Core i7-3970X in the offing - takes Sandy Bridge-E to 4.0 Ghz

While Ivy Bridge takes care of the consumer market, Intel plans to launch a new flagship Core i7 3900 series, which can step up to the milestone of 4.0 GHz. Although the family Sandy Bridge-E is one of the most expensive processor on the market today have model series have been overlooked, largely because of the cheaper and more power-efficient newcomers Ivy Bridge with 22 nanometer manufacturing technology. The platform LGA 2011 is not forgotten.

Free Office Applications for your PC

A lot of word processing applications used are Microsoft Office , this is because the majority of users operating system in Indonesia is Microsoft Windows . However, for the use of licensePirated applications that can certainly be a free. But to use a paid license, Microsoft Office applications also must be purchased separately and are quite expensive.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Kepler 2 GB

Introduction

How time flies. The last time we had a bleeding-edge graphics card from NVIDIA to try by fire, was exactly a year ago, with the launch of GeForce GTX 590. Quite a bit changed since then. Rival AMD is just about done with the launch of its Radeon HD 7000 series "Southern Islands" GPU family, and NVIDIA's answer to that felt wanted, for the past 3 months or so. Well, it’s finally here – our GeForce GTX 680 Kepler review.

Both evolutionary and revolutionary changes have gone into making the GeForce GTX 680. It's evolutionary in that it's designed to be an upgrade over its immediate predecessor (and not something two generations behind), and revolutionary new features make sure GTX 680 is a worthy upgrade. The evolutionary part of course is that NVIDIA wants to reclaim the title of having the fastest GPU out there; and the revolutionary part is a vibrant feature-set that supposedly contributes to never before seen energy-efficiency levels, to accomplish those steep design goals. 

Samsung 30 nm Green PC3-12800 Low Profile 1.35 V DDR3

Introduction

Over the past couple of months, there's been quite an uproar on various tech forums about Samsung's latest 30 nm Low-Power "Green" DDR3. During the time since they were "discovered", we've seen reports of 1600 MHz sticks hitting 2400 MHz and more, a healthy 50%+ overclock ability that in today's memory market is very near unheard of. Non-plussed, I managed to source a sample to take a look, and investigate the hype. Here's what Samsung has to say about their latest Low Power "Green" DDR3 on their website:

First in the Market with Advanced DDR3

Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 1000 W

Introduction

We would like to thank Cooler Master for supplying the review sample.

Cooler Master's Silent Pro M series has been around for a long time and it was time for a fresh series to take over, so the M2 was released as replacement. Currently the Silent Pro M2 ranks third in CM's PSU series portfolio, below Silent Pro Hybrid and Silent Pro Gold. The most noteworthy difference of M2, in characteristics, to the two aforementioned series is the efficiency certification which dropped to silver and bronze levels in order to retain lower prices.

The new M2 units come in six flavors with capacities ranging from 420W to 1000W. The two stronger units with 1000W and 850W have Silver efficiency while all others are Bronze. Here we should note that at the time of the review no member of the M2 series was officially certified but we are pretty sure that this is just a matter of time.

Patriot Viper Extreme PC3-16000 CL9 1.65 V DDR3

Introduction

Last week I took a look at some new memory on the market, but today, we go back in time a bit, all the way back to October 19, 2010, and take a look at an older kit, that just might be more relevant to an overclocker than first meets the eye. The Patriot PX538G2000ELK is a 2000 MHz kit that was originally intended for the P55 platform, but we have entirely different plans for this kit. Here's what Patriot themselves has to say about this kit:

Gigabyte HD 7770 OC

A few weeks ago AMD launched their Radeon HD 7700 Series. The cards use the all-new Cape Verde graphics processor which is based on AMD's new GCN Graphics Core Next architecture that promises increased performance and lower power draw.

Cape Verde is a downscale from the "Tahiti" silicon, on which higher Radeon HD 7900 series parts are based. There are fewer number of redundant components, so Cape Verde is left functionally-identical to Tahiti, but is smaller, built for more affordable graphics cards. Cape Verde also retains the basic hierarchy of the architecture as implemented in Tahiti.

Gigabyte's HD 7770 OC is a custom implementation of the HD 7770. It features a massively increased GPU clock speed of 1100 MHz. Memory clock has been increased too, to 1250 MHz.
