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 [...]

About a month ago, I showed in detail that a supposedly original DOWSIL TC-5888 thermal compound from Chinese sources was in fact a fake. My measurements in the laboratory, the chemical analysis and the deviating thermal behavior left no doubt that this product did not come from a regular production facility. The case seems to have spread, as I [...]
The still young KTC brand is once again causing a stir in the highly competitive gaming segment and is launching two new models on the market, which stand out in their respective classes with an unusually high level of features at a comparatively moderate price. Both the KTC H27T6 and the KTC H25X7 are aimed at ambitious gamers and technology [...]
It was actually supposed to be a step up, a worthy replacement for my ageing Wagner Alumedic, whose Dondola mechanism was in need of a light refresh after many years of daily use and the chair was also in need of a new gas pressure spring. So I decided to listen to the countless glowing reviews and invest in a supposed masterpiece of modern [...]
The Corsair MP700 Pro XT marks a further development within the PCIe 5.0 generation and differs significantly from the manufacturer’s previously tested models. While earlier versions, such as the regular MP700 or the MP700 Pro, served primarily as a technological precursor, the Pro XT variant uses the new Phison PS5028-E28 controller in 6 nm [...]
Before a larger NDA article is published this afternoon, here’s a pot of colorful game milk rice for the small appetite: I was able to start the premium edition of “The Outer Worlds 2” at the weekend, thanks to the pre-release access in the form of a private donation of almost 100 euros, secretly bypassing my finance minister [...]
The AMeCh STG-4 has done a great job here. The socket looks like someone tried to glue a CPU in with superglue and then corrected the rest with hope and muscle power. When AMD sees this, they don’t send support, they send the exorcist.
I have received an official statement from Cooler Master on the issue of the faulty 12V 2×6 cable, which clarifies some points and responds to the criticism of the original design. According to the email, Cooler Master explicitly acknowledges the problems with the previous angled connector design. Although this was developed to improve cable [...]
With the XXL gaming chair from the established TANK series, DXRacer explicitly addresses “larger” gamers and goes “all-in” in terms of stability. Read on to find out whether the huge fabric-covered chair can do more than just be comfortable. I had actually planned to present our readers with a test report on the announced [...]
The KoolFaze 918 from ZYP Coating is a good example of how even experienced specialists in their own field can fail if they underestimate the complex interrelationships of a different specialist area. The company is actually considered a proven expert in high-temperature coatings and ceramic protection systems, but the development of a heat [...]
The trigger for today’s drama was actually harmless. A customer with a Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 ATX 3.1 1250 W power supply wanted to connect his ASUS RTX 5070 Ti OC. However, the enclosed 12V 2×6 plug hit the cooler because the socket on the graphics card is slightly offset. So the customer contacted support in the hope of finding an [...]
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 [...]
You know how it goes: A friend brings over a graphics card that looks as if it has been invited by lightning itself: An alleged Gigabyte “5070 Ti”, with a veritable hole in the PCB, coking, black surface. The chip still seems to be intact. And now the madness begins: tinkering, soldering, bypassing and manipulating as if it were a [...]
The Intel Arc Pro B60 from Sparkle is in an exciting price range below 1,000 euros, in which several professional graphics cards are currently vying for the favor of demanding users. Its direct competitors include models such as the older NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada and RTX 2000 Ada or AMD’s Radeon Pro W7600 and W7700, which all cover similar price [...]
