While planning to build a productive system in a compact framework, one should look closely at the new GIGABYTE Z370N WIFI motherboard. This card is of Mini-ITX size and has the following dimensions: 170 x 170 mm. The novelty is based on the Intel Z370 chipset for the 8th generation (Socket LGA1151) Intel Core processors.



Owners of this card will benefit from two DIMM slots supporting the DDR4-4400 mem, a pair of M.2 Socket 3 interfaces, four SATA 6 gb/s ports for drives arranging, and one full-rate PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot for a graphics accelerator connection. Besides, they will get a 7.1-channel Realtek ALC1220 audio codec, a couple of gigabit Intel LAN controllers and a module of 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2. wireless interfaces. Among external connectivity options we may distinguish two HDMI, one DisplayPort, six USB 3.1 Gen 1, one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C and two RJ45 ports. Three audio jacks are also present.

Introduction

Since 1997, the Taiwanese company Team Group Inc. is engaged in the producing of computer memory, in its arsenal — solid-state, industrial modules and memory cards, as well as flash drives.

The vast experience of production and development in this sphere allows producing interesting variants of operative memory, which are characterized by stability and reliability.



Packaging and Design

The memory kit is supplied in a plastic blister with a transparent front cover, which in turn is put in a colored cardboard cover with a handle for display layout. The cover design is made in dark colors with stripes of backlight flashes. In addition to the series name, there is a backlight on the front of the package. There is some more information written on the back cover.

Up-to-date power supply units are able to achieve 80-90% efficiency due to 80 Plus standard. The integration of this standard provides for better power-saving facilities, heat level and noise level. Still, some customers give preference to performance rather than energy saving; thus PSUs from FSP will become the most wise solution for such people. Last year FSP introduced Aurum series and today the company expands the line with a new model — Aurum 92+. The model is represented so far with a single power variation – 650W, and corresponds to 80 Plus Platinum requirements.



General Peculiarities


Correspondence to Platinum standards implies that FSP Aurum 92+ unit should demonstrate not less than 91% nominal efficiency, 90% efficiency at 20 percent loading, and 94% efficiency at 50 percent loading. Testing results prove the claimed characteristics, making this model a desirable high-end acquirement. Aurum 92+ is delivered in a standard cardbox that contains FSP logo …
