The EVGA vendor presented its novelty – the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid graphics card with the brand iCX technology applied. Nine additional thermosensors near main warming components on the PC-board are responsible for the hybrid cooling system operation. The air cooler cares for the power supply, and the water cooling system chills the video memory and GPU.



The enclosed water cooling system is delivered assembled and filled. The unit features a copper-based waterblock, pipes in braided cable and a heatsink with a 120 mm fan. The power supply has eight phases for the GPU and two phases for the video memory. There is also a backup BIOS chip, and EVGA PXOC software allows monitoring thermal sensors values.


EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid is equipped with the 11 GB GDDR5X memory, operating at 11,016 MHz. The GPU base clock equals to 1,569 MHz, and boosted – to 1,683 MHz. Customers can utilize three DisplayPort 1.4 video outputs, an HDMI 2.0b and a Dual-Link DVI …

The Beelink BT7 mini PC’s successor is the Beelink AP42 model, which possesses the same low case, though is based on an updated platform. At present the PC is operated by the 4-core Intel Pentium N4200 CPU, representing the modern Apollo Lake generation.



Pentium N4200 includes four processor cores, featuring the 2.5 GHz frequency and the GPU HD Graphics 505. The motherboard is meant for the 4 GB DDR3 memory, however, there is a prospect for larger volumes. Due to the presence of an M.2 socket users can add a fully functional SSD to the customary 64 GB eMMC module.


The Gigabit Ethernet network port is enhanced with a two-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac adapter, which estimated capacity is equal to 1,167 Mbps. Among other Beelink AP42 interface details one can pick out three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI 1.4 video output, a headset connector, as well as an SD memory card slot.


The mini PC will be available this month at the rough price of $210.

Introduction

CLC means Closed Loop CPU Cooler. The given model is available in several variations. Today we are talking about EVGA CLC 280, but still we will notice some differences between bigger and younger brother.

The price differs greatly between the two models. The CLC 120 can be purchased for 99.90 euros, and the price of CLC 280 is 149,90 euros. Coolers belong to expensive models. But EVGA promises a sufficient amount of privilege for this price: high cooling performance, low noise level, efficient software and synchronization of the backlight with EVGA GeForce GTX video cards.
