ASRock enters the market with another budget-oriented micro-ATX mainboard – the H110M-DS/Hyper (the recommended price makes up $60). The greenhorn is designed on Intel H110 chipset as well as ASRock Hyper BCLK Engine. The latter realizes the overclocking of Intel Skylake CPUs (for Socket LGA1151) by means of BCLK alteration; therewith, all other key nodes operate off-the-shelf.



ASRock H100M-DS/Hyper employs 4+1-phase power subsystem. The PCB accommodates 2x DIMM slots for DDR4-2133 MHz RAM with the maximal volume of 32 GB. Storage subsystem is represented by four SATA III ports, whereas expansion facilities include one PCIe 3.0 x16 and one PCIe 2.0 x1 ports.


Audio subsystem is governed by Realtek ALC887 controller and three 3.5-mm sockets. In its turn, network facilities are backed by Realtek RTL8111GR controller. Connectivity options embrace one RJ-45 port, one DVI video port, two PS/2 ports, and four USB ports for peripherals (both v 2.0 and v 3.0).

The Cooler Master Co. has announced the MasterAir MA620P CPU cooler, designed for powerful desktops, built on the base of AMD and Intel processing units.

 

The cooler has an extraordinary construction, being performed in the shape of a “skyscraper”. It possesses two aluminium heatsinks and two 120 mm MasterFan MF120R RGB fans. It is possible to install the third fan and, thus, enhance the forced-air cooling. Eventually propellers intersperse with heatsink assemblies to form the final framework.

 

The novelty features six copper heat pipes (6 mm in diameter), being directly connected to the CPU cover. The Continuous Direct Contact 2.0 (CDC 2.0) technology is applied, improving the efficiency of heat dissipation.

 

Fans’ rotary speed is PWM regulated in the range of 600–1800 rpm. The ultimate noise level equals 31 dBA, and the average time to failure declared is 160,000 hours. Propellers are equipped with RGB …

The ELSA vendor has introduced the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB LP video card, intended for compact systems with tight inner space, like home media streamers. Its dimensions are defined to be 169 × 68.9 × 33 mm.



The novelty is a low-profile product, taking two expansion slots and featuring the cooling system with a couple of fans. This graphics accelerator is based on the 14 nm Pascal GP107 chipset. It offers 768 streaming processors, 48 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The 4 GB GDDR5 memory with the 128-bit bus is utilized.


The specialty by ELSA operates at reference frequencies. Its base clock equals 1,290 MHz and its boosted clock is 1,390 MHz; the memory frequency reaches 7,000 MHz.


One should note, that this graphics card doesn’t require auxiliary power. It is supplied with three connectors, providing image output – namely the DisplayPort 1.2, Dual link DVI-D and HDMI 2.0b interfaces.


GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB LP will be available on sale at the beginning of November. It is …
