The Super Flower Co. is widely known by virtue of its 80Plus Titanium power modules. At present this manufacturer is going to present a cutting-edge series of low-profile devices.



The latest line will include ten power supplies, the capacity of which varies in the range of 400–850 W depending on the model. Those of them providing 750 W and more will get partially detachable cables.


Being optimized by Super Flower professionals, the topological layout of these Super Flower products is based on the two-transistor forward converter. PWM and PFC schemes are designed with a Fairchild controller and Infineon field-effect transistors. Hardware components also incorporate STMicroelectronics and Mospec diodes, a Fujitsu relay and a Teapo electrolytic capacitor.


All models of this series are intended for Super Flower OEM customers and comply with 80Plus Bronze standards.

Last year the ASRock manufacturer added RX and GTX samples to the DeskMini PCs family. These small-size products are able to hold Radeon RX 480 and GeForce GTX 1060 discrete video cards in the form of MXM modules.



The ASRock company decided to develop its DeskMini RX/GTX models further and constructed a similar mini PC, housing the GeForce GTX 1080 3D card.


Now the dimensions are not much larger and make 213 х 154.5 х 81.9 mm (corresponding to 2.7 l). The great news is that the specialty can be equipped with GeForce GTX 1060, GTX 1070 and even GTX 1080 graphics accelerators! Presumably, the CPUs list includes the 6th and 7th generations Intel processors up to Core i7 with the 65 W TDP.


ASRock mini PCs can obtain 32 GB of RAM. Two 2.5-inch and three M.2 drives (Optane storage devices among them) can be installed. Connectivity is provided by the Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C 3.1, three USB 3.1, two USB 2.0, two HDMI and two DisplayPort ports.

Enermax has designed a new PC case, targeting demanding customers. The Ostrog ADV is differentiated from all rival chassis by the implementation of a brand MaxBriteTM LED Technology backlight. It ensures bright and even illumination along the outline of the case. Enermax offers models with three colors of backlight (green, red & blue) which can operate in six different modes (All on, Off, Flash, Sparkle, Vegas, Dimmed).



The new-comer is developed in a mid-tower form-factor, featuring 516x493x215 mm dimensions. The layout is estimated for the mounting of mini-ITX/micro-ATX/ATX motherboards with the maximum of 7 expansion slots. There is a possibility to install quite long videocards (up to 414 mm), standard ATX PS/2 power supply units, and a quite high CPU cooler (up to 174 mm).


Enermax Ostrog ADV is able to accommodate three external 5.25-inch drives as well as six internal 3.5-/2.5-inch drives. Cooling is ensured by a set of pre-installed/optional air fans. A pair of …
