles, you’ve hardly seen anything from me this [...]
As we have tested various small systems from the AceMagic brand, among others, and have also included them in our “Mini-PC” category, there is unfortunately no way around today’s rather unpleasant report. Recently, several sites reported that viruses or malware were found on various mini PCs from AceMagic. And not [...]
