Sparkle Computer, a Taiwanese supplier of graphics solutions and consumer electronics, has released two 3D graphics cards simultaneously. The two models have been codenamed Calibre X680 Captain and Calibre X670 Captain. Both cards are based on Nvidia GK104 GPUs developed under 28 nm standards. The chief peculiarity of the products is the integration of extraordinary cooler CoolPro; the uncommonness is seen in the localization of three fans that found their places under the radiator. This radiator is connected with the base, which is in direct touch with GPU, by means of six heat pipes.



Calibre X680 Captain and Calibre X670 Captain are equipped with DisplayPort, DVI, DVI-D, and HDMI video outputs. Graphics cards employ PCI Express 3.0 interface and support DirextX 11 interface, as well as, such Nvidia technologies as CUDA, PhysX, 3D Vision, and 3D Vision Surround. They are also notable for the availability of eight-phase voltage regulators and the enhanced depth of ground on the …

Thermaltake, a world-known producer of thermal solutions, chassis and PSU, has officially presented its new CPU cooler modification, codenamed BigTyp Revo. This model has already been introduced at Computex 2012 where it got a lot of encouraging reviews and good prospects for the sale campaign. BigTyp Revo is considered to be an efficient solution for the cooling down of the around-socket spacing due to the horizontal radiator localization. Thermaltake representatives underline that their new product is compatible with Intel (LGA775/1155/1156/1366/2011) and AMD (Socket AM2(+)/AM3(+)/FM1) platforms.



BigTyp Revo framework consists of a compact radiator, low-noise fan, five heat pipes and a set of aluminum plates. The new model has got an aluminum base and is furnished with five copper heat pipes (6 mm each). Each of the pipes directly 'gets in touch' with the CPU surface, providing an outstanding heat removal power. The top of the radiator accommodates 120 mm fan which can be …

Kolink has announced the Observatory chassis, aimed at assembling desktop systems with rather strict, though eye-catching outer appearance.

 

The novelty, performed in black, possesses the front and one side panels out of smoked tempered glass 4 mm thick. The case encloses four 120 mm fans, supplied with the multi-coloured RGB-backlighting, three of which are located on the front, and one – at the rear. Users may also add two 120 mm coolers in the top part.

 

This framework presupposes the utilizing of E-ATX (up to 279 mm wide), ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. There also are mounting seats for seven expansion cards. The length of discrete graphics accelerators should not overcome 390 mm. Besides, the Observatory chassis is able to house two drives of the 3.5” or 2.5” form factor. In the case of liquid cooling system applying one may install 240 mm heatsinks at the front and atop, while the CPU cooler is …
