The market of computer components is growing rapidly. The developers of processors integrate in them elements of system logic, graphics core and other components that were recently placed on the motherboard in the form of individual chips. Motherboard manufacturers have begun to integrate their products with network and sound chips even earlier. All this allows making motherboards, and as a result, systems based on them more compact. The company Lian-Li have understood this tendency and provided the market with the entire line of compact hull designed for motherboard size Mini-ITX.



Consider the model Lian-Li PC-Q25:

— Hull Type — Mini-Tower;

— Dimensions in mm — 280 (H) x 199 (W) x 366 (D);

— Material – Aluminium;

— Weight, kg — 3.1;

— Color: Black / White;

— Form Factor — Mini-ITX/Mini-DTX;

— Devices 3.5 "/ 2.5" internal — 7/3;

— Supported number of expansion cards – 2;

— Fans 1x 140mm, 1x 120mm;

The GIGABYTE Co. presents the latest version of the GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8G graphics accelerator, which got the GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD rev2 reference designation.



The novelty is based on the 16 nm NVIDIA GP104 chipset with the Pascal architecture. This GIGABYTE product features 1,920 streaming processors, 120 texture units and 64 ROPs. The chipset supports 8 GB of the GDDR5 memory with the 256-bit bus and the 8,008 MHz frequency. Two operation modes are available, they are Gaming Mode and OC Mode. In the first case the base clock is 1,594 MHz, and the boost clock equals 1,784 MHz. In the OC Mode these values correspond to 1,620 MHz and 1,822 MHz.


The accelerator card is supplied with the RGB Fusion backlighting, offering various effects and the possibility to choose among 16.8 mln of shades. There is a backplate at the rear. The video card is chilled by the highly productive WindForce 3X cooling system with heat pipes and three fans, which break off work at little …

Transfer efficiency of the thermal energy flux from the CPU to the cooling liquid in the circuit depends on the water unit. The AlphaCool Company, being famous for its liquid-cooling system components, has presented a new water units series, called Eisblock XPX. They’ll take the place of the previous model, NexXxoS XP3. The series of Eisblock XPX water blocks will be released on the market featuring various colour schemes, including the mountings colour. The manufacturer has taken into account the latest trends.



In new models the heat-exchange zone microchannel structure is refined: the fin spacing is reduced to 0.2 mm, and the fins number has grown up to 81. Thus, the heat-exchange area has become larger. The brand Ramp technology is applied to the heat-exchanger, which guarantees the absence of the coolant flow vorticity and its steady passing through the microchannels zone. At the same time the hydraulic circuit has been optimized to diminish flow resistance. Eisblock XPX …
