We are familiar with assisted living, which definitely has a deeper meaning. Assisted benchmarking, on the other hand, makes less sense. And I admit it, I was thoroughly pissed off after a few hand-picked noble influencers held hands with NVIDIA (and certainly against their better judgment) and delivered the ordered praise for a product that [...]

I didn’t really want to believe it at first, but after receiving feedback in the double digits, I combined what was pleasant for the customer with what was interesting for me. I analyze and repair the card at my risk, so that the buyer gets a working card back in any case and I am at least smarter in the end. The 30 Kelvin delta between GPU [...]
There are always challenges that the company has to overcome in connection with AGESA (AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture). The exact causes of the problems with AGESA 1.0.7.0 are difficult to determine, but are believed to be due to a combination of faulty or inadequately tested code changes and insufficient communication between AMD [...]
The process with the destroyed Ryzen 7000X3D CPUs has of course already interested me and I didn’t want to just cover a news and that was it. So I took the damage picture from Reddit and put the back of the CPU in the right position first. We can see the destroyed Ryzen 7 and the dent along with the scorched copper pads in the picture. The [...]
The Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Dual 12GB in review is one of the cheaper GeForce RTX 4070s that are already sold well below the MSRP. So good, so unspectacular. Especially since Gainward’s “sister card”, the RTX 4070 Ghost (same manufacturer, different label, different look) has already cracked the pychological 600 mark with 599 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
First and foremost, a warning to everyone not to replicate this. You will inevitably cause irreparable damage to your valuable CPU. The current version of the MSI Center allows for voltage and clock increases for the X3D CPU. Unfortunately, for those who are fully committed to experimenting here, we have sacrificed a CPU for the sake of science [...]
An SFX power supply with 1300W maximum power, is that possible? Yes! Cooler Master has done it, as the V1300 SFX is the most powerful SFX power supply on the market today. However, there is a catch (actually two): it can only deliver its full power with a 230VAC input. Basically, this power supply is a V1100 SFX designed for 230V networks, so it [...]
According to my information from manufacturers, there will be two TBP classes for the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 (without Ti), which is supposed to be launched in April. The more expensive models or OC cards with a TBP of up to 225 watts should continue to use the familiar 12VHPWR connector (or alternatively up to 2x 8-pin), but the models with a [...]
We have already explained several times that wireless mice have long since overcome their teething troubles and can now also be found in the esports sector. And the fact that Logitech and Razer are no longer the only ones is not news either. Last year Fritz introduced you to the GM41 mice with and without cables and today we take a look at the new [...]
First of all, I owe an apology to G.Skill, since the test sample was already sent to us last year, but the review is now online a few months later. The reason for this is that until recently we revised our test methodology for RAM kits in order to be able to test better and faster. However, the waiting time also benefits the Trident Z5’s [...]
Yes, it took a long time, and improvements were also constantly being made to the adapters, which then proved their worth in the long-term test. One must not forget that the topic with the rather hot 12VHPWR connections is richly complex and therefore quick fixes of any kind are completely forbidden. Of course, you could have just soldered a few [...]
