New Clarkdale processors are very interesting not only because they offer Nehalem microarchitecture in mainstream price range. These are also the first desktop processors with an integrated graphics core. Our today’s article is going to focus on Intel HD Graphics accelerator built into the new LGA1156 CPUs.
Over the past year e-Books turned from something extraordinary into popular gadgets: there are over a dozen models on the shelves of almost any large electronics store these days, these devices receive broad support from large publishing houses and book sellers. Today we are going to check out a few new solutions that should be coming out shortly.
Today we are going to talk about a new graphics card cooler employing Heatpipe Direct Touch technology, its cooling efficiency and acoustic performance. It will be a solution from Xigmatek.
This elite solution from Quantum Force series has all the features and functionality a contemporary mainboard should possess. To our regret, it also accumulated quite a few drawbacks and issues, which may make your experience with this board quite difficult.
Today we are going to talk about three new cooling solutions that in fact are none other but slightly tuned up modifications of the good old cooler models, which you all are already familiar with.
This is a technologically advanced mainboard, which functionality for some reason is kept secret from us by the manufacturer. It does have a few drawbacks, but some of its features are still truly unique as of today.
Today we are going to talk about three extremely large system cases that demonstrate dramatically different approaches to internal components organization. The interesting thing is that all three of them are targeted for the most demanding and sophisticated computer users.
This new cooler from the Japanese maker is designed the same way as the well-known Kama Cross, but has grown up quite substantially and is topped with a 140 mm fan.
We are already familiar with the flagship LGA1156 mainboard from Intel – DP55KG. We also know a very affordable solution in Intel P55 Express chipset – Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R. What does Intel DP55WG mainboard from the Media Series have in common with these two, and what is different? Read our review to find out.
As a rule, discrete multi-GPU systems are symmetrical, but today we are going to talk about an asymmetrical ATI CrossFireX tandem that may become a good option in case of two-step upgrade for your gaming platform and even become an alternative to a Radeon HD 5870.
