XFX has introduced its own version of Radeon HD 7990 — a top-tier graphics adapter from AMD. As distinct from the other companies that incorporated only some inconspicuous changes into their products, XFX has approached to the card’s modification with a violent zeal. As a result, today everyone has a chance of examining its Radeon HD 7990 Triple Dissipation card that employs two Tahiti XT GPUs, elaborated on Graphics Core next architecture.



Each Tahiti XT chip comes with 2048 stream processors and 3 GB of GDDR5 memory. This implies that the total memory capacity makes up 6 GB. GPUs run at 950 MHz clock frequency, but have the potential of achieving 1000 MHz frequency on overclocking. As for the memory, it employs 384-bit bus and runs at an efficient 6 GHz frequency.


To continue, all the components of Radeon HD 7990 Triple Dissipation are housed on an original PCB, designed by XFX. Connection with the PSU is realized via a pair of 8-contact power sockets. The rear …

At the moment one of the biggest trading platforms offers a new PC framework, namely Cooler Master MasterCase H500P, for preorder. The product was announced in June during the Computex 2017 event. It looks very stylish and has a transparent side window, as well as exoskeleton-like elements.



The novelty, performed in the Middle Tower form factor, is intended for E-ATX, ATX, microATX and Mini-ITX mother boards and allows vertical installation of two graphics cards. There are four mounting seats for drives (2 х 2.5" plus 2 х 3.5"). The CPU cooler should not be higher than 190 mm, and the graphics accelerator is not to be longer than 412 mm.


The Cooler Master MasterCase H500P chassis can house 120/140/240/280/360 mm fans, alongside with the water cooling system on the front and upper panels, and 120/140 mm fans at the rear. This product is supplied with a pair of preinstalled 200 mm LED-backlit fans on the front and one 140 mm fan on the back.

Mushkin Enhanced is about to launch a new series of top-tier SSDs within the framework of Reactor series. The series, represented by three models of 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB capacity, is targeting up-to-date gaming and high-performance systems. The greenhorns are developed in 2.5-inch form-factor with 7 mm thickness only and SATA III 6 Gb/sec interface.



Mushkin Reactor drives take Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller in cooperation with MLC NAND flash-memory as the basis. Their utmost sequential data transfer speed equals to 560 Mb/sec and 460 Mb/sec on Read/Write operations respectively, while random data transfer speed achieves 74.000 IOPS and 76.000 IOPS correspondingly.


The triple is thought to operate 1.5 million hours without failures in rather tough conditions (in working environments with up to 70 degrees temperature). All models support TRIM instructions, DevSleep mode that prolongs standalone operation of a mobile device on battery power supply, and the newest …
