CORSAIR not only offers the Carbide Series 100R in two different configurations, but also pursues two different strategies. While the regular variants offer basic equipment and should be as cheap as possible, the Silent Edition is positioned as a cheap silent model. This is all the more interesting because the manufacturers of silent housings can usually be paid well.
For little money, the Carbide Series 100R Silent Edition can actually offer the volume-sensitive user a lot. If hardware is installed that does not place great demands on the case cooling, the two case fans can be regulated extremely quietly with the three-stage fan controller. There are quite acceptable reserves in case more air flow is needed. The sound insulation mats on the front, lid and both side parts also contribute to a convincing Silent presentation. However, the missing hard disk decoupling should be considered. The Carbide Series 100R Silent Edition is best used with an SSD or, at most, particularly smooth-running hard drives.
In keeping with the subtle acoustics, the Corsair case is also visually unobtrusive. Faux-aluminum is certainly a matter of taste, but if you don't look too closely, you can definitely enjoy it. The front positioning of the I/O panel is also a matter of taste. It may bother some users for visual reasons, but it is always practical.
While the standard version of the Carbide Series 100R competes with a large number of entry-level models from other manufacturers, the Silent Edition at least has a little more room to maneuver. Comparable competing models are Cooltek's Antiphon and Antec's P100. Both are available at a similar price point, are designed for silent operation and are also visually unobtrusive. If you are looking for a quiet entry-level case, Corsair's Carbide Series 100R Silent Edition is a proven choice. Especially the combination of the built-in case fans and the three-stage fan control is convincing, because it allows a sufficiently fine adjustment of the cooling capacity and volume.

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 features of the Jonsbo CR-2000 GT CPU cooler in detail
Jonsbo describes the largest cooler in the series as the CR 2000 GT. The model lets its six heat pipes end in two fin towers and is equipped with two 120 mm fans (700 to 1,500 rpm), which generate a very low background noise of a maximum of 29.5 db(A) with a displacement of 106, 7 m³/h and ARGB LEDs. An ARGB controller is included. The CR 2000 GT is the only cooler in the series that can also be installed from the front of the mainboard.
The dual-tower cooler offers integrated ARGB lighting on the top cover and on the 120 fans. The lighting can be controlled via a suitable mainboard. The Jonsbo CR-2000 GT is compatible with many popular AMD and Intel sockets.

Unique product ID with changeable side stickers for DIY enthusiasts and gamers.
The electrical performance of the Hydro G 850W PSU was very good. The unit exhibited tight voltage regulation, high efficiency (80 Plus Gold) and good AC ripple and noise suppression. The cooling fan is very quiet and the power supply operates in silent fan-less mode at low power levels. The Hydro G Series also features fully modular, flat ribbon-style cables. Our only minor complaint was the lack of a second ATX/EPS 4+4 pin cable/connector, which is pretty standard at this power level.

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.
