The Swiftech company, which produces liquid cooling system components, announced the full cover water block for the NVIDIA TITAN X video card market release. This new product was called Komodo NV-ECO GTX TITAN X, though, the “GTX” part is misplaced, as far as the actual card (unlike the old GM200 core TITAN X) on the GP102 chip doesn’t contain in its name the prefix GeForce GTX.



This cooler is produced out of C110 class chromed copper and acryl. The water unit dimensions are: 268(L) × 122(W) × 19(H) mm, weight — 1.247 kg.

There is a little protrusion in a contact plate according to the NVIDIA GP102 core shape, 0,5 mm thick thermal pads for heat rejection from power system transistors and GDDR5X memory chips. Note: Swiftech professionals have already inserted material lines, so users don’t have to do it themselves.


This cooler’s layout is rather simple, though the microplates array presence in the GPU area should be admitted.

At first sight, a new chassis from SilverStone speaks about the belonging to high-end segment. Its expressive design and multiple facilities are a rather persuasive evidence for those customers who would like to get a qualitative product. Still, SilverStone SST-RL01 is distinguished by a moderate price, lack of some 'high-end' attributes, and quite modest delivery pack. This gives evidences that the model belongs to budgetary solutions. Despite this fact, SST-RL01 might satisfy all needs of not versed audience.

MSI announced a new graphics accelerator – GeForce GT 1030 2GHD4 LP OC. The novelty is intended for modest-sized quiet computers and household multi media centers.

 

Based on the GP108-310 graphics chipset, this device features 384 streaming processors (CUDA cores), the 1,189 MHz base clock and 1,430 MHz, when boosted. One should note, though, that this card utilizes the DDR4, not GDDR5, memory, like standard GeForce GT 1030 products. The memory is 2 GB (64-bit bus) in volume and operates at the 2,100 MHz frequency.

 

The main peculiarity of this MSI specialty is its passive cooling system, relying on a big radiator. Owing to this, the video card doesn’t produce noise during work. Besides, the maker manufactures its specialty in a low-profile format with such dimensions: 150 × 69 × 38 mm.
