ECS decided to tackle the problem of sameness, developing a new motherboard on the basis of Intel NM70 Express chips. The implementation exactly of these chips makes the board a pioneer in its product class. ECS NM70-I is designed in mini-ITX form factor and houses Intel Celeron 847/807 CPU. The latter consumes only 17W of power to add the board power-efficient properties. Such approach to layout secures a harmonious balance between performance parameters and price ranges, and is an ideal match for compact PC systems.



Irrespective of the initial motherboard's compact dimensions, the manufacturer stipulated expansion opportunities if the user finds such a need in future employment. The availability of 1x PCI Express slot x16, SATA 3Gb/sec and 6Gb/sec sockets promote for the unimpeded upgrade of video system and data storage devices. ECS NM70-I facilities allow the customer to play back high-contrast HD and Blue-Ray multimedia content. Moreover, ECS equips its board with two …

American vendor XFX is about two weeks to release a Radeon 7970 Edition Double Dissipation (model code — FX-797G-TDF). It combines the capabilities of GPU Tahiti XT2 with a higher overclocking potential and the TDP, rather than at Tahiti XT, PCB reference design, but without a single phase power supply (6 +1), and the cooling system in the vaporizing chamber, an array of aluminum fins, PA plate (the same heatsink for the VRM and memory), as well as the two fans standard size 90 mm.



New model will get the recommended for the Radeon HD 7970 GE frequency ratio 1000/6000 MHz for core and chips GDDR5. The graphics chip will operate at 1050 MHz in the load. Recall that the “usual” HD 7970 was limited to regular frequencies 925/5500 MHz and did not support dynamic overclocking.


The configuration of video outputs is almost standard: from the five of DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI and 2x Mini DisplayPort for some reason excluded DVI-D. The additional power is supplied by one 8-pin and one …

The Taiwan Enermax Company has launched a tradition to produce illuminated products and it goes to keep to it this year.



One of such novelties is the Mid-Tower Saberay PC case, the name of which is associated with its exterior, featuring two bright lines, stretching from the upper and back panels junction to the lower part of the front side, grid segments on the front and upper panels, as well as a big tempered glass window on the left side. It provides a possibility to observe the glaring backlighting of inner parts.


Inner part is divided into two sectors. According to forward estimates it is going to hold 6 fans. The framework offers mounting seats for ATX, Mini-ITX or Micro-ATX motherboards, seven PCI Express expansion cards, several 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives, one 5.25-inch device and an ATX-compatible power supply unit. For the purpose of cooling inner components 120–360 mm liquid-cooling system heatsinks can be utilized.


The interface is represented by two …
