4 février 2026 à 06:00
Since the first and so far only trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI was released, the focus has been less on the game itself and more on its economic implications.

Linux-Gaming auf dem Weg aus der Patch-Hölle

3 février 2026 à 06:00
Linux-Gaming leidet seit Jahren nicht an fehlender Leistung, sondern an struktureller Selbstsabotage.

Genau hier setzt das Open Gaming Collective an und das ist der entscheidende Unterschied zu früheren gut gemeinten Initiativen.   Bislang kochte jede Gaming-nahe Linux-Distribution ihr eigenes […]

The impossible cooler? 185 watts in a low-profile format and why skepticism is warranted

3 février 2026 à 06:00
185 watts of power dissipation, dissipated by a low-profile CPU cooler. This sentence alone sounds like marketing folklore from the “PowerPoint thermodynamics” department. This is precisely why the concept presented in the video attracts attention, but at the same time requires sober assessment.

Laboratory test: How the application method affects the life-span of thermal paste (with videos)

2 février 2026 à 05:30
I deliberately chose not to structure today’s article as a classic thermal paste test, where you note down a temperature after a few minutes, compare it, and create a supposed ranking. From a physical point of view, this approach falls short and does not do justice to the reality of modern GPUs. What you see […]
