Design and Framework


First of all, it should be mentioned that OCZ Petrol is represented by only two versions with 64 GB and 128 GB volume capacities. Both models are delivered in a standard format with minimum components in the nominal kit. Design of the casing is developed according to the company's prime standards: the lower part is made of metal, while the top of the casing is …

The GIGABYTE vendor adds a new cost effective GIGABYTE GeForce GT 1030 Low Profile D4 2G (GV-N1030D4-2GL) graphics card to its products range. It is performed in a low-profile form factor to meet the needs of those, eager to assemble a space saving system.

 

The novelty is based on the NVIDIA GP108-300 graphics engine supporting 384 CUDA cores, 24 TMUs and 16 ROPs. In the meantime, its clock frequencies are lower than benchmark rates in the Gaming mode (1,151/1,379 MHz), and in the OC Mode the figures are 1,177/1,417 MHz. Note, that regular frequencies are 1,227/1,468 MHz.

 

The memory subsystem is distinguished due to the usage of DDR4 microchips instead of standard GDDR5. Total capacity (2 GB) and width of a bus (64 bit) are left without modifications, the frequency claimed, however, is 2,100 MHz. The reference version video memory features the 6,008 MHz effective velocity.

Gigabyte has put on sale across a Japanese market its entry-level motherboard entitled GA-H61M-DS2 Rev.3. The board is developed in a micro-ATX form-factor and takes Intel H61 Express chipset as the basis. It is predestined for Socket LGA 1155 and all compatible with it CPU lines: Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium, Intel Core i3, i5, and i7. One of the most distinguishing features ascribed to this model is the employment of Ultra Durable 4 Classic components that protect all internal elements from such unfavorable impacts as humidity, voltage instability, high temperatures, and electrostatic discharge.



The other promising news is that Gigabyte offers two variations of GA-H61M-DS2 model with DVI/HDMI ports on the rear panel (GA-H61M-DS2 DVI and GA-H61M-DS2 HDMI correspondingly). The basic model does not have either of such interfaces but is still rich in various ports: a couple of PS/2, three standard audio slots, four USB 2.0 ports, one RJ-45, and a single D-Sub port.
