J & W M001: and a PC fanless more!

Minicomputers and also fanless solutions different they are, undoubtedly this year...

The evolution of less consumer energy technologies and thus dispelling less heat helps builders compete ingenuity to miniaturize computers. Want to make a more compact machine is not new in itself. Since the start of the computer age, this is what manufacturers are attempting to make to the sons of the years. However, we can note that recent months have been rich presentation of this type of computers compact, no bigger than a credit card, the graphics fanless more powerful or boxes designed to cool in a passive manner, which are therefore more and more on the market.

Format nano-ITX (135 x 128 x 45 mm), grosso-modo the size of your hand, J & W launches a new computer called the M001 which remains very well equipped despite its small size. He reminded also the NUC Intel presented to us last May.

According to the adaptations, the CPU may be a D2550 Atom or a 2800. It can accommodate a bar of DDR3 SO-DIMM format and a 2.5 inch (SATA 3 GB/s) disk.

             

Input/output level, there a card reader, HDMI of VGA, a RS232, three USB 2.0 port, a Gigabit Ethernet connector and WiFi 802.11 a/b/g and n ready to use with the plug for the antenna on the side.

The model first prize system to €120, and will carry a D2550 Atom and 2 GB memory. Another version will be available with a 2800 and a SSD of 32Go. A complete PC with characteristics similar to a netbook for a price of €120 for a silence, this seems reasonable?

Mount a PC fanless with Akasa

This is a small case is happening fan.

It is at the Computex that Akasa manufacturer unveiled a passive housing. Named Euler, in mini-ITX format, it in fact has a mainly consisting aluminum block that is adossera on the CPU. The hull, it also in aluminium, therefore serves as a giant heatsink. Inevitably, it will not abuse the thermal capacity of the beast. We do not yet have precise information on the maximum TDP that will bear the Akasa. More may install a disk 2.5 inch and a drive optical slim. Measuring 228 x 187 x 61.5 mm, the Akasa Euler AX-ITX05 will be available later this year at a yet unknown price.

For lovers of fanless, remember still that the Zalmann package unfortunately always found no successor. Released in 2004, this package could allow a motherboard in the ATX, a processor classic with a TDP that can mount up to 150 Watts, a GPU from 75 Watts and a chipset with a TDP of 20 Watts, all cooled passively entirely without any fan.

Sapphire unveils a Radeon HD 7770 fanless

The Sapphire constructor never, stops between its declensions Vapor-X and its passive cards...

The Computex reserve many surprises. Today, it is a passive Radeon HD 7770 that we present the Japanese firm.This is not a test for the company run as Sapphire had already launched the HD 7750 Ultimate displaying 0 dB at the beginning of the year. We turn on the superior GPU with aluminum cooling system. The map retains the specifications of AMD references: GPU Cape Verde in 28nm at 1 GHz coupled with 1 GB of GDDR5, a priori at 1125 MHz. emphasise that the GPU in the HD 7770, which displays more than correct performance, exceed not the 80W fully loaded. Such heat loss remains a sacred challenge to manage, what makes the Sapphire Ultimate the most powerful passive map of the market.

     

Not simple to cool this creature, with several heat sink makes as long as a 7900 series Radeon card. Large aluminum block exceeds several centimeters PCB, will have to have a suitable and well ventilated housing. The games in mini-ITX format, compact and silent machines are not yet for tomorrow. Sapphire all the same that the heatpipe is subject to changes, this prototype is for the moment that beautify the technology showcase of the constructor.

The price to pay for the absolute silence will be two PCI slots. Side pockets and availability, information should fall in coming weeks.

Of the EyeFinity within €60, and fanless

Manage display on three screens without ruining you with Sapphire and its Radeon HD 6450 FleX

For those who use their machines otherwise to make the game 3D (in publishing and finance for example) and who wish to benefit from a display on three screens, Sapphire fate its Radeon HD 6450 Flex to connect easily three monitors with Eyefinity mode.

Tiny, she embarks a GPU running at 625 Mhz, 160 stream processors, 1 GB of DDR3 64-bit, 1600 Mhz and is surmounted by a passive cooling system. It offers three video outputs: a single-link DVI port, a dual-link DVI and HDMI 1 4 port. The card is delivered with a HDMI to DVI adapter, a square low - profile and will be available soon for a tariff contained 55 euros.

Cooler Master presents hybrid blocks with function fanless

Powerful power supplies but that can happen under the 200W ventilation, and offer independent management of the cooling...

This is "a revolution" according to the press release issued by Cooler Master presents a new line of power supplies under the banner "Silent Pro Hybrid". Blocks fully modular, providing centralized control of energy and cooling of the system, delivered with a control panel in the format "5.25.

Certified 80Plus Gold (87% yield), these power supplies incorporate a manager of fans of 7V which allows including direct control - via the front panel, and not through the card-mother - of the 135 mm fan Super Silent Hydraulic Bearings which they are equipped with three other fans may be added. Two potentiometers can independently adjust the rotation speed of the fans of the chassis and power, and users can choose between automatic or manual management modes.

The label of Noise-Free, these blocks hide a "fanless" function that allows to stop the rotation of the fan of food as long as the consumption remains under the 200W. Beyond, the power supply fan automatically calls into road. These blocks are launched in three different power: 850W ($199), 1050W ($249) and 1300W ($299).

It's A Fanless Cooler For Your 2.5" Drive

This fanless cooler for 2.5-inch HDDs and SSDs features an aluminum chassis and thermal compound pads.

We all know that hard drives can get hot too, especially when we're thrashing platters with benchmarks, playing resource-hogging games or pushing large tombs of multimedia across multiple folders. Like the CPU and the GPU, the drive can take some user abuse, but also like its desktop/notebook comrades, sometimes it needs a little TLC to keep data running smoothly.

Recognizing the needs of the HDD and SSD, cooling expert Scythe has created a fanless cooler called the Himuro Mini. The drawback to this heat reliever is that it only supports 2.5-inch SATA or IDE drives – those looking to keep their 3.5-inch drives are directed to the larger Himuro HDD cooler. Both can fit within a 3.5-inch drive bay, but the Himuro Mini is designed to use its thermal conductive sheets as spacers to fit snug within the larger bay.

According to Scythe, the new cooler supports drives up to 15-mm thick. It's constructed of two high-quality aluminum shells which completely engulfs the drive in a makeshift 2-mm chassis. These two shells are lined with a thermal compound pad for maximum heat transference -- two additional thermal compound pads are even thrown into the mix to reduce vibrations (see left).

To round out the package, four screw blocks made of rubber also help reduce vibrations and can be adjusted to fit various bays. That said, consumers receive a reduction in heat and noise all in one ingenious design. The Himuro Mini is launching in Europe this week for 14,25 EUR (excl. VAT/TAX), and is expected to hit Scythe USA's branch shortly.
