The EK Water Blocks company, specializing in liquid cooling systems and relating components production, presents its EK-FB ASUS Strix X470 RGB Monoblock unit.

 

In the words of the Slovenian vendor, this water block is the first device, intended for system cards, built on the AMD X470 chipset. Specifically, the novelty is aimed at the Asus ROG Strix X470-F Gaming model and is designed to transfer heat away from the processing unit, mounted into the AM4 socket, and adjacent voltage controllers of the power supply subsystem. One should note that, owing to low hydraulic resistance, EK-FB ASUS Strix X470 RGB Monoblock may be utilized even with low voltage pumps.

 

This EKWB product has a copper nickel-plated base and a transparent acrylic cover. It also features full-colour backlighting, supporting the Asus Aura Sync technology.

 

EK-FB ASUS Strix X470 RGB Monoblock costs 140 EUR.

On the threshold of CES 2018 exhibition opening the Asus company announces a number of specialties анонсировала ряд новинок, among which one may notice a new docking station for an external graphics card connection. The device is called XG Station Pro.

 

The outer appearance belongs to the minimalistic style. The aluminium (in its most part) framework is equipped with two 120 mm fans with removable dust filters. There is enough space for one flagship 3D accelerator with the massive cooling system, taking 2.5 slots area. To make the process of video card installing more convenient the manufacturer has produced this device with two (side and upper) dismountable panels.

 

The video accelerator is powered from an EPU of the 330 W capacity, which is supposed to be quite enough for any 3D card. The Thunderbolt 3 interface and a suitable cable 1.5 m long allow linking this device to a PC or a laptop.

 

For now, the Asus XG Station Pro cost …

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 …
