The Corsair Co. announces its latest DDR4 memory sets, intended for gaming desktops. These modules, called Vengeance RGB White, are performed in white and supplied with the multi-coloured RGB backlighting. It is claimed to be compatible with Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light and ASUS Aura Sync systems.



It has been affirmed that the novelties are produced with the use of specially designed highly efficient PC-boards, providing best signal transmission, and carefully culled microelectronic integrated circuits, ensuring worthy overclocking possibilities and reliable service on newest mother cards for Intel and AMD processors.


The Vengeance RGB White line includes sets, the resulting capacity of which equals to 16 GB (2 × 8 GB), 32 GB (4 × 8 GB or 2 × 16 GB), and 128 GB (8 × 16 GB). Depending on the kit, frequency is up to 3,000, 3,200 or 3,600 MHz. The power supply voltage is 1.35 W. Embedded radiators chill each mem module, while supporting high productiveness and …

HIS is glad to introduce one more high-end solution: the Radeon R9 280X IceQ Boost Clock graphics card that is targeting high-performance PC systems. The model employs turbine-type cooling system with a branded IceQ cooler. It consists of a voluminous copper base (35x28 mm), an aluminum heatsink, four nickel-plated heat-pipes (2x 8 mm and 2x 6 mm), as well as a single 80 mm turbine fan. Such cooling is ideal for multi-GPU configurations in AMD CrossFireX mode, since the distance between adapters does not influence the efficiency of their fans.



The new-comer is based on AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU (28 nm, GCN) with 2048 stream processors. It runs at standard frequencies: 850 MHz – nominal and 1000 MHz – dynamic. Memory is introduced by 3 GB GDDR5 modules, which run at standard 1500 MHz frequencies and reach some 6000 MHz effective index.


To continue, HIS Radeon R9 280X IceQ Boost Clock features four connectivity interfaces: a pair of mini-DisplayPort ports, one DVI-I and …

Scythe, a renowned developer of cooling solutions, introduces a new CPU cooler, entitled Iori. Due to an offbeat framework, the model is primarily targeting small-sized systems with mini-ITX and micro-ATX motherboards. It is compatible with practically all modern platforms (Intel 775/115x/1366 and AMD FM1/FM2/FM2+/AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+), save for Intel LGA2011 and AMD Socket AM1. The cooler is already on free sale at the price tag of 24.50 EUR.



Scythe Iori is all about nickel-plated heatsink with a copper base, three heatpipes that pierce the plates twice, and a single 100 mm axial GlideStream 100 fan, located on the top of the framework. The latter employs a sleeve bearing and supports PWM technology. It enables the variation of rotational speeds within the ranges of 300-1800 RPM. Herein, the fan is able to produce up to 43.74 CFM at the maximal noise level of 26.7 dB.


Taking into account that all the components on the small-sized motherboards’ PCB are tightly soldered, …
