The Endorfy Vero L6 750 Watt is primarily aimed at price-conscious users who are looking for a solid, functional power supply for mainstream or slightly performance-intensive gaming or everyday PCs without making high demands on modular cabling or premium features The 750 W output is sufficient for typical single-GPU systems with current graphics [...]
When resource scarcity, hype-driven demand and the creativity of engineers come together, the strangest products often emerge. This is also the case with today’s test specimen, which at first glance may appear to be a run-of-the-mill 2x 16 GB DDR5 kit, but in reality is a curious oddity that is deceptively put in front of uninformed [...]
After a long absence on my part, I’m back today with a very interesting case. The Corsair Air 5400 arrived at my home in mid-October and wanted to be tested. As I have already built one or two PCs, I can assure you that the Corsair Air 5400 is something very special. This doesn’t just refer to the price, but first and foremost to the [...]
The Ryzen 7 9850X3D is currently a semi-official CPU. AMD has indirectly confirmed the name itself, but without publishing any technical details. This is based on an entry on AMD’s official driver and support page, which briefly referenced a separate subpage for the Ryzen 7 9850X3D within the Ryzen 9000 family. This discovery was first [...]
Intel is on the attack again. With the official announcement of the Core Ultra 300 aka Panther Lake at CES 2026, the US company is showing that it no longer wants to drive in reverse gear when it comes to mobile processors. The global launch event will begin at midnight (German time) on January 5, 2026, orchestrated by Jim Johnson, Head of the [...]
Intel is about to take the next big step in the workstation segment and, as is so often the case, it all starts with a leak. This time it concerns the new “Granite Rapids-WS” series, which is intended for professional users and workstations. At the heart of the latest unveiling is the Intel Xeon 654, an 18-core processor with 36 [...]
When Pro Gamersware GmbH launched the APNX brand at the end of 2023, we were allowed to test the first “C1” – a rock-solid, yet extravagant case that revealed some weaknesses in the details. Two years later, we are now able to put the new “V2” case through its paces. Read on to find out whether the show case can score [...]
A while ago, I tested the Centauri Carbon from Elegoo, a really good 3D printer for a fair price. As part of my test reports, I always try not only to show a few test prints, but also to produce the “everyday objects” on the respective printer. However, this side project was so extensive that it warranted its own article. If you want [...]
With Zen 7 aka “Grimlock”, an epochal generational leap in AMD’s CPU architecture is on the horizon. Based on numerous leaks and internal AMD documents, a picture is emerging that is more than just an iterative upgrade. Zen 7 not only brings higher clock speeds and more cores, but also a radically increased cache architecture, a [...]
The Corsair HXi Shift series will exist in parallel with the HXi series. The main difference is the side-mounted modular connection panel, which is made possible by a different internal platform and allows the connection panel to be “shifted”. There’s also plenty of iCUE, but we’ll get to that in a moment. Reason enough for [...]
Even though DDR5 ICs with higher capacities have been increasingly introduced in recent months – if we are honest, 16 GB per module is more than enough for most “normal” use cases in the gaming and office world. The smaller ICs with 16 Gbit gross capacity are therefore still in high demand, not least because they are also cheaper, and [...]
In principle, we already know or at least suspected it: The DRAM market has been in a significantly tense phase since the third quarter of 2025. Classic PC and server DRAMs have become noticeably more expensive after suppliers once again signaled shortages and in some cases even announced daily prices. TrendForce has raised its expectation for [...]
Today we are testing the latest member of Geekom’s A series in detail, even in the slightly larger MAX version. The last models performed quite well, but often suffered somewhat from the pretty, but not well-ventilated case. The larger case here looks similarly restrictive, but you can find out whether the “Max” can give this [...]
Much to my surprise, Sapphire recently approached us to have us test a mini PC. Although I was aware that this manufacturer also offers embedded and industrial systems in addition to its well-known graphics cards, its entry into this market segment was unexpected. So let’s take a detailed look at this pioneer together. Packaging and scope of [...]
While other manufacturers are still content with JEDEC-compliant 6400 MT/s (or are simply not making any progress), SK Hynix is already igniting the next escalation stage: DDR5 chips with native 7200 MT/s, without an XMP profile, but straight from the factory. That is ambitious. And it looks like a targeted blow against Micron and Samsung, or [...]
You could almost take it for a joke, but AMD is obviously serious: with the “new” Ryzen 10 and Ryzen 100 series, the manufacturer is taking the final step towards total disorientation in the CPU jungle. Anyone who previously thought that the Ryzen nomenclature was confusing can now look forward to a new level of confusion, including [...]
This manufacturer has been on a roll lately with its docking stations that are precisely adapted to certain models, and the new mini PC that we are testing here today also has something to offer. You can now find out what the “mother ship” and “saucer” are capable of. Packaging and scope of delivery Both are shipped in a [...]
With the integration of the 6th generation of its Neural Processing Unit (NPU6) into the upcoming Nova Lake processor family, Intel has laid a further building block for its AI strategy in the client area. An inconspicuous Linux kernel patch, just 15 lines of code, reveals more than it seems at first glance: In addition to a new PCI device ID [...]
Mit dem Light Base 500 (LX) ergänzt be quiet! die beliebte Light Base Serie um eine erheblich kompaktere Variante. Ob die abgespeckte Variante ebenfalls eine Empfehlung ist, lest ihr im heutigen Test. Bei der Light Base Serie geht es nicht – wie sonst von be quiet! gewohnt – um einen möglichst leisen Betrieb, sondern in erster Linie um „show and [...]
Anyone who has ever wanted to install a graphics card vertically in a case knows the problem: signal interference, unstable PCIe connections or simply a loose connection caused by inferior riser cables. With the “Terminator B850 BKB”, the Chinese manufacturer Maxsun is launching a provocative solution onto the market and turning the [...]
