Thermalright boasts the release of a new CPU cooler AXP-100. The new arrival is targeting small-sized PC systems, featuring 121x105.5x58 mm dimensions. Similar to other items that take responsibility for proper CPU cooling, this model is able to provide an efficient heat extraction from processor surface and its surrounding crucial components. It is compatible with the majority of AMD and Intel sockets to guarantee its universal utilization. Hence, it supports AMD FM1, FM2, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, and Intel LGA (2011, 1366, 1156, 1155, 775) platforms.



Thermalright decided not to apply the so popular nowadays 'direct contact' technology, implying the direct contact of CPU cover with heat pipes. Instead, the cooler's framework has been given a bit different approach.


Model AXP-100 consists of a copper, nickel-plated base, six copper heat pipes, a set of aluminum ribs located parallel to the motherboard, and an atypical in its nature fan TY-100. The heatpipes spring from the …

Welcome the latest singleboard PC from Orange –Pi Prime, which can be called a successor of the last year's Orange Pi PC 2 model. Common peculiarities include the components layout and SoC Allwinner H5, possessing four Cortex A53 cores and Mali-450MP4 GPU.



Now DDR3 memory is doubled and equals to 2 GB. There is no eMMC module; and the microSD memory card of 64 GB capacity can be used for data storing. Audio and video interfaces are represented by the CEC-compliant HDMI 1.4, a composite port and a mic. The Gigabit Ethernet port is accompanied by the wireless module with support of Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0.


The specialty also features one micro USB and three USB 2.0 ports. Power can be supplied through USB or an appropriate connector from the 5 V, 2 A adapter Among other specs users can find a MIPI CSI connector, 40 outputs supporting Raspberry Pi, a three-pin UART, an IR-receiver, as well as a reset key and a power switch.

A new PSU series, codenamed GS (Green Star), has replenished a line of products designed by Huntkey. This series is particularly targeting gamers, providing for the prime facilities and reliability. The models included into the lineup (GS550 and GS450) are equipped with two +12V buses and exclusively high-quality components that promote for the 82% PSU efficiency level. Both models house a 120 mm low-noise fan which is notable by the variable rotational speed.



Upon the whole, Huntkey GS series corresponds to ATX12V V2.3 standard and supports AMD and Intel CPUs. Both models are compatible with graphics adapters designed by Nvidia and AMD. They feature Active PFC which ensures true reliability on different loading conditions. The average time period of foolproof work is estimated at fifty thousand hours. Besides, both units have undergone two types of testing: high voltage and forced failure tests.


GS450 model operates at 200-240VA (50-60Hz) voltage and at nominal 350W. The …
