It is a fully modular model with all pluggable cables, hybrid fan mode and 80Plus Gold certification, which is an indicator that good, high-quality components are installed inside the PSU. Ocypus is a new name in the PC power supply market, and today we are testing one of the most powerful models of the brand, the Iota 1200, a 1200-watt ...

The ATX 3.1 standard power supply with a new connector for a video card, 12V-2x6, with which you can not worry that the computer will burst into flames during the game. The power supply itself is assembled on Japanese capacitors and has a hybrid mode for silent operation in office tasks. A year or two ago, when choosing a power supply unit, we paid attention to the element base, manufacturers of capacitors and a fan, and as a weighty argument we looked at the warranty, which reaches a crazy ...

The 80 Plus Platinum standard is gradually entering the top segment of home computers and workstations. Hand on heart, we can immediately say that there is nothing particularly new in it – both "platinum" and "titanium" have been used in server equipment almost since the appearance of the 80 Plus certificates themselves, and as a rule, such power supplies have been nursed for 10+ years without problems, even in very problematic conditions when there is dust all around, fans ...

The two-sided SSD layout always promises interesting speed, and when you have two DDR4 cache chips on board under the control of a 4-core controller, Silicon Motion SM2264, the result is high stability in mixed loads and excellent multithreading up to 128 threads. We have an NVME SSD Adata Legend 960 of M.2 2280 format with a volume of 1 TB, and this model is interesting because it has a two-way layout with two cache memory chips controlled by a top controller in its line, Silicon Motion ...

Of the most significant points, I would like to note the overload, which for a short time can exceed the nominal value by as much as three times! Naturally, this required completely redesigning the design of the power supply, making it more complicated and more expensive. In the spring of 2022, Intel introduced a new ATX 3.0 power supply standard, which in the next decade will become decisive for motherboards, power supplies and video cards. The introduction of new power requirements was due ...

The power supply is a critical component of the server, on which not only the stability of operation depends, but also the operating costs. What types of server PSUs are used today and how to choose a power model. Server power supplies, which are used to provide power to server components, have various parameters, such as power, current, and voltage. Depending on the type of server enclosure and its capacity, power supplies are divided into different categories. Conventional ATX power ...

Prices for DDR4 today are not just at comfortable levels, but at such levels that all DIMM slots on the motherboard can be clogged with memory modules, as long as they are not empty. If you are not planning to upgrade the platform to AMD with DDR5 support in the near future, you can install the maximum amount of supported memory in your computer, overclock it to a substantial 3.6 GHz and, most likely, not worry about a lack of RAM in the coming years. Prices for DDR4 today are not just at ...

Fully modular power supply unit on a high-quality Seasonic Focus Gold platform with Japanese components and a simple 10-year warranty period. The DeepCool DQ750-M-V2L power supply is an expensive series of fully modular PSUS with 80 Plus Gold certification, built on the Seasonic Focus Gold platform and distinguished by high-quality Japanese components. Yes, I am particularly pleased that in the era of universal savings on matches, there are companies that openly declare: "we sell ...

What happens if you take two NVME disks: one faster, the other slower, and build a simple RAID from them? Will a faster SSD be able to pull off the speed of a slower one? We will check in working office loads. In general, if we look at hard drives from the point of view of performance, then everything is simple and clear, and even the slow "green" models at 5400 RPM do not differ much from the server ones at 10 and 15 thousand RPM, unless of course the manufacturer is clever with ...
