We held a focused discussion not only on pumps, but on AIO liquid coolers from Asetek as a whole—and it revealed more than expected. The pumps, in particular, are more robust—and quieter—than they may seem, making deliberate avoidance hard to justify. And yes, we’re continuing. This information-rich interview answers many questions—and if we missed something, feel free to join in and ask. Read more “Interview with Asetek: Pumps are better than fans”
Last week, we reported from the Computex trade show, visiting the booths of various companies. But we’ve got another photo report from Taiwan. We also managed to get into a Gigabyte factory, where the company produces motherboards and graphics cards, and we’re bringing you a gallery of photos from there. Contrary to popular belief, not all hardware manufacturing takes place in China – many components are made in Taiwan. Read more “Gigabyte factory photo tour: Mobo and graphics cards production”
We sat down for a interview with the author of one of the most widely used diagnostic tools for monitoring computer hardware. Martin Malík talked about the ins and outs of HWiNFO. Although he doesn’t consider data processing to be rocket science himself, this article will certainly broaden the horizons of the average user. By the way, do you know what HWiNFO has in common with HWCooling? For example, the country of origin – Slovakia. Read more “Interview with HWiNFO creator. Arrow Lake? Remember to update”
Noise measurements are an extremely complex topic. Imagine you have ten different sound sources. The noise from each will radiate through the space in different ways, and measuring ‘which is the noisiest’ and coming up with a clear verdict on that is a really hard nut to crack. To give you a better idea, we’ve interviewed Noctua. Different measurement techniques yield potentially different and sometimes contradictory conclusions.

One of the last reasons for delaying the new generation of 140mm LCP fans was complications around potential excessive frame deformation. But to ensure that users never have to deal with this type of difficulty in practice, Noctua has intervened in the fan prototypes once more. You can find out how, why exactly in that way, and what the satisfaction with the result has been like directly from Noctua, who we asked a few questions on the subject.

The rebranding of SilentiumPC to Endorfy has only taken place relatively recently. We also reported on it in our test of the Endorfy Navis 240 liquid cooler, albeit we only hinted at it. However, we will now discuss the circumstances of this decision in more detail. With a set of questions that shed more light on the whole situation, we approached the representatives of Cooling, i.e. the owners of the SilentiumPC and now Endorfy trademarks.

Coincidentally, we’ve got our hands on one extremely interesting project with graphically improved Metro Exodus (Enhanced Edition), which was released relatively recently. Gigabyte and Nvidia have ordered a thematic setup for this game, which has been adopted by TichéPC. And the result? That’s on you to judge. I have admired Gabo’s work for years and now it was finally a good opportunity for a hardware interview. Read more “The story of building the exclusive Metro Exodus EE-themed rig”
Just a few days ago, we covered a plethora of exciting news and upcoming products from EKWB, a leading company in the water cooling industry. But we’ve also reached directly to EKWB for an „under the hood“ interview. In order to pierce the veil a bit, we sent a set of questions to EKWB. Just a few days ago, we finally received EKWB‘s answers to those questions and we’d like to share the whole interview with you today. Read more “Computex 21: Q&A with EK Water Blocks”
