I deliberately took some time to look at Bambu Lab’s now not-so-new flagship. Apart from the fact that you can’t lure anyone away from the stove with the umpteenth post on the same topic on release day, experience has shown that 3D printers in particular can either mature like fine wine or be forgotten like uncooled milk. So, what [...]

The SAMA P1000 ATX 3.1 presented today operates in a market segment that has grown particularly strongly in the last two years because new GPU generations generate higher peak loads and at the same time the requirements for efficiency, noise development and electrical robustness have increased. The target group for such a power supply unit [...]
It’s been a long time since I presented a gaming monitor to you. So I’m all the more pleased to be able to present a dual-mode monitor to you today for the first time. It’s the Titan Army P2712V, which boasts a UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and up to 160 hertz. But that’s not all, because those who like it [...]
The Corsair RM850x Shift marks a targeted further development within the RMx series because it takes a new approach to the modular connection architecture and thus sets a clear accent in the market. Power supply units in this performance class are aimed at users who prefer a particularly tidy system design because they often work with compact [...]
As a high-end motherboard for AMD’s AM5 platform, the ASRock X870E Taichi OCF is clearly positioned above the classic enthusiast segment and is aimed at users who are specifically looking for maximum electrical and signal reserve. With this model, ASRock consistently transfers the OC Formula concept to the X870E chipset and thus to the [...]
The new ARCTIC MX-7 is a consistent further development of a paste series that has been shaping the market for many years in a rather inconspicuous but technically relevant segment. ARCTIC focused early on creating uncomplicated yet reproducible solutions for users who require reliable thermal bonding without having to deal with exotic [...]
Over the past few months, I have received many inquiries regarding the availability and authenticity of Honeywell PTM7950 pads. The Linus Tech Tips store, which has become one of the few reliable publicly accessible sources for this material, was mentioned particularly frequently. The pads offered there are considered trustworthy in the scene [...]
Today I’m comparing two thermal pastes that keep popping up on social networks under different trade names, namely the CAYOM CA-4 and the Z980 from Boligo and Boligao respectively. Both products are in the lower price range and are mainly sold via international online platforms. I base my assessment exclusively on my own measurements, as [...]
With FSR Redstone, AMD presents the most comprehensive further development of its upscaling and frame generation technologies to date. The update not only expands the FidelityFX Suite with machine-trained upscaling and reconstruction processes, but also introduces a complete set of ML-based rendering aids for the first time, which should be [...]
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 [...]
With the Radeon AI R9700, AMD presents a graphics card that is clearly aimed at users who require high computing power for games and productive workflows and at the same time increasingly rely on AI acceleration. For my test, I had a model from board partner ASRock at my disposal (Creator series), which was provided by PCGH partner Krotus. This [...]
Introduction and unboxing The two keyboards Lofree Edge and Lofree Flow 2 belong to the class of compact 68 percent boards, while the small calculator complements the series as a handy companion. The connection between the devices is created by a similar design language, a consistent user experience and the idea of elevating functional everyday [...]
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 [...]
Corsair’s AIO coolers have become an integral part of the market. Loved, hated, but above all bought. With the TITAN 420 RX RGB, Corsair not only wants to set a new performance reference, but also push its own iCUE LINK ecosystem. Goodbye tangled cables, hello RGB – at least that’s Corsair’s marketing promise. But how does [...]
In this article, I deliberately do not want to follow the common expectation of judging the performance of a thermal interface material based on individual Kelvin or supposed peak values. Such comparative figures often appear more precise than they actually are in a real system. The decisive factor is not the isolated thermal conductivity of a pad [...]
Picture problems? Optimization of modern HDMI signal paths and analysis of typical misconfigurations
In the private home cinema era, HDMI has established itself as a universal interface, which at first glance gives the impression that audiovisual signal transmission is reduced to a simple plugging in of a cable. However, HDMI remains a complex high-speed protocol that only works flawlessly if all the components involved are technically correctly [...]
Introduction and unboxing Minimalism meets functionality, all in one block. The Block keyboard is based on a deliberately minimalist design that combines suitability for everyday use with a clear design language. The soft gray tone of the housing, complemented by warm orange accents, creates a calm visual presence that blends harmoniously into [...]
We have already tested some network storage devices aimed at regular end customers, and the market is currently being flooded with new providers and models. But what about the “traditional” providers of such devices, who can also afford to offer special devices for special purposes and do not have to address the largest overlapping [...]
Sometimes you come across products on the open market that seem so ambitious that you almost have to smile in awe. Thermally conductive pastes with utopian performance specifications undoubtedly belong in this category. Suddenly, gray mush becomes the physical reincarnation of the perpetual motion machine, silicone oil and fillers become a miracle [...]
