ASRock pulls its special motherboard OC

ASRock takes advantage of the Computex to show its new special motherboard torture of Intel processors.

Under LGA1155 socket and chipset Panther Point Z77 equipped, ASrock unveils its special motherboard OC called for the occasion Z77 OC Formula. With 12 + 4 phases power signed DiGiPower and accompanied by super capacitors tantalum as well as active chipsets for control of temperature, pressure and the intensity of the power from the motherboard, the manufacturer has even added a small fan of 4 cm in diameter close to aerate any this beautiful world. The memory part is composed of four banks dual channel capable of supporting of the DDR3 up to a frequency of 3000 MHz with eight floors of dedicated to food.

For the rest of the specifications, ASRock offers two ports PCI - e 3.0 x 16 or x 8 / x 8 if two cards are installed with more another port PCI-e 2.0 x 16 (x 4 electrically) and finally two last ports PCI - e 2.0 x 1 in case where. For storage, this Z77 OC Formula has six SATA 6 Gb/s ports four that are controlled by a third-party controller not specified and four SATA 3 Gb/s ports. Then, we find a HDMI, a port output eight channels for sound and an RJ45 Gigabit outlet powered by Broadcom and some USB 3.0 on the back panel ports.

That said map for overclocking, said checkpoint on the PCB. ASRock does not derogate from the rule and is well thought to control tensions and temperatures of torture applied and two panels of control of the State of the motherboard, and a few essential buttons for this kind of practice. The price will come later...

ZOTAC GTX 670: the Extreme Edition special overclocking

The Zotac mark will soon be a third model of GeForce GTX 670 to the overclockers, the GTX 670 Extreme Edition.

The Chinese manufacturer Zotac, after having announced its classic and AMP models! Edition of the GeForce GTX 670, would prepare a third version known as the Extreme Edition. It would be more for overclockers and demanding users who wish to make the most of their equipment.

Indeed, this map is completely customisée, long PCB was enhanced to provide 8 + 3 phases, cooled by an additional radiator on the top of the card with LED integrated to illuminate the logo. The map will then require connectors PCI-e 8 + 6 pins to feed energy.

The cooling system consists of a large copper base surmounted by a large radiator finned aluminum covering the PCB, crossed by 5 heat pipes 9 mm brass, all rafraichi by two fans of 90 mm diameter. The card has a backplate for stiffening the whole and dissipate heat, a module + OC can also connect in USB on the map to relate it to the motherboard to monitor and precisely control the various parameters of the card (GPU/memory frequency, tension, speed of the ventilos…).

     

ZOTAC announces an overclocking of plant for the GK104 amounting to 1100 Mhz in standard and 1200 Mhz in GPU Boost, the 2 GB of GDDR5 is processors to 1650 Mhz (1502/980/915 Mhz for the GTX 670 of reference NVIDIA). This model will be the month next in Asia at a rate not release and arrival on the European market has not yet been mentioned.
