Introduction

All over the world this company is well known to computer enthusiasts, first of all, as a professional manufacturer of RAM. In the assortment of the company, we are interested in the DDR4 Super Luce modules from the Gaming Series. In the design of these kits, iLUCE Thermal-beaming technology is used, the main purpose of which is to visualize the temperature regime of the modules. The rate of pulsation of the illumination varies with the increase of the temperature. The models are equipped with illumination of various colors.

The manufacturer has kits from two or four modules with a volume of 4, 8 and 16 GB. The frequencies of the sets are from 2133 to 3866 MHz. Also, you can choose options for highlighting: blue, red, white or RGB. But this is not all: there are modules with both black and white textolite. In addition, the radiator itself can be black or white. These options within a single line can not be found at all manufacturers.

ASRock enters the mainboard market with a new micro-ATX solution, entitled QC5000M. The greenhorn takes Kabini platform as the basis, featuring AMD A4-5000 hybrid processor (28 nm) with 4 Jaguar cores and 1.5 GHz clock frequency. The APU is accompanied by two slots for one-channel DDR3-1600 MHz RAM (up to 32 GB) and an integrated AMD Radeon HD 8330 graphics (500 MHz clock frequency, compatibility with DirectX 11.1 standard).



The implemented APU boasts 15 W TDP only, requiring a small-sized heatsink for efficient cooling. The model takes power via 24-pin ATX connector and is based on AMD A68 chipset. It is equipped with a single PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, a pair of PCI Express 2.0 x1 slots, and the same amount of SATA III 6 Gb/sec ports.


Network and audio facilities are represented by Realtek RTL8111GR Gigabit Ethernet controller and 7.1-channel Realtek ALC887 codec respectively. Additionally, the PCB is furnished with ELNA sound capacitors. The rear side of the motherboard …
