With its striking front, the Midi-Tower Nimbus from Kolink stands out clearly. An RGB LED strip surrounds a large recess in the front, which significantly increases the airflow of the housing. The well-cooled hardware inside the case can be admired through the tempered glass side panel. Despite the solid side panel, the Kolink Nimbus only weighs 4.58 kilograms. The housing, which is designed for good airflow, can accommodate motherboards up to an ATX form factor, graphics cards can be up to 325 mm long - enough space for powerful gaming hardware.
Tempered glass side panel & a pre-installed fan
The solid chassis consists of one millimeter thick SECC steel and is equipped with a four millimeter thick tempered glass side part and a front made of plastic with an aluminum look. A huge recess, surrounded by a digitally addressable RGB LED strip, ensures an optimized airflow, the magnetic dust filter behind it keeps the inside of the housing clean.
The entire interior is coated in black and provided with a power supply cover to achieve a particularly clean look. There is space for a permanently installed hard drive cage with brackets for two 3.5 or 2.5 inch drives and the power supply. There are two additional slots for 2.5-inch drives on the back of the mainboard tray.
Dust filters keep the Kolink Nimbus clean
In order to ensure ventilation of the hardware installed in the housing, one of six possible 120 mm fans, also in black, is already included in the housing and installed on the back. On the front, a total of three 120 mm fans have space under the lid, and two further 120 mm fans can be installed. Two 140 mm fans can also be installed at the front.
A 240 mm radiator can be placed in the front and on the lid of the Castle housing. The mainboard tray and the cover of the power supply offer numerous openings for sophisticated cable management. Vents with fine dust filters are located in the lid and on the underside of the housing. They are magnetic and reinforced with a delicate honeycomb pattern.
Graphics cards can be up to 32.5 centimeters long and CPU coolers up to 16 centimeters high. In addition, the I / O panel placed on the front has a USB 3.0 Type-A port in addition to two USB 2.0 ports. There is also a switch for controlling the RGB lighting.

In addition to higher clock speeds and the number of cores, Intel provides its 13th generation desktop CPUs with additional L3 cache for the E-cores, which according to the manufacturer benefits the execution of larger data sets and better performance, and with more L2 cache per P-Core and E-Core cluster. Here, Intel promises to minimize the time spent exchanging data between the caches and the memory, which speeds up the workflow. There is an additional 2 MiByte L2 cache per P core and 4 MiByte L2 cache per E core cluster.
Intel's powerful hybrid architecture integrates two core families into a single CPU, ensuring everything in your gaming universe runs smoothly. Six performance cores (P-Cores) are designed for performance on single and light-threaded workloads, accelerating gaming and productive work.
Eight efficient cores (E-Cores) are optimized for multithreading performance and minimize performance hits by secondary tasks. The Intel Thread Director prioritizes and manages CPU utilization. It distributes tasks to the most appropriate core to do the computation. Both core types can be overclocked separately.
Top performance for gamers and creators
The Raptor Lake processor architecture supports PCI-Express 5.0 and DDR5 memory. An excellent foundation for high-performance components such as NVMe SSDs and graphics cards that benefit from higher bandwidths and faster data exchange. Connectivity is also top-notch, with Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+) support for fast transfer speeds and connections to peripherals.

The NVIDIA GeForce 3080 12GB is a high-end gaming graphics card with 12GB of GDDR6X graphics memory. This model offers increased clock frequencies ex works for increased performance. Compared to the RTX 20 series, the computing speed of the rasterization optics and the ray tracing performance have been significantly increased with the RTX 30 series. In addition, the graphics accelerators of the Ampere generation support PCI Express 4.0. With a GeForce RTX 3080 12GB, extremely high frame rates in 4K and even smooth gaming in 8K are possible.
The GeForce RTX 3080 SG offers solid performance in all respects. Thanks to the powerful heat sink, the graphics chip achieves higher clock rates in practice. But even so, the GeForce RTX 3080 is a real high-end GPU with a lot of performance potential - it's fast enough even for the latest graphics crackers and very high resolutions up to UHD at 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. With temperatures below 70 °C, it stays significantly cooler than many other suppliers, although the very good performance is bought with a slightly higher background noise. However, the 38.6 dB(A) we measured are not particularly loud. The mighty triple-slot cooling system still has some reserves.

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.
