With the Midi Tower Inspire K5, Kolink is continuing its Inspire series: The front is again provided with a unique design and decorated with a digitally addressable RGB LED strip, which is located via the I / O panel or a 3-pin -Control connection of a mainboard. The RGB LED strip illuminates the eye-catching wave built into the front. The side recesses on the front are used for air supply and at the same time as a dust filter. The side panel made of tinted tempered glass provides a view of the interior, for example of an ATX mainboard. Strong hardware and enough drives to accommodate an optimal gaming system also fit into the midi tower. This makes the Kolink Inspire K5 the ideal case for bargain hunters with a sense of unusual design.
The Kolink Inspire K5 Midi Tower at a glance:
- Strikingly designed front with RGB lighting
- Side part made of tinted tempered glass and power supply cover
- Space for a 360 radiator on the front and a 120 radiator on the back
- Space for graphics cards up to 310 mm long and CPU coolers up to 160 mm
- I / O panel with one USB 3.0, one USB 2.0 and RGB-LED control

The first benchmarks of the Core i5-12400F, probably the most exciting new Intel CPU, showed up as early as November 2021. The CPU designed for 65 watt TDP with 6 cores and 12 threads should be able to easily compete with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, while the single-core performance should even be above that of an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X. Since the Intel Core i5-10400F and i5-11400F already scored with a very good price-performance ratio, a Core i5-12400F should also convince many interested parties from Alder Lake, especially if you consider the price of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X in the Retains the back of the head.
It took a while, but it's going well at Intel. 22 new processors will be added to the portfolio and the Core i7-12700F and Core i5-12400F in particular should be exciting, as they deliver high performance at a comparatively low purchase price. Thanks to the RAM-OC capability of the B660 chipset, a 12400F could be exactly the budget option that potential buyers have been waiting for years with the competition.
INTEL Boxed cooling. All models, whether K or non-K, rely on a cooler that is very similar to that of the Clarkdale and Lynnfield versions. However, Intel has decided against radially oriented cooling fins and uses instead again curved aluminum fins. This cooler we liked in terms of smoothness in idle quite well and should be absolutely sufficient for most users.

Sapphire promises higher performance in the Pulse version, paired with more efficient cooling. It is therefore based on the upper performance range for this model. Cooling, production, choice of materials and additional functions should help to set yourself apart from the competition.
In the case of the Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT Pulse, there are a few important points to note. There is the performance, which is higher than that of the reference version.
The owner of the Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT Pulse can take some steam out via the BIOS switch, but we would rather recommend this for cards that are quite loud when pushed to the limit - and this is not the case here. That brings us straight to the next topic: cooling. The Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT Pulse can convince here compared to the reference version. Lower temperatures are offered and the two axial fans do their work much more quietly. With the measured 34.8 dB (A), many a CPU cooler or case fan should be louder than the card itself. The Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT can collect a big plus here.
The Radeon RX 6700 XT is very suitable for playing modern AAA games in 2,560 × 1,440 (WQHD) with maximum details. 3840 × 2160 is also possible with mostly reduced details, but the performance reserves are quite low for Ultra HD. The smaller "Infinity Cache" also slows down slightly in the high resolution, but primarily the GPU lacks raw performance for so many pixels.
The memory equipment of the graphics card is commendable, because 12 GB is exactly the right capacity that a performance model should currently have. That is enough VRAM for future games and even nowadays an advantage with ray tracing - here models with only 8 GB get into trouble every now and then. The energy efficiency is just as positive. The Radeon RX 6700 XT makes a decent step in FPS per watt compared to its predecessor.

Microsoft Windows 10 Professional 64Bit, pre-installed with all necessary device drivers. Switch on and get started!
The launch of Windows 10 and the associated developments are among the most important market launches in Microsoft's corporate history. Windows 10 not only brings a new version of the operating system onto the market, Windows 10 enables a new platform generation:
"We want to ensure that we offer developers the largest and most vibrant user base for their applications," said Satya Nadella in his opening keynote at BUILD 2015 in San Francisco. Windows 10 is now available in 190 countries and 111 languages.
The browser is really new in Windows 10: Edge replaces Internet Explorer. The new browser doesn't just have the cooler name. It is also much faster. In almost all browser benchmarks, Edge depends on IE 11 from Windows 8.1. It can almost double its pace in Mozilla's Kraken benchmark. It looks the same in Google's Octane 2.0 test. Its pace remains roughly the same in the Sunspider test and the Peacekeeper benchmark. Conclusion: When it comes to the browser speed, Windows 10 with Edge catches up a lot. In Kraken and Octane, Edge overtakes the competition, in the Sunspider he stays ahead. The old conditions are only preserved in the Peacekeeper test.
Windows start
Microsoft already shortened the start times of Windows extremely with Windows 8. If the computer is switched off using "Shut down", it does not switch itself off, but only goes into hibernation - from which it can wake up more quickly. Even with a real Katlstart or restart, Windows 8.1 is slightly slower: However, over time, Windows remembers the files that it needs for the start: The start time is shortened with repeated starts. After ten starts, the two operating systems were almost on par with 20 seconds (Windows 10) and 22 seconds (Windows 8.1).
System performance
Windows is actually getting faster and faster the older it gets: For most components, manufacturers are releasing ever more up-to-date drivers that accelerate the hardware. Windows feels like it is getting slower and slower: This is mostly due to the fact that the autostart folder is filling up with more and more entries, more and more tools are running in the background and more and more programs that are no longer used are littering the memory. The performance tests show hardly any difference between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Sometimes one system is faster, sometimes the other. But all the results are so closely related - with less than three percent difference - that no difference is noticeable in practice. This also applies to tests such as Cinebench R15, which primarily check the processor performance. Even if we repeated the tests several times, nothing changed: When saving and buffering frequently used files, nothing seems to have changed between Windows 8.1 and 10. Conclusion: When it comes to hardware performance, Windows 10 is as fast as Windows 8.1 - or vice versa. So that Windows 10 stays fast, the same rules apply as always with Windows: Install the latest drivers and keep the system clean.
3D performance
Windows 10 comes with the new Direct X12 3D interface. DX12 is designed to allow game programmers to use the capabilities of the GPU more efficiently. Computers with less powerful graphics cards can also benefit from this and display graphically complex games more smoothly. At the moment, the potential of DX12 can only be demonstrated using synthetic benchmarks such as the API overhead test. Conclusion: Windows 10 has the potential to accelerate games on weaker systems thanks to the DX12. But the concrete results will only show games that use DX12. The first should appear at the end of the year.
Windows 10 lays a good foundation: the hardware manufacturers have to use this to tease out a performance plus with improved drivers. Or in the case of Direct X12 game programmers who use the capabilities of the new interface in games.
