SilverStone Technology, a celebrated Taiwanese PC hardware manufacturer, is going to release at the end of the current month its new mini-tower chassis codenamed SG10 that joined the SilverStone Sugo series. Featuring 354x295x220 mm dimensions, the novice is housed in a case made of stainless steel (totally black exterior and interior) with an aluminum frontal facet. The latter comprises a ventilation slot, covered by an anti-dust grid.



First of all, it should be noted that Sugo SG10 is predestined specifically for the assembling of small-sized but rather high-performance PC systems. The chassis is compatible with motherboards of mini-ITX/micro-ATX standard and is ready to welcome graphics adapters of up to 338 mm (length), PSUs of 180 mm (length), as well as CPU coolers of up to 165 mm (height). One of its key peculiarities is the localization of the power supply unit at the frontal part of the case, if compared with the majority of contemporary solutions with PSU bays at the …

The Cooler Master company released a processor cooler, called MasterAir MA410P.

 

The specialty can be utilized with a wide range of CPUs, among which one may distinguish the Intel LGA 2066/2011-v3/2011/1151/1150/1155/1156/1366 and AMD AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/FM2+/FM2/FM1 models.

 

The cooler design includes four heat pipes with the direct contact to the processor cover. Their diameter equals 6 mm. Besides, the cooler construction features an aluminium heatsink and a 120 mm fan, which is regulated by the PWM function. The rotary velocity of the fan is between 650 and 2000 rpm. The noise level does not overcome 30 dBA. The average time to failure stated is 160,000 hours.

 

The MasterAir MA410P fan is supplied with backlighting, supporting 16.7 million of colour shades. At the same time, ASUS AURA Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light Sync systems may be applied.

The stonewall in the tablet and mobile CPU segment is gradually mounting, with Intel and Nvidia increasing their influence and rivalry. Hence, Intel's developers claim that its latest tablet processor, two-core Atom Clover Trail, surpasses Nvidia's Tegra 3 in both performance and power consumption. To be precise, Clover Trail proves to be more efficient in a range of applications, but at the same time, it consumes power twice less than its counterpart. To exemplify such claims, Intel takes Imagination Technologies graphics that consumes less power than Tegra 3.



Numerous testing results conducted by Intel and some leading IT analysts demonstrate that Tegra 3 with four main cores and one additional core is slower that Clover Trail. Testing of performance and power consumption has been held on Microsoft Surface RT with Tegra 3 chip and Windows 8 tablet with Clover Trail chip. Nevertheless, Intel hasn't conducted any comparison in mobile OS from Google.
