Even though Intel’s DG1 was designed and advertised as an entry-level card from the beginning, a minimum of features and functionality can of course be expected from such a midget. A lot of things scale up nicely as long as the test candidates are good to test. Through [...]
After the already extensively tested reference cards of AMD’s RX 6000 series, the MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X Trio 16 GB has now found its way to my lab as another board partner card. The continued unavailability of all these graphics cards for the masses is actually embarrassing and all the more annoying because these products are really good [...]

Currently, everything is somehow scarce. It doesn’t matter whether it’s graphics cards, motherboards or simple “white goods” (like washing machines) including spare parts from the household appliance sector, in which there are usually more electronics than one would like. And often it fails also already at things, which one [...]

The Mugen 5 is one of the most popular air coolers on the German market, only just behind the already tested Scythe Fuma 2 in the bestsellers. Depending on the variant, a bit smaller, a bit cheaper and one fan less, the standard fare seems to please buyers. In the following article you will find out how the cooler compares to the competition and [...]
For cheap air coolers with real coldplate instead of direct-touch heatpipe, the selection is quite small, Scythe has with the Kotetsu Mark II in the “normal” and Asus TUF variant one of the few candidates in the offer.

That’s exactly what I thought when I spontaneously ordered an Oehlbach PureClock to solve my nasty chirp problem and wasn’t really sure whether such a passive stick was pure snake oil or a passable [...]
Since even many high-priced 3D printers still rely on SD cards or USB sticks for transferring GCODE files, the constant running back and forth is a bit tedious, depending on the location of the plastic melter. How this “problem” can be solved with a Raspberry Pi, you will learn in the following article. But before you start full of [...]

In today’s review [...]
