The company Lian Li announced the launch of a new computer case — PC-V650. New made is entirely made of aluminum and is designed to fit motherboard ATX and Micro-ATX, but because of non-standard side location of the power supply, it is lower than most peers.



Power supply (maximum length is limited to 230 mm) is mounted in the lower right side of the case — exactly opposite of expansion cards. In terms of composition and temperature regime the model is controversial, but it allows reducing the height. On the other hand, the case has turned out quite wide. In general, new dimensions can be expressed by the formula 427 x 251 x 360 mm, provided with seven slots for expansion cards.

Lian Li PC-V650 allows setting a standard size 5.25 ODD and eleven drives: seven 3.5-inch and four 2.5 inch. Bottom basket for hard drive is made removable: if to take it out, there is the possibility to use graphic card up to 370 mm. Regarding the maximum height of CPU cooler, it is 120 mm.

Asus has just introduced Turbo GeForce GTX 1080 videocard with etalon frequencies & a modified cooler. The model is developed on Nvidia GP104-400 GPU (2560 CUDA, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs) that operates at 1607/1733 MHz frequency. The integrated GDDR5 memory (8 GB, 256-bit interface, 320 Gb/sec bandwidth) runs at 10 GHz frequency.



The card is coated in a dark-gray cover with logo illumination. The PCB is designed with the help of Auto-Extreme technology as well as Super Alloy Power II hardware. The other peculiar feature is a totally revamped cooling system. As distinct from the etalon model, the Turbo version employs a single fan, based on dual ball-bearings, which pushes hot air away from the GPU.


The greenhorn comes equipped with a pair of HDMI ports for the connection of various devices, including VR-helmets. There are also DVI-D and DisplayPort 1.4 ports. The PCB features a single 8-pin power connector. Asus Turbo GeForce GTX 1080 supports GPU Tweak II & Xsplit Gamecaster …

The SilverStone RVZ01-E model has been further developed into the compact Raven RVZ03 (SST-RVZ03B) sample with the awesome appearance due to its full-colour backlighting.



The new chassis holds a mini-DTX or a mini-ITX system card, an ATX power supply unit and up to four 2.5-inch drives. At the same time, it offers enough space for 330 mm expansion cards (including those, taking two slots). The maximum allowable height of the CPU cooling device is equal to 83 mm, the power unit length – 150 mm. However, the manufacturer suggests using 140 mm (or shorter) power sources with modular wiring systems and flatform cables.


In this case, which can be oriented vertically or horizontally, two 120 mm fans with the 1,500 rpm rotary speed are already installed and the third one can be also mounted.


The I/O panel has a couple of USB 3.0 ports, as well as jacks for a mic and headphones. The case, costing 98 EUR, weighs 4.05 kg and possesses the 382 x 105 x 350 mm dimensions.
