Deepcool is primarily renowned for its PC cooling solutions. Still, following the tendencies of portfolio diversification, the company decided to add chassis as well as PSUs to its production line. The latest DQ750 release proves that quality does not depend upon brand or device type. This model has already managed to receive 80Plus Gold certificate that witnesses its high ambitions. Let’s see what else this PSU can offer to an average user.



Brief Overview


Deepcool DQ750 is housed in a stylish case (150x160x86 mm dimensions) with a large formation coating. The availability of a blue LED backlight makes a dissonance with external layout. All basic parameters are recorded on the case itself. Hence, the model corresponds to ATX 12V v2.31 and SSI EPS 12V 2.92 standards. It features a single +12VDC bus that ensures 744 W power. The correlation of +12VDC bus and the maximal efficiency makes up 0.992. The PSU is able to operate within 100 V-240 V input voltage ranges at input …

The Colorful company has put a new product on the list of unconventional system boards. The name of the game is C.J1900A-BTC PLUS V20, which defines an extraordinary mother card for mining purposes.



The specialty features a unique construction with two separate sections available and no need for PCIe riser cables. At first glance it reminds a part of a PC-board with connectors, but not an ordinary main board. However, that is so when exploring the first part of the device. The second section represents an expansion board with the PCIe interface, holding a processor, a core memory slot and a set of required ports.



C.J1900A-BTC PLUS V20 allows to mount eight video cards. The board connected is based on the Intel Celeron J1900 CPU. One can install two drives using the SATA and mSATA ports. Among connectors present we may distinguish USB 2.0 (x2), HDMI and Gigait Ethernet (x2) interfaces.

Today we’ll have a glance at one of the ASUS Prime series motherboards. The model having A- index has all the necessary basic features, when nothing has yet been simplified, the power subsystem seems to be good enough and there are no additional controllers of any sort.
