Entitled TurboDuo R9 280 OC, it features 267x111.2x38 mm dimensions and comes with industry-scale boost. The card has got an improved VRM node, a solid-rock hardware base, as well as a highly efficient cooling system. No information about the release date or pricing has been unveiled so far.



PowerColor TurboDuo R9 280 OC employs The Gold Power Kit components soldered on the PCB: high-quality transistors in PowerPAK SO-8 cases, chokes with ferrite cores, and solid-state capacitors. The integrated TurboDuo cooler consists of a heatsink, three copper heatpipes and a pair of 90 mm fans. It demonstrates up to 23% higher performance and 19% lower noise level than reference cooler does.


This graphics card is based on Tahiti Pro GPU with 1792 current processors (GCN architecture), 32 ROPs, and 112 TMUs. It runs at 855 MHz nominal and 960 MHz overclocked frequency. The GPU …

In case you are looking for a slimline computer for solving simple routine tasks you should pay attention to the novelty in the ZOTAC ZBOX PICO series – namely the ZOTAC ZBOX PI335 model, featuring the entirely passive cooling.


The specialty is built on the 14 nm Intel Apollo Lake N3350 Processor (dual core/two threads, 1.1–2.4 GHz) with the integrated Intel HD Graphics 500 graphics engine. The capacity of the preinstalled LPDDR3 memory is 4 GB, and of the eMMC drive – 32 GB. The drive subsystem can be expanded via the memory card (microSD/microSDHC/microSDXC) or external USB storage device connection. This is facilitated by one USB 3.0 Type-C and two USB 3.0 ports.



Networking of the ZOTAC specialty is realized through the gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) port and a module of 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.2 wireless interfaces. The combo 3.5 mm audio jack allows linking speakers or headphones, and HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 interfaces let connect monitors. Besides, VESA mounting is …

PowerColor decided to rouse the curiosity of those customers who would like to enhance their gaming experience by total silence. In contrast to the majority of contemporary gaming graphics adapters which employ powerful, and not infrequently, noisy air-coolers, the new solution from PowerColor, model Radeon HD 7850 SCS3, employs noiseless passive cooling system. Unfortunately, the company does not unveil any data concerning an official presentation, release date or approximate price of the product. Nonetheless, the first online appearance is called to raise positive suspension.



PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 SCS3 will be furnished with a two-slot cooler consisting of several heatsink blocks with a large dissipation area. Those blocks include a range of aluminum plates, joint by a complex heat pipe system. A ramified heat pipe scheme plays a key role here, since it accelerates the transition of heat from GPU to the heatsinks. No other specifications are available so far. Still, the …
