EVGA company promised to equip the GeForce GTX 780 with original cooler ACX.  Total company yesterday unveiled seven models of GeForce GTX 780, only two of them will have the reference cooling system, and four models will get ACX with two fans.

Besides the two large fans that are immediately apparent, EVGA graphics card with ACX cooling system  can be identified by the increased size of the ventilation slots on the rear panel.  

Among the two already available GeForce GTX 780 with ACX cooling system a model has standard frequencies 863/902/6008 MHz. The second video card refers to a series Superclocked and the proposed frequencies increase to 967/1020/6008 MHz .  

Talking about the benefits of its ACX cooling system , EVGA company constantly makes a sly comparison with the standard version GeForce GTX 780, then with some competing models also equipped with two fans.  First , in comparison with the reference one by 15% decrease in the GPU temperature  , and the provided base steel plate cooling system not only improves the rigidity, but also by 15% decreases the temperature of the memory, and  7% lowers the elements force .

The strength of the fan blades is increased by 700%, and their weight is reduced by 25%, the use of double-row bearings in fans allowed in 4-fold increase  their estimated life (12 years) and a 15% reduction in noise levels.  However, it should be remembered that the standard version of the GeForce GTX 780 is equipped with a highly efficient and yet quiet cooler .The volume of the space occupied by the cooling section EVGA is 40% greater than the abstract competing product.  

Finally, we note that in addition to four graphics cards GeForce GTX 780 with a cooling system ACX, the company offers the EVGA graphics card and (03G-P4-2780-KR) with another cooler - it runs on standard frequencies 863/902/6008 MHz.

The cooling system is very similar to the reference.

EVGA will not be the only NVIDIA partner, ready to equip GeForce GTX 780 with original cooling system.  At least  EVGA constantly compares its  cooling system performance with the characteristics of a ACX competing solutions with two fans.  

The new product is called Inno3D GeForce GTX 780 HerculeZ 2000 will receive two large fans and a couple of heat pipes in the cooling system.  Frequency will be increased to 900/936/6008 MHz, the noise level compared to the standard version will drop from 30 to 29 dB, and the GPU temperature - from 80 to 75 degrees Celsius.

By the way, there is more surprises from Inno3D.  There is evidence that in the future the company will release a version of the GeForce GTX 780 with the suffix Ice Dragon, which will get the cooling system with three large fans and frequencies 1006/1046/6212 MHz .

However, Gigabyte company similar  layout product offers now.  Video Card GV-N780OC-3D is equipped with a cooling system WindForce 3x, which is able to dissipate up to 450 watts of thermal energy.  The presence of three fans,   increased cards length to 292 mm.  The number of heat pipes is equal to six, two of which have a diameter of 8 mm, and the rest - 6 mm.  Frequency increased up to 954/1006/6008 MHz.

PNY Technologies Company modified the standard GeForce GTX 780 in an original way.  Cooling system and nominal frequencies remained unchanged, but the warranty extended to three years.

OCZ Technologies company  in procedures for financial recovery has promised to reduce the range of the proposed solid-state drives, this does not mean that it ceases to move forward.  The manufacturer's website announces the release of Vertex Series SSDs 450.

The new drives use Indilinx Barefoot controller modernized 3 Series M10.  It is quite economical, while providing support for 256-bit encryption algorithm AES.  The data itself is stored in a 20-nm memory chips such as MLC, which are issued by a joint venture between Intel and Micron.

450 Vertex drives are offered in versions with 128 GB ($ 130), 256GB ($ 235) and 512GB ($ 500).  They are about 10% cheaper than the volume Series storage Vector.  However, they lag behind in speed: read speed serial data blocks ranges from 525 to 540 Mbaye / s, write speed varies from 525 to 530 MB / s, if we ignore the younger model 128 GB, for which the figure is 290 MB / s.  Two older models provide a data transmission rate in the form of arbitrary blocks of 4 KB at 85,000 operations per second for reading and 90,000 operations per second for writing.  A model with 128 GB, these figures are slightly lower than - 75 and 70,000 cycles per second, respectively.

The drives are equipped with a SATA-600 interface, the form factor 2.5 "combined with the thickness not more than 7 mm. For three years, drives capable of recording 20 GB of data per day . Actually, the warranty period is three years.

According to various estimates, the global PC market in the first quarter of 2013 decreased by between 6% and 10%.  New confirmation of this are published by HP and Dell recent quarterly reports , which indicate that the business of selling personal computers fell over in the year by 20% or so.  Against the background of such drop , Lenovo report looks like a complete contrast - this Chinese company for the year increased its PC shipments by 10.2%.    

Lenovo first calendar quarter 2013 corresponds to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, so Lenovo also covers the financial year.  Revenues for fiscal year 2013 was $ 34 billion - that's 15% more than in fiscal year 2012.  Net income for the year increased by 34% to $ 635 million in the first quarter of 2013 (fourth fiscal 2013) Lenovo raised $ 7.8 billion growth of 4% for the year, allowing the company to deliver personal financial record for quarterly revenue.  Net profit increased by 90% and amounted to $ 127 million, and the profit margin - at 12.3%.
