Manli Technology has released an accelerator with a long name – Manli GeForce GTX 1080 Ti with Blower Fan. The M-NGTX1080TI/5RIHPPP specialty is based on the Nvidia PCB with a 7+2 phase power supply.



The cooler fundamental part and radiator fins are manufactured out of aluminium. The heatsink is divided into two sections (for a GPU and a power system); a blower fan is in between. The cooling element cover design resembles ocean waves. In the whole, the cooling system occupies two expansion slots, regarding the 282 х 126 х 42 mm dimensions of the card.


The device features 1,480–1,582 MHz frequency rate for a core and 11,010 MHz for the GDDR5X memory chip (the bus width is 352 bits).An HDMI and three DisplayPort ports serve for the image output. 6- and 8-pin PCI-E Power connectors ensure auxiliary power.


The Manli GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card will be on sale soon at the $700 tentative price.

The lineup of graphics cards designed by HIS has been replenished with a new Radeon R7 260 model. Entitled HIS R7 260 iCooler 1GB GDDR5, the new-comer employs a typical PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface and comes with etalon clock frequencies. The R7 260 GPU (GCN, 28 nm) with 768 CUDA cores runs at 1000 MHz. It is accompanied by 1 GB of GDDR5 memory (128-bit bus) that operates at 1500 MHz/ 6000 MHz typical/effective frequency.



This adapter receives power through one 6-contact connector. Connectivity with PC monitors is realized due to three video ports: DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-I. GPU and memory modules are cooled down by the forces of iCooler. It is not differentiated by an offbeat design; it consists of an aluminum heatsink and one low-profile fan.


Still, it offers acoustic convenience while fulfilling standard tasks: the maximal noise level does not exceed the limit of 28 dB. A supplementary aluminum heatspreader can be found in power supply section.

News about the forthcoming release of the updated motherboard Sabertooth 990FX was voiced by Asus earlier this year. Nevertheless, the release of long-awaited motherboard has been delayed till mid August, and these days the product can be already found in the market. Primarily, Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 is notable for the availability of OS Windows 8 conformance certificate.



The updated motherboard is compatible with AM3 and AM3+ processors and boasts a bunch of advanced solutions. Among the most striking innovations implemented by Asus, the substitute of old-fashioned JMicron JMB362 controller by a more progressive controller from ASMedia added to the board's functionality. In addition, the manufacturer supplemented the layout with one more ASMedia ASM1042 controller that allowed to integrate USB 3.0 interface. The implemented in earlier version micro scheme Realtek RTL8111E has been also substituted by RTL8111F scheme; at the same time, IEEE 1394a interface has been totally …
