A-DATA Technology Co., Ltd., a worldwide leading manufacturer in high-performance DRAM modules and flash application products, today announces its new XPG Plus Series DDR3-2200+ v2.0 dual channel kit, which is the highest speed of DDR3 DRAM module in the industry.
The XPG Plus Series DDR3-2200+ v2.0 DRAM module is designed and guaranteed to run on future dual-channel platforms at incredible 2,200MHz killer speed with tight CL8-8-8-24 timings at a voltage of 1.65V, and are available in 1GBx2 and 2GBx2 dual-channel kits.
Zalman rolled out its newest CPU cooler, the CNPS9900A LED. This cooler is near-identical to the CNPS9900 LED, with the same dimensions of 94(L) x 131(W) x 152(H) mm, weight of 730 g (1.61 lbs), and an all-copper heat dissipation components design. The differences between the two are that CNPS9900A LED packs a Zalman RC33P resistor cable, and a tube of Zalman's ZM-STG2 thermal compound.
The construction involves a copper CPU contact base from which three heatpipes dissipate heat two two circular copper fin rings on either sides of a blue LED-lit 120 mm fan. Without the RC33P cable, the fan spins at 1000 rpm ~ 2000 rpm, with noise levels of 19.5 dBA ~ 38.0 dBA. But when the RC33P is installed, the speeds and noise outputs are reduced, at 800 rpm ~ 1300 rpm, with noise levels between 18 dBA ~ 28.5 dBA. The ZM-STG2 thermal compound has a thermal conductivity of 4.1 W/mK. 3.5 g of this compound is supplied in a tube. The CNPS9900A LED is compatible with all major sockets including Intel LGA-775, LGA-1156, LGA-1366, and AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3, 939/940, 754. It is expected to be priced at US $64.
LucidPort Technology commenced shipping of the industry's first USB 3.0 to SATA bridge chip, the LucidPort USB300. The chip connects a SATA II hard drive, or solid state drive to a USB Full-speed 1.1, Hi-speed 2.0, and Super-speed 3.0 port. It supports native command queuing (NCQ), AES 128/256-bit encryption, and transfer-rates as high as 210 MB/s when used with Windows Mass Storage driver. It offers even higher transfer-rates when used with the new USB-attached SCSI (UAS) driver. The most prominent applications of this chip includes external hard-drives, and external drive enclosures. Competitors such as PLX, Fujitsu, and Faraday Electronics, etc., are expected to release similar chips later this year.
In RunCore's pursuit of the ultimate solid state drive (SSD) upgrade, a full new line of SSD products have been developed, boosting computer performance 5x to 40x. The RunCore Pro IV SSDs provide speed increases in startup, application launch, multitasking between programs, opening/rendering/saving large files, and shutdown. The RunCore PRO IV SSD also offers silent operation, longer battery life, heat reduction, reliability, and durability making it the perfect solution for all applications.
The revolutionary new SSD design not only boosts your sustained performance but it also focuses on random small file Read and Write speeds, the speeds that create bottle necks in current and past PATA, SATA HDDs, and some SSDs. With Operating system and application consisting of thousands of small files, the RunCore Pro IV SSD can process these files at nearly 10X write and 50X read while creating a more efficient and satisfying user experience.
NVIDIA's move to rebrand the GeForce 9800 GTX+ to GeForce GTS 250 was meant to be followed with a similar rebranding for the GeForce 9800 GT, to GeForce GTS 240. The company even prepared a reference PCB design for the accelerator. Alas, the move wasn't popular NVIDIA's partners, who forced it shelve the plans.
Apparently NVIDIA wants to continue development of the GeForce GTS 240, at least for its OEM customers, if not AIC partners that cater to the retail consumer segment. The GeForce GTS 240 reference design accelerator is in accordance with the schematics that surfaced back in February, and maintains a single-slot design overall. Under the hood is the 55 nm G92b graphics processor with 112 shader processors, a 256-bit GDDR3 memory interface, 1 GB of memory, and reference clock speeds that match that of GeForce 9800 GT OC: 675/1620/1100 (core/shader/memory). The card supports 2-way SLI, and should be priced in the sub $130 space.
Sebuah ajang klasik untuk para overclocker - "MOA 2009" (Master Overclocking Arena) by MSI, mengundang semua overclocker dari 7 negara di Asia Tenggara (India+, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand & Vietnam ) untuk bertanding dalam BABAK PERTAMA, dimana para overcloctheletes (atlit overclocker) terhebat bertarung. Hanya 10 overcloctheletes yang akan tampil kembali di BABAK KEDUA. Setelah itu, hanya 3 overcloctheletes terbaik dari tiap wilayah yang bisa bertanding dengan para petarung kelas berat pada tahap final di Beijing Olympics Palace, China, 29 Agustus 2009.
Tema MOA 2009 adalah "IT Olympics". Pertandingan ini diawali dengan babak kualifikasi online regional yang akan diselenggarakan untuk Eropa, Asia, dan Amerika. Hanya mereka yang mampu melampaui BABAK PERTAMA (22 Juni sampai dengan 12 Juli) dianggap lolos ke BABAK KEDUA. Hati-hati, kompetisi ini berlangsung dengan cepat dan sengit. Eliminasi selalu mengancam dan hanya overcloctheletes terbaik yang dapat bertahan dan mengklaim gelar juara!
PHASE ONE has begun, overcloctheletes! Let the overclocking begin!!!
MSI introduces two energy saving graphics cards in the N9800GT series: MSI N9800GT-MD512 and N9800GT-MD1G. These graphics cards are equipped with Hi-c CAP and All Solid Caps to ensure stability and a long lifespan. Next to that, the N9800GT series have Solid State Chokes (SSC) to avoid a buzz noise.
The MSI N9800GT-MD1G and N9800GT-MD512 features an advanced power control technology, which makes the graphics cards 25% more power efficient compared to reference designs. Furthermore, these graphics cards have an HDMI port to easily setup an HTPC.
The fact that the Radeon HD 4890 has a GPU that can be clocked fairly high, is not a secret. MSI however is working in something rather special.
See typically the 4890 cards can be clocked at 900 MHz, 950 MHz at best really. However, MSI will be among a few AIBs making a high-end Radeon HD 4890 graphics card, with a 1.00 GHz core frequency. Fudzilla reported that the card has Hi-C CAPS, Solid State Chokes NCC PSF solid caps and of course non-reference cooler. The card should be called MSI R4890 Cyclone and we expect it to be quite an overclocker.
The new MSI HD 4890 will use Hi-C CAPS around the GPU which should enable it to have clean and stable power for the GPU, and it should imply that this one might be a very good overclocker. The rest of the known features include Solid State Chokes, also known as the anti buzz chokes, and NCC PSF solid caps.
The card will be cooled by MSI's well known SuperPipe cooler which uses 8mm heatpipes, and according to the picture which we managed to get, it will have four of these.
