Current conjuncture in the market of drives proves that SSDs do not require special advertising. Their demand index rises every single day, along with the increasing supply. Corsair, a well-known manufacturer of various PC hardware solutions, has successfully 'assimilated' advanced LAMD LM87800 controllers, and developed two SSD items at once based on this controller. Codenamed Corsair Neutron and Corsair Neutron GTX, these drives are intended at different customer audiences. Both models feature similar internal layout, but differ in the integrated interfaces and memory types.



Specifications


Model Corsair Neutron is considered to be cheaper than GTX version, so its specifications are more modest. It employs MLC flash-memory type with ONFI interface developed under 25 nm technological process. Its companion, Corsair Neutron GTX, belongs to the high-end SSD echelon and employs MLC flash-memory type with Toggle Mode interface designed under 24 nm technological process. Both …

Micro-ATX/mini-ITX mainboards keep on capturing the market due to the augmentation of small-sized PC platforms. Against this background, Gigabyte is constantly enlarging its portfolio of compact motherboards. Take GA-B85M-D2V Plus alone. This model might boast an optimized functional and an improved audio subsystem combined with a sleek design and a range of protection doo-dads.



Gigabyte GA-B85M-D2V Plus takes Intel B85 chipset as the basis. The latter supports Socket LGA1150 CPUs (Pentium, Celeron, Intel Core). The company’s designers employed an improved fiberglass mode of superposition on elaboration of PCB textolite; this is called to protect the board from humidity, electrostatic discharge and voltage instability.


The board’s layout supports Ultra Durable 4 Plus design that involves only high-quality components, like solid-state capacitors, transistors with low open channel resistance. The PCB is equipped with two DIMM slots ready for 16 GB of DDR3 memory (1600 …

Together with a famous overclocker Vince Lucido EVGA company has prepared EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N Hydro Copper GAMING (11G-P4-6799-KR) – an innovative video card, which is able to meet expectations of the most affluent and exacting gamers.

 

The novelty is based on the NVIDIA GP102 (3,584 CUDAs) graphics processor, featuring the 1,582/1,695 MHz frequency pattern, which overcomes reference rates of 1,480/1,582 MHz. GPU is accompanied by 11 GB of the GDDR5X memory with the 11 GHz effective frequency. While possessing the 352-bit bus, the product ensures the 484 Gbps bandwidth capacity. The 10+3-phase power scheme is applied.

 

A copper waterblock, connected to the liquid cooling system circuit, entirely covers the PC-board and chills all inner components effectively. A backplate protects the device at the rear side. Besides, EVGA has integrated its brand iCX technology and installed 9 temperature sensors for monitoring.
