ASRock is about to launch a small-sized gaming mainboard based on Z170 chipset. The Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX is developed in mini-ITX form-factor to fit compact PC systems. The model is differentiated by the implementation of High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that is called to absolutely eliminate the possibility of short circuit in case of prolonged humidity. The board also strikes the eye by an outstanding black-and-red styling.



ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming-ITX supports 6th-gen Intel LGA1151 CPUs. The PCB involves 8-phase VRM system and high-quality hardware. The range of included components boasts premium power chokes 60A, dual-stack MOSETs and supreme 12K Nichicon capacitors with 12000 hours lifespan. The model features a couple of slots for DDR4-4000 MHz memory modules, a single PCI-e 3.0 x16 slot, one mini-PCI-e slot, two SATA III ports, and one SATA Express port.


This motherboard is known to support configurations with three monitors. To ensure the maximal …

The ELSA vendor has introduced the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB LP video card, intended for compact systems with tight inner space, like home media streamers. Its dimensions are defined to be 169 × 68.9 × 33 mm.



The novelty is a low-profile product, taking two expansion slots and featuring the cooling system with a couple of fans. This graphics accelerator is based on the 14 nm Pascal GP107 chipset. It offers 768 streaming processors, 48 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The 4 GB GDDR5 memory with the 128-bit bus is utilized.


The specialty by ELSA operates at reference frequencies. Its base clock equals 1,290 MHz and its boosted clock is 1,390 MHz; the memory frequency reaches 7,000 MHz.


One should note, that this graphics card doesn’t require auxiliary power. It is supplied with three connectors, providing image output – namely the DisplayPort 1.2, Dual link DVI-D and HDMI 2.0b interfaces.
