Cooler Master is one of the companies that always amaze potential users by high-quality and, at the same time, offbeat framework of hardware items. For instance, its High Air Flow (HAF) series of PC cases is differentiated by a quite uncommon design, combined with a powerful cooling system. Cooler Master HAF XB is probably the most outstanding model within the series, since it is something like a borderland between an open stand and a modding case. However, offbeat framework is not the only attraction of this product. Let’s find out some other advantages of this case.



General Peculiarities


Cooler Master HAF XB is compatible with ATX/micro-ATX/mini-ITX motherboards and ATX PS2 power supply units. The case is made of steel with some plastic inclusions. It features two bays for 5.25-inch drives, the same number of bays for 3.5-inch drives, and six bays for 2.5-inch devices. Expansion facilities are introduced by seven slots. Internal spacing is enough to house 334 mm long …

Introduction


This time I’m working with one of the most fashionable and technologically strong devices. I’ll try to show you all the advantages of it and help you to decide whether it is worth of buying and further using, or not. So, today we are going to inspect and evaluаte the Fractal Design Meshify C chаssis. As you’ve alrеady understооd from its nаme, the Meshify C utilіzes the same bоdy as the Define C, but tаrgets a dіfferent user grоup and prіce sеgment. Let’s not waste our time and get down to our review. And the first and usual point of our review is Packaging and Contents.


Packaging and Contents


The first thіng we lооk at is pаckaging. You gеt your Fractal Design Meshify C in a sіmple cardbоard bоx with an imаge of the chаssis on frоnt and a blоw-up diаgram on the bаck. The compаny has also plаced anоther imаge of the cаse intеrior on the smаller pаnel. You’ll find a lіst of spеcificatiоns of the Meshify C …

A short while ago the French Canard PC Hardware magazine has reported, that Intel is going to give fitting reply to AMD Ryzen pilot projects and plans to release two new Kaby Lake-S CPUs.



The first processor is expected to be launched under the Intel Core i7-7740K codename. It will get four compute cores with Hyper-Threading support, 8 MB of tertiary memory cache, unlocked multiplier and the 100 W basic TDP rate. Operating frequencies will lie in the range of 4.3–4.6 GHz in the Turbo Boost mode.


The second specialty is Core i5-7640K with four cores and 4–4.4 frequency of operation. It also features 6 MB of L3 cache, 100 W TDP and the support of Hyper-Threading technology, though we can’t be sure as for the last-named specification. One should admit, that heretofore only the Intel Core i7 line offered multithreading in its 4-core desktop processors.
