Aerocool Advanced Technologies is going to launch a new lineup of 140/120 mm system fans, entitled Dead Silence. As seen from the title, the products are distinguished by absolutely noiseless operation. However, this is not the only attraction. The lineup is introduced by bicolor models with black frames and white/blue/red/black mounting components. Four onboard LED backlight add to the fans’ aesthetic effect.



All the fans are designed on a hydrodynamic bearing that is able to run approximately 100.000 hours on end. All of them are connected to the motherboard by means of a 3-pin connector. The blades are made of two different materials (rubber and plastic), whereas their reverse side features a dedicated Fish-eye design. It provides for the minimization of turbulence. Moreover, four rubber clamps on the frame’s edges terminate the vibration and noise.


To proceed with the peculiarities, Aerocool Dead Silence fans of 120 mm dimensional type rotate at the maximal 1200 …

Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) presents its novelty – a compact computer, named LIVA Z Plus(Ver ZE). This device of a small form factor is put into the 117 × 128 × 51 mm framework.



The specialty by ECS is built on the Intel Kaby Lake architecture and operated by Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Windows 10 operating systems. Depending on the modification, Core i5-7300U, Core i5-7200U, Core i3-7100U or Celeron 3965U processors are applied. The DDRR4 internal memory of up to 32 GB (in the form of two SO-DIMM modules) capacity can be installed.


The nettop may be equipped with a solid-state module of the М.2 (2242) format. Direct graphics interface specification includes HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort. There are three USB 3.0 Type-A connectors and there is one USB Type-C port. Two sequential ports are present, too. Wireless connectivity is ensured by Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0 controllers. The device is supplied with the dual port Gigabit LAN network adapter and interfaces, …

Arctic Cooling AG, a well-known Swiss developer of cooling solutions, has recently introduced its newest CPU cooler, Freezer, in two modifications: i11 and A11. Both versions have got tower-like framework, featuring 108x90x130 mm dimensions. The Freezer i11 is compatible with Intel LGA 2011/1156/1155/1150 socket platforms, whereas its companion is intended for AMD Socket FM1, FM2, AM3, AM3+, AM2, and AM2+. To say more, this pair is able to cool down the ‘blaze’ of CPUs with 150 W TDP.



Arctic Freezer i11/A11 consists of an aluminum heatspreader with forty-five plates, three U-shape copper heatpipes, and one 92 mm fan. The heatpipes are thought to support direct contact technology that dramatically improves heat transfer process.


The implemented fan is developed on a fluid dynamic bearing and is equipped with a PWM controller. The latter assures that the blades could change their rotational speed within the ranges from 500 RPM to 2000 RPM. Herein, the maximal airflow …
