Nowadays more and more PSU manufacturers tend towards a better acoustic ergonomics of their products. Sure thing this is linked with the desire of customers to have high-performance but quiet systems. There is small wonder that traditional power supplies are rather noisy, due to air fans, so the manufacturers invented a sophisticated solution: hybrid cooling. It presupposes two working modes: active — with fans on and passive — with fans off. Huntkey is one of the companies that successfully implemented this invention into proprietary devices. Its FX500SE is a good example of efficiency combined with quiet operation. Plus, it provides users with appropriate connectivity facilities.



General Specifications


Huntkey FX500SE features a typical for all middle-end products design, without any ingenuity claim. The unit is housed in a steel case of 150x86x140 mm dimensions with matte black coating. All cables are masked under a nylon sheath, adding more solidity to the model. …

At the same time, SlimHero is equipped with four copper heat pipes, a range of aluminum ribs, and 120 mm fan. The employment of copper in the design of heat pipes is to significantly increase heat transfer to the ribs. Moreover, their original shape ensures low resistance to airflow, resulting in a more efficient cooling process.


Gelid SlimHero demonstrates wide compatibility with a lump of present-day desktop platforms: AMD Socket FM1, FM2, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, as well as Intel LGA 775, 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366. According to Gelid …

Introduction


Recently the AMD company hasn’t produced anything of such a high level but cutting edge Radeon R9 Fury X accelerator card as it paid more attention to the middle and low-budget segment.

Basic Features


No doubt it is a great step forward if to compare with the previous «Polaris 10» and «Fiji» graphic cards. The high-bandwidth cache controller (HBCC) is a serious improvement for using with large asset sizes, but gamers will also appreciate it.Vega RX 56 and 64 have 8 GB of VRAM.Newcomers have the Vega 10 processor in their base. It is a silicon with 64 huge Compute Unit blocks, general potential of 4096 streaming processors and speed memory HBM of the second generation. Vega 10 Processor is grounded on the most progressive version of Graphics Core Next architecture, that of …
