The launch of graphics solutions with WindForce 5X cooling system stirred a real boom in the market, giving a special tribute to the products developed by Gigabyte. The company launched two adapters this summer with the implementation of WindForce 5X system and now introduces one more card on its basis. Model Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 Super Overclock can be called a paragon of efficient performance, overclocking and cooling activities.



Design


Graphics card GeForce GTX 680 Super Overclock features 295x120x64 mm dimensions and rather unusual design. Instead of common fans on the frontal board Gigabyte covered PCB and elements of cooling system by a metallic cover with decorative holes; the rear board is also covered by a metallic plate. The top board is only partially covered by the lid that hides a line of five fans, while the bottom board unveils a voluminous heatsink with heatpipes. The implemented circuit board is originally designed with a reinforced power supply …

The Samsung Co. presented the latest C34H890 monitor, suitable for multitask systems.



The novelty possesses a VA matrix. This 34'' curved screen features the 3440 × 1440 pixels resolution and the 21:9 aspect ratio. The response time is equal to 4 ms, and viewing angles are 178 degrees. The product also ensures 300 cd/m2 brightness, 3000:1 contrast and 99.5 % of sRGB colour gamut coverage.


The AMD FreeSync solution ensures the frame rate synchronization process. Picture-By-Picture, Picture-In-Picture, as well as Flicker Free technologies are supported.


Connectivity options include a USB 3.0 hub (plus a symmetrical USB Type-C port), DisplayPort and HDMI interfaces, alongside with a standard 3.5 mm audio jack. The stand allows to customize inclination and display turning angles and modify its height in relation to a desk surface.


The price and market launch date of Samsung C34H890 are unknown yet.

The Hydro PTM+ power supply by FSP has received the status of the off-the-shelf product? Which will supposedly go for $699. As a bonus FSP added specially braided cables and missing liquid cooling system elements (a 120 mm heatsink, a fan of the same size, a container, a pump and a pair of transparent tubes) to the first 500 Hydro PTM+ sets.



The 80 PLUS Platinum certified 1,200 W novelty ensures steady operation at the 1400 W load. To perform overclock it’s necessary to connect Hydro PTM+ to the liquid cooling system. The 135 mm fan is built on the fluid bearing and supplied with the RGB LED-backlighting. Colour effects may be synchronized with the motherboard and a video card.

 

This power supply is 200 mm long. It features high-temperature condensers, two voltage converters, current overload, overvoltage, overheating, as well as short failure tools. The performance factor of the device is not less than 92 % at 20–100 % of …
