Recently the ASUS Co. has replenished its range of small-sized computers with the VivoMini UN65U sample, operated by the Windows 10 OS and based on the Intel Kaby Lake hardware platform.



The top version is equipped with the Core i7-7500U processor, the chipset has two cores with the 2.7 GHz frequency, which dynamically increases to 3.5 GHz. The Intel HD Graphics 620 accelerator is also installed. The capacity of the DDR4-2133 memory may reach 32 GB.


This minicomputer may obtain a 1 TB 2.5-inch HDD and a 512 GB М.2 SSD. Optionally one can mount the latest Intel Optane memory.


Key specifications include Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac wireless adapters, alongside with a Gigabit Ethernet network controller. On the front users can see two USB 3.0 ports, at the rear – a couple of USB 3.0 ports, as well as HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces for displays connection and a jack for the network cable.


As far as this compact specialty weighs 0.7 kg only and has the …

Following the Top Flow CR-701 cooler Jonsbo introduces another processor cooler, which is a massive product under the CR-401 code name.

 

The specialty is performed in the shape of a tower, main parts of which are protected by the metal casing. The cooler is equipped with five copper heat pipes (6 mm in diameter), having direct contact with the CPU cover.

 

The heatsink consists of two aluminium plates blocks, separated by the 120 mm fan. Its rotary velocity is regulated via the usage of the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique in the range of 800–1,600 rpm. In the meanwhile, the noise level varies from 18 to 25 dBA.

 

The novelty features the RGB-backlighting, supporting 256 colour shades, functioning in automatic mode. Dimensions are 125 × 88 × 165 mm, and weight is around 860 g.

 

The latest Jonsbo cooler is claimed to be compatible with the Intel LGA775, LGA115x, AMD AM2(+), AM3(+), AM4, FM1 and FM2(+) …

Arctic Cooling AG, a well-known Swiss developer of cooling solutions, has recently introduced its newest CPU cooler, Freezer, in two modifications: i11 and A11. Both versions have got tower-like framework, featuring 108x90x130 mm dimensions. The Freezer i11 is compatible with Intel LGA 2011/1156/1155/1150 socket platforms, whereas its companion is intended for AMD Socket FM1, FM2, AM3, AM3+, AM2, and AM2+. To say more, this pair is able to cool down the ‘blaze’ of CPUs with 150 W TDP.



Arctic Freezer i11/A11 consists of an aluminum heatspreader with forty-five plates, three U-shape copper heatpipes, and one 92 mm fan. The heatpipes are thought to support direct contact technology that dramatically improves heat transfer process.


The implemented fan is developed on a fluid dynamic bearing and is equipped with a PWM controller. The latter assures that the blades could change their rotational speed within the ranges from 500 RPM to 2000 RPM. Herein, the maximal airflow …
