VR-Zone.com — Computex 07: Day 2 Updates
Arctic Cooling, AsRock, Corsair We find ourselves back in the Halls of Computex 2007 on Day 2, and here are some of the stuff that caught our eyes... Arctic Cooling Arctic Cooling was down with their usual slew of cooling and accessories. This now includes a low noise PSU and thermal paste.
A cross sectional display was up to explain AC's concept what makes a cool and silent PC (with Arctic Cooling components of course).
AsRock AsRock's ability at engineering budget boards is world renowned, engineering 533FSB chipsets to do 800MHz was its forte back in 478 era. The recent VSTA boards have even clocked rather well with the Core 2 Duo. Let's see what tricks they've up their sleeves this time around.
How about downscaled Bearlake with that 1333FSB on tap?
Slimmed down boards for that HD content HTPC.
Some demonstration rigs were running too. Corsair We found ourselves back at Corsair (was it because of the pretty little pirate damsels? Hmmm...) to snap up some more memory goodies.
A pair of DDR3 modules were running on Corsair's setup offering some rather high clockspeeds. More in the screen shots below:
4GB DDR3 in dual chanel, 2 x 2GB running at 1600MHz:
I think going to work with a thumb drive bearing the brand of the RAMs in my system is rather cool. Have a knack for some flash geek appeal?
ECS, Inno3D, PowerDVD Elitegroup/ECS ECS was offering a range of mainboards and integrated SFF solutions as usual, but they have some new stuff on display so do check it out.
Inno3D Inno3D has lately been targeting the enthusiast market with their iChill series of components - Here we see their premium products featuring custom coolers.
High clocked, speedy, and of course those black PCBs that enthusiasts around the globe seem to like very much. PowerDVD Demonstration With HD Video decoding becoming a gradual necessity, PowerDVD was down at the show to demonstrate what some smart coding can do for HD decoding performance.
Sapphire, Palit, Zotac Sapphire Sapphire booth demonstrated what a loyal AIB could do best in: innovation.
A more usual slew of items, reminding us of the glorious days of owning a Toxic.
Palit/XpertVision Likewise, Palit threw up quite a variety of offerings for the various segments of the market.
Zotac Zotac may be a relative newcomer on the NVIDIA ASP scene but its parent company (which holds Sapphire under its umbrella) is already a veteran in the graphics solution industry.
Zotac has also started making nForce-based motherboards, as seen below.
Babes... Some shutter pleasure and eye candy too!
More to come! ;) |
