Not long ago the ADATA vendor announced the gaming XPG Gammix D10 DDR4 mem series, including devices with the 2,400, 3,800 and 3,000 MHz effective frequency, CL16 and CL17 latency timings, 1.2 and 1.35 V voltage patterns, and black and red heatsinks. ADATA XPG Spectrix D40 DDR4 RGB specialties, constructed specifically for Intel LGA2066 and AMD AM4 desktop platforms, possess the striking design as well as strong performance qualities.



The production of these novelties presupposes the use of 10-layer PCB boards and high-end DDR4 memory chips. All XPG Spectrix D40 DDR4 RGB modules have black and red radiators with the XPG logo and multi-coloured inbuilt backlighting, which can be synchronized with the mother card, GPU and cooler due to the ASUS Aura Sync technology support. The dimensions of the devices are the following: 138.9 × 7.6 × 47.3 mm.


The Spectrix D40 products list contains four different 8 GB modules and the same number of two- and four-channel memory sets (16 GB …

Taking into account increasing needs of gamers and enthusiasts in a reliable power supply for gaming and multi-GPU systems, Thermaltake decided to replenish its Toughpower Grand series of PSUs with two new models. The 1050 W and 1200 W units feature a totally modular design and boast 80Plus Gold certificate, demonstrating up to 93% efficiency on workload. In order to vindicate durability, the company delivers the couple with a 7-year’s limited warranty.



Thermaltake Toughpower Grand devices accommodate high-quality hardware base, including 100% Japanese solid-state capacitors with a vast range of operational temperatures (up to 105 degrees). Both models come with a single +12V bus and handy ribbon cables. The 3 OZ Copper PCB implies the implementation of triple copper layer in the base of the PCB; this reduces heating and simultaneously enhances performance.


Both units are known to support C6 and C7 power-saving modes for Intel Haswell processors. In addition, they are …

MSI has finally gladdened its gaming fans with a new ‘golden’ graphics card, entitled GTX 970 Gaming 4G Golden Edition. The model is based on Nvidia’s GM204-200-A1 GPU (Maxwell architecture) with 1644 CUDA cores, 104 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 13 SMM units. Connection with visual devices might be realized via dual DVI ports, a single HDMI, and one DisplayPort.



Thanks to the support of MSI Gaming App, users are free to select one of the working modes: Silent, Gaming or OC. Each of them is differentiated by nominal and dynamic clock frequencies, Hereby, in Silent mode this adapter runs at 1051 MHz/1178 MHz (nominal/dynamic); Gaming mode provides for 1140 MHz/1279 MHz frequency, while OC allows increasing both indices up to 1165 MHz/1317 MHz correspondingly.


The integrated GPU cooperates with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory (256-bit interface, 224 Gb/sec throughput index). Its nominal clock frequency makes up 1751 MHZ, but its efficient index rises up to 7010 MHz.
