The launch of 3D media players with two operational systems triggered a real sensation among all potential customer groups. Those media players offered high-performance and cost-effective solutions for home use which could not but rejoice enthusiasts and gamers. Developers from 3Q company introduce their new media player F370HW called to satisfy the needs of the most fastidious users. The player took some characteristics integrated in other products, although it’s able to offer a dozen of fresh solutions.



Design and Framework


Media player F370HW casing is made of aluminum, except of the clipboard which is made of opaque plastic. LED-display, localized under the board glass, maps the current operational mode and the icons of all connected devices. The lower part of the clipboard is equipped with a single power button with blue highlight. The rear board is the place for multiple slots and sockets: one can find SD/SDHC memory card slot, four USB 2.0 sockets for the …

GeIL has announced the release of EVO X DDR4 Memory Kits and Modules for PCs equipped with motherboards based on the Intel X99 and Z170 chipsets.



The key speciality of these products is the GeIL HILM (Hybrid-Independent-Light-Module). These entirely independent solutions feature LEDs, a microcontroller, a mode select switch and two power supply connectors.


On one side of modules there is a 12 volt 4-pin slot for establishing a connection with LED strips on the motherboard. It enables adjustment of the backlighting. Compatibility with MSI Mystic Light, ASUS Aura and Gigabyte Ambient LED systems is provided. On the other side of modules one can see a 9/12 volt 2-pin slot, which makes it possible to choose one of the lighting modes with the help of the switch.


The EVO X memory is presented as separate 4, 8 or 16 GB modules and as kits, containing two such products. The frequency range is 2,133–4,133 MHz. The supply voltage equals to 1.2 or 1.35 v. Novelties are …

Ever since with the light touch of the VIA Technologies the Mini-ITX motherboard standard has entered the consumer market, ample opportunities have opened up for fans of compact computer systems. However, the main problems of the still new form factor were quickly identified then. The most painful among them were issues of components compatibility (which were all produced for a more common ATX format), the problem of their cooling and, of course, the complete absence of sane small cases capable of taking such systems in.


In solving problems with the chassis, the industry initially chose two parallel paths. On the one hand, tiny boxes supplied with an external power supply were put into production. The maximum that they were able to accept was the processors from VIA and Intel with TDP not more than 20 watts. On the other hand, cases where it would be possible to assemble a good game system based on the Mini-ITX motherboard were created. But in size, they often reached the …
