A few months after the last release of water-cooling systems, Zalman introduces a new series of products with a title attribute LQ3xx. The series consists of three models, LQ320, LQ315 and LQ310, which differentiate themselves primarily by dimensions. The senior cooler (LQ320) features 32 mm water block and 52 mm heatsink, the medium LQ315 cooler features 38 mm heatsink and analogous in dimensions water block; the junior cooler (LQ310) is the tiniest one and features 28 mm heatsink and water block. Zalman LQ315 greatly resembles its predecessor, CNPS20LQ, in design, however, is ready to offer some improved options, if compared with the previous cooler generations.



Design and Framework


Like any other water-cooling system, Zalman LQ315 consists of a water block combined with a pump and joined with a heatsink by means of flexible tubes. The water block is notable by the availability of 'Z' logo on its surface that is lighted blue during operation. Its round base, made of …

A couple of days ago AMD introduced a new series of DDR3 memory kits within the boundaries of AMD Unified Gaming Strategy development. Codenamed AMD Radeon RG2133, the new-comers are available in two- and four-channel kits, the overall capacity of which equals to 16 GB and 32 GB correspondingly. The most striking feature is that they can be employed as on AMD, so on Intel platforms, supporting AMD AMP and Intel XMP technologies for improved settings optimization.


The other peculiarity is that these memory kits run at 2133 MHz frequency. On such conditions there is always a chance to dramatically increase the system performance up to 22% (with APU AMD A10 on board). Herewith, voltage index equals to 1.65 V, while latency index looks the following way: 10-11-11-30. Memory chips are cooled down by the forces of a high-quality aluminum heatspreader. Its design is called to ensure a stable operation in response to the increased frequencies.


There is one more advantageous …

Enthusiasts are in anticipation of the iGame GTX 1080 Ti Vulcan X OC video card retail launch, which is coming soon. The highlight of this Colorful product is the LCD-display on the cooler case reflecting key operational options of the device.



iGame GTX 1080 Ti Vulcan X OC is based on the NVIDIA GP102 processor with Pascal architecture. The profile of this 16 nm specialty includes 3,584 streaming processors, 224 TMUs, as well as 88 ROPs. The GDDR5X memory capacity comes up to 11 GB.


The Colorful graphics card obtained the striking factory overclock. The adapter GPU clock is 1,480 MHz, and the boost clock equals to 1,582 MHz. The novelty works at the 1.6 GHz basic frequency, however, the ultimate clock speed is 2 GHz.


A powerful cooler with three 92 mm fans and six heat pipes ensures proper chilling of this graphics accelerator. Thus, we can assume, that this product weighs much.


Unfortunately, we have no data about the cost of iGame GTX 1080 Ti Vulcan X OC.
