Present-day power supply units are the devices which combine the advanced technologies with eco-friendly approach. Their major destination is to provide the PC nodes with direct current electric power, however, PSU can realize additional stabilizing and protective functions. Aurum AU-1200 Pro belongs to the units of FSP series and offers an ideal combination of quality, efficiency and security. This PSU is based on MIAIC technology which ensures high performance characteristics and good level of PC protection.



Design and Integration


Unlike the traditional PSU design concept, FSP Aurum AU-1200 Pro is developed with a note of uniqueness. Its black casing creates an illusion of unflinching reliability, while the golden bordering of ventilation array adds some refinement to the unit. Aurum AU-1200 Pro is rather compact as compared to other units available in the market. It should be mentioned that developers succeeded in their attempts to achieve the maximal air outflow due to …

Up-to-date SSD manufacturers are inclined to employ MLC flash-memory with synchronous interface in their product lines. The implementation of exactly such memory interface allows balancing the advanced performance with moderate price. This is especially vital for SSDs with SATA 3 6Gb/sec interface. Nevertheless, some producers take the challenge to implement flash-memory with asynchronous interface in their drives. As a result, the final products go at more attractive price but with more modest speed characteristics. OCZ dared to overcome this speed drawback by releasing SSD Agility 4 series. The models included in the series are based on asynchronous flash-memory interface and, according to the company's words, prove to show quite decent speed index.



Chief Peculiarities


Despite the prevalence of SandForce controllers implemented in SSDs, OCZ decided to use quite different platform for its new series. Agility 4 employs Indilinx Everest 2 controllers which, in some way, …

Cooler Master announces an official release and starts a batch production of two new liquid cooling systems that join Seidon series. Codenamed Seidon 120XL and Seidon 240M, these two models will become a real smile of fortune for the devotees of up-dated technologies. Compact size and affordable price are the key advantages of Seidon representatives. Both liquid coolers demonstrate compatibility with such platforms, as Intel LGA 775, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, and AMD FM1, FM2, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+.



According to Cooler Master, Seidon 120XL and Seidon 240M are quite independent systems which require minimal efforts while mounting or maintenance. They are a perfect choice for those people willing to provide enough room around CPU socket and simultaneously get the utmost cooling effect.


The first model, Seidon 120XL, is a refined version of Seidon 120M. It consists of a quite thick aluminum heatsink, copper micro channels, and a single 120 mm fan. In its turn, Seidon 240M …
