Graphics cards, based on NVIDIA GP107 chipsets, are in great demand due to their reasonable “price-efficiency” correlation. With this in mind ASUS developed a couple of video adapters, namely the Dual GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB V2 (DUAL-GTX1050TI-O4G-V2) and Dual GeForce GTX 1050 OC 2GB V2 (DUAL-GTX1050-O2G-V2) models. The “Dual” term refers to the number of fans in the cooling system, not to the quantity of GPUs, as one might think.



The preinstalled cooler takes two expansion slots and includes a fancy aluminium radiator, a pair of 80 mm fans and a decorator cover. There is no backplate and no 6-pin PCI-E Power connector.


The Dual GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC 4GB V2 card operates 768 streaming processors, 48 TMU, 32 ROP, as well as a 128-bit memory bus, compatible with the 4 GB GDDR5 buffer store. The specialty’s core frequency is boosted from 1,290–1,392 MHz to 1,341–1,455 MHz, and VRAM chips reach effective 7 GHz clocks, which is a recommended value. The Dual …

The widely represented in the market a series of RAM sets Transcend aXeRam is now added with dual channel kit DDR3 of 8 GB with an effective frequency of 2133 and 2400 MHz. Modules are routinely equipped with aluminum radiators with high «scallops» and support overclocking profiles Intel XMP 1.3, actual for the processors Intel Ivy Bridge.



The package Transcend aXeRam DDR3-2133 2x 4 GB consists of two brackets with a combination of delay of memory 10-11-10-27 and moderate voltage 1.6 V. Overclocking enthusiasts will certainly prefer against it more productive Transcend aXeRam DDR3-2400 for the same amount. Timings have been raised in a given set up to 11-12-11-29, and default voltage — up to 1.65 V.


To increase the stability of the new items, they are made on an 8-layer PCB. Overclocking spirit of the tandem Transcend aXeRam DDR3-2133/2400 emphasizes the possibility of fine tuning by the utility aXeMod. In addition, aXeMod monitors the temperature of the memory.

Corsair officially launches a new lineup of air fans, entitled ML. The greenhorns are introduced in two form-factors – 120 mm & 140 mm – as well as in three types: ML, ML Pro, ML Pro LED. The first version includes a pair of fans in the kit, the second one supports anti-vibration rubber pads in corners, whereas the third series comes equipped with LED backlight (white, blue or red). Consequently, the price range varies from $24.99 to $39.99.



The key advantage of Corsair ML fans is the incorporation of Magnetic Levitation Bearing. Thanks to magnetic levitation, the fins do not touch the motor, thus eliminating any frictions. This serves for the reduction of noise level and the enhancement of performance.


All 120-mm models rotate at 400-2400 RPM speed; they are supposed to be ideal companions to CPU coolers. At the same time, all 140-mm fans rotate at 400-2000 RPM; they are thought to act perfectly as system fans. On top rotational index the fans produce up to 75-97 CFM …
