Igors Lab has discovered yet another potentially serious problem with the 16-pin adapters that come with RTX 40-series graphics cards. At least one 16-pin adapter was found to be defective, preventing it from locking into place.

There has recently been a bit of a kerfuffle in the tech reviews scene. Igors Lab, a well-known and respected site appeared to make some errors while testing the new Alphacool Apex Stealth metal fans, something that was made clear when other reviewers tested the same set of fans. What followed is a pretty messy …

Testing shows that 20-year-old thermal paste performs similarly to new gunk. If you keep it well, then perhaps you dont need to renew your paste stocks over time.

Is the vanilla 14900K or 14900KF (with no integrated graphics) a better bet?

The new Intel Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs are on the way for desktop enthusiasts. While these new 14th Gen processors use the same architecture as 13th Gen, improvements and optimisations to design have led to improvements in the final product. One such improvement is lower voltages to reach maximum speeds. The Intel Raptor Lake Refresh …

Igors Lab tested hundreds of Raptor Lake Refresh chips to check silicon quality behavior. In general, the 14900Ks were found to be better binned than the 14900KFs, and the 14900K is also binned better than the 13900KS.

Igor's Lab has disclosed what the new Intel LGA 1851 socket type for Arrow Lake CPUs will bring on board, and it is pretty fascinating.

3D renders of the LGA 1851 socket have been published along with its associated chipset design, plus more details on the 800-series chipset lineup.

AMD's upcoming FSR certainly sounds exciting, offering frame generation across almost any GPU. But AMD has to get latency in check for FSR 3 to work.

A new report over at Igor's Lab found that AMD's Radeon Pro W7600 not only overheated but featured some poor design choices it resolved in 15 minutes.
