The Phanteks Co. releases the Enthoo Evolv ITX Tempered Glass Edition chassis with the 395 × 375 × 230 mm dimensions. This compact product, performed out of steel and tempered glass (the side panel), is intended for mini-ITX cards based computers. Due to its construction, inner components are easily examined.



Enthoo Evolv ITX Tempered Glass Edition can hold two 3.5-inch drives, one 2.5-inch storage device, alongside with two expansion cards, whilst the discrete graphics accelerator’s length can come to 330 mm.


In case of utilizing air-cooling system, it is possible to install up to five 120 or 140 mm fans. On top of that, liquid cooling is also supported. The CPU cooler height is not to be more than 200 mm.


In its front part, the case has two USB 3.0 ports, as well as headphones and mic jacks. The specialty is available in three colour versions – black, black with red interior and white with black interior. Its value starts at 80 USD.

A couple of days ago AMD introduced a new series of DDR3 memory kits within the boundaries of AMD Unified Gaming Strategy development. Codenamed AMD Radeon RG2133, the new-comers are available in two- and four-channel kits, the overall capacity of which equals to 16 GB and 32 GB correspondingly. The most striking feature is that they can be employed as on AMD, so on Intel platforms, supporting AMD AMP and Intel XMP technologies for improved settings optimization.


The other peculiarity is that these memory kits run at 2133 MHz frequency. On such conditions there is always a chance to dramatically increase the system performance up to 22% (with APU AMD A10 on board). Herewith, voltage index equals to 1.65 V, while latency index looks the following way: 10-11-11-30. Memory chips are cooled down by the forces of a high-quality aluminum heatspreader. Its design is called to ensure a stable operation in response to the increased frequencies.
