The Sapphire Co. is a well-known supplier of baseboards for AMD CPUs, but the novelty from this vendor,
BP-FT3bGS, is distinguished due to the fact that it doesn’t support processors mounting. Instead the
manufacturer locates a G-line AMD SoC on it beforehand. Supposedly, it’s a GX-210KL or a GX-210HL
SoC with the 4.5 or 7 W TDP respectively. The difference lies in the DDR3-1333/DDR3-1066 memory
module support by a controller, as well as in the operating temperature range, which is 0–90°C/-
40–105°C).
Sapphire BP-FT3bGS is not big, 100 х 100 mm only, because the SoC is placed on the back side of the
board, where one can also find a radiator cooling system with two heat pipes. The specialty is meant to
be embedded into those devices, which earlier could operate AMD Geode based cards.
Two SODIMM slots can incorporate up to 16 GB of DDR3 RAM. The drive is linked to the mSATA port. A
mini PCI-e slot, two HDMI video …
SilverStone Technology, a well-known Taiwanese designer of PC peripherals, announces the release of its new powerful fan codenamed FHP141. The model features 140 mm dimensions and weighs not more than 220 g. It is chiefly intended at the integration into highly efficient CPU cooling systems to provide for the utmost cooling effect. However, the manufacturer hasn't voiced the exact release date or recommended price yet.
Deepcool can be boldly attributed to the manufacturers that are constantly improving their mastery is the elaboration of hardware components. The company’s second revision of CPU cooler Ice Blade Pro is a bright confirmation of this statement. Codenamed Ice Blade Pro v2.0, this product is supposed to exceed its predecessor in performance, noise level and consumer appeal. But let’s start its reviewing from technical peculiarities.
