The Asus Co. was the first to introduce its own Radeon RX Vega 64 video card versions, while other vendors have only announced the master versions release. Asus has already announced two Asus ROG Strix series products – ROG Strix RX Vega 64 OC and ROG Strix RX Vega 64, differing in operating frequencies.



The graphics card is performed on the individual Asus design PC-board with enhanced power subsystem, more than 10 phases and two 8-pin power connectors. One can also use benefits of the DVI-D video output. The clock rate and the memory frequency remain unveiled yet.


ROG Strix RX Vega 64 products, like other last year Asus GPUs, obtained high-end cooling systems, featuring at least six heat pipes going through two big aluminium heatsinks and three fans. There is a reinforcement plate on the back side of the PCB.


ROG Strix RX Vega 64 OC and ROG Strix RX Vega 64 are to hit the shelves in the first half of September. Asus also plans to release Radeon RX Vega novelties …

The Cooler Master Taiwan Company has reported availability of Full-Tower Stryker SE and Trooper SE PC cases, introduced during the CES 2018 exhibition. The novelties represent renovated versions of the Storm Stryker and Storm Trooper frameworks, released over 5 years ago.

 

Stryker SE and Trooper SE obtained the side panel out of tempered glass and differ mostly in their colouring. The Stryker SE model is performed in black and white, while Trooper SE is entirely black. These specialties offer enough place for the XL-ATX motherboard, nine expansion cards, ATX compatible power supply, a two-slot video card, being installed vertically, five 2.5” and two 3.5” drives, alongside with one 5.25-inch device. The length of graphics adapters is not to overcome 322 mm, and the maximum height of the CPU cooler is 186 mm.

 

Customers have a possibility to mount four liquid cooling system heat sinks (one of the 360/280 mm, one of the 140 mm and two …

Spire has officially launched a new line of budgetary PC chassis, codenamed Spire Ridge. At the moment, there are only two models within the series – the Ridge 6601 and the Ridge 6602. Both are characterized by the support for ATX motherboards and have many other identical specifications: i.e. mid-tower form-factor, 192x415x418 mm dimensions. Still, there are some differentiations as well.



The first distinction between the two models lies in the frontal panel design. Therefore, Ridge 6601 features a laconic panel made of plastic without additional ventilation. In its turn, Ridge 6602 features a half-perforated metallic frontal panel that allows for a more intense cooling of internal components.


The couple boasts identical expansion facilities with two 5.25-inch buckets for optical drives, four 3.5-inch buckets for HDD/SSD, and seven expansion slots. Connectivity options are introduced by a set of frontal interfaces, including two audio slots, one USB 2.0, and one USB …
