With little bling-bling and an attractive price, my test series of Xilence coolers continues today. Recently, we just had an air cooler from this brand, and now another AiO water cooler follows. Whether the Xilence Performance X LiQuRizer LQ240PRO also turns out to be a simple insider tip, you can find out in the following article. And just by the [...]

I already wrote a few lines about the so-called MSRP cards and the rather annoying cost-down. With the GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio, MSI brings the exact opposite design to the market, where they pretty much do everything right within the financial balancing act. A solid cooling solution, which we already know from the RTX 4070 Ti, a better and [...]
It’s that time again, NVIDIA has launched the GeForce RTX 4070. Igor already presented you a detailed test in the usual depth on Wednesday. Today we’ll take a look at the new GeForce RTX 4070 from a slightly different angle. Because always only the standard resolutions in 16:9 format, that’s also kind of boring. And this is where [...]
Actually, I wanted to digest yesterday’s launch of the GeForce RTX 4070 and the associated additional load first and then dive into the individual reviews of the various cards, but there are really things that make you think in the concentrated power. The normal Reviewer will probably not see it for lack of sensitization for technical [...]
What do you do to raise awareness of a new product as a manufacturer? You simply split the launch of such a GeForce RTX 4070 12 GB and first release the cards that are also offered at the MSRP. So beautiful, so unexciting, because in the end all these cards are somehow the same. Except for one, because it is much more equal than the others. And [...]
After the launch is before the launch and therefore Igor has an unspecified article ready for later today, but he already picked a deep red blossom in AMD’s blog garden yesterday, which I gratefully picked up for this morning to fill the gap. Because although NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 has not been officially launched yet, there are [...]
RDNA3 has been on the market for quite some time and besides AMD’s reference cards, you usually only see reviews of the RX 7900XTX and usually only of the more expensive custom models. The RX 7900 XT currently plays a kind of shadowy existence, especially the somewhat cheaper models of the respective board partners. That was reason enough [...]
Take a Ryzen 7 7700X, piggyback some 3D V-cache and halve the power consumption of the Intel Core i9-13900K. The half Ryzen 9 7950X is ready, which now comes to the customer as Ryzen 7 7800X3D without the second die and can still usually act just as fast in gaming. It’s not squaring the circle, but it’s close. As long as you use [...]
I’ve been testing the Maximus Z790 Hero motherboard from Asus for a while now and today I finally and officially have the review ready for you. In our baseline article about DDR5 RAM tests, the board was already mentioned very positively and has therefore established itself as the backbone for the test system. Not least the reliability and [...]
Probably most gamers know the following situation: A buddy has treated himself to an expensive gaming headset, enters the Discord server with a proud chest and starts raving. How do you explain to him now that his expensive new purchase sounds at most like a tin can and that he could have bought a superior combination of microphone and headphones [...]
Technology website Hardware Times reports that a significant number of users have complained about slow boot times on their Ryzen 7000 systems, which are based on AMD’s new AM5 chipset for Zen 4. Even the technology website itself has experienced these delays. AMD has now released a new BIOS update (AGESA 1006) that significantly reduces [...]
A little fun fact beforehand: Xilence was one of the first brands from which I (Tim, not Igor) tested a cooler several years ago. At that time I was not yet “firmly” on the road at IgorsLab! With really very reasonable prices Xilence has made a name for itself, until today they hold the #1 spot of the cheapest AiO watercooling with [...]
As a passionate gamer and fan of post-apocalyptic scenarios, I was initially excited by the idea behind Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us Part 1” and also bought the game myself, as I usually do by the way. This creates a little distance and you may judge a little differently, because it was your own money (and not too scarce). And [...]
The AI revolution has conquered and changed more and more areas of our daily lives in recent years. One of these areas is PC cooling, which is now being addressed with the new fanless Zero Wings AI fans from be quiet! has undergone an impressive transformation. These new fans are equipped with artificial intelligence that allows them to monitor [...]
Yes, the Padman has struck again. Actually, I don’t repair third party cards, there’s just not enough time. But here I was gripped by ambition and I let myself be talked into it. Okay, so close your eyes and get through it. The package with the heat-sensitive Gainward GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Phoenix arrived with DHL and I was quite curious [...]
