It is noteworthy that there is no built-in voltage regulator in the desktop processors Skylake generation LGA 1151 version, but our colleagues from the EXPreview site have the opposite feature of the LGA 2066 Skylake-X processors.     Intel Documentation note the presence of the built-in voltage regulator in the Skylake-X processors .  Naturally, this neighborhood from the point of view of heat dissipation does not add optimism to overclockers, especially taking into account the mediocre properties of the standard thermal interface of the LGA 2066 processors themselves.   Developing this topic, colleagues pay attention to the wealth of settings related to voltage, when installing Skylake-X processors in motherboards with a LGA 2066 connector. Similar in design, Kaby Lake-X processors have less power management capabilities. Motherboards with LGA 2066 connector with earlier BIOS versions did not like the alternation of Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X processors.  The first when installed in the board after their older analog sometimes "burned."  However, the motherboard manufacturers insist that the serial products solve the problem, and fresh BIOS versions prevent this outcome.

POSTER: computer news   ||   GIGABYTE DECIDED TO REPAIR THE GAPS IN THE PROTECTION OF CORPORATE SYSTEMS BASED ON INTEL PROCESSORS	DATE:2017-07-14
For several years, systems based on Intel processors with AMT support contained a vulnerability that would allow a potential attacker to remotely intercept system management.  This problem did not affect the server systems, and therefore the matter was limited to client PCs, which are based on AMT compatible chipset .    Gigabyte company reported about the release of new versions of BIOS for potentially vulnerable motherboards . BIOS updates that solve the problem are already available for Gigabyte motherboards based on the Intel X170, X150, B150, B250 logic chipsets.  Soon, BIOS updates for motherboards based on Intel Q87, Q85, B85 chipsets will be added to them.  We emphasize that Intel's chipset of the consumer series (with Z, H in the name) does not suffer from this vulnerability.

POSTER: computer news   ||   OVERCLOCKING RADEON VEGA FRONTIER EDITION RESTS ON THE POWER SYSTEM	DATE:2017-07-14
GamersNexus made one of the first attempts to improve the overclocking results of Radeon Vega Frontier Edition due to the modification of the standard cooling system of this professional graphics adapter.  It is clear that at such extremes, the authors of the experiment went for the lack of a game video card Radeon RX Vega, which until the announcement remains a little over two weeks.   Composition nuances force AMD to use mounting holes for cooling systems that fit into the corners of the square with a side of 64 mm.  And although the continuity with Radeon R9 Fury X (Fiji) is preserved, life does not make it easier for a lover of similar experiments: it is very difficult to select an alternative cooling system for Vega.  Colleagues, for example, were forced to adapt the processor-free cooling system Asetek 570LC, which had new holes in its mounts with power tools and drills. To overclock the video card after such modifications it was possible up to 1700/1100 MHz, the radiators were installed on the power elements.  By the way, providing them with additional blowing was not so important, as shown by further tests - on the temperature it influenced little.  The authors of the experiment concluded that the main stopper for overclocking is the power system capabilities - only one graphics processor in the limiting mode is able to consume up to 400 W (not the entire system, not the entire graphics card, namely the graphics processor).  This load increases the current strength on the 12 V line up to 33 A, and this is already a serious problem for the power supply.  Colleagues expect to find "workarounds" for further advancement in overclocking, it is impossible to change anything through the BIOS. The last graph shows that efforts to improve the cooling of Radeon Vega Frontier Edition power elements do not justify themselves, because everything is normal there.  The main advantage of improving the GPU cooling system is a decrease in the noise level during overclocking, although there is some progress in lowering the temperature.

POSTER: computer news   ||   AUTONOMOUS HELMET VIRTUAL REALITY OCULUS WILL COST 200 DOLLARS	DATE:2017-07-14
According to the latest price maneuvers, it is felt that Oculus VR is tired of being satisfied with the status of  least populardevice of virtual reality manufacturer.  If you take into account the leading in popularity of Samsung Gear VR, which uses smartphones of the same brand, the Oculus VR bypasses also Sony and HTC, and Oculus Rift is in fourth place. Rumors about the intentions of Oculus VR to create an autonomous helmet of virtual reality have been around for a long time, and now it becomes clear that it is in this direction that the company is going to concentrate its new initiatives.  According to Bloomberg , in addition to the more expensive and functionally advanced helmet with the code name Santa Cruz, in development is an inexpensive version of the stand-alone device for $ 200, which will be based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and will not require a connection to a computer or a smartphone for use in a virtual reality environment.  The device will yield in accuracy the user's spatial positioning to the Oculus Rift helmet, but will be equipped with a wireless manipulator for working in applications and with the interface of the corporate "store". Interestingly, as the contractor for the release of this device with the symbol Pacific selected Chinese company Xiaomi, from which in Oculus VR went to work its active figure Hugo Barra (Hugo Barra).  All over the world, the device will be sold under the Oculus VR brand, with the exception of China, where brand applications will be added to the Xiaomi brand on the case. Novelty Oculus VR promises to be lighter and more productive than Samsung Gear VR, without requiring the use of an interfaced smartphone.  An advanced tracking system will appear at the autonomous helmet of this brand in the next generation.  By the end of 2017, the development of a first-generation helmet should be completed, and it will not be available until 2018.  These plans do not abolish the possibility of a closer appearance to the Oculus Rift in terms of the characteristics of a device with a "self-contained" set of components on board that will play in a higher price league.  Although, after the recent markdown of Oculus Rift to $ 399 complete with manipulators, there is not much room for maneuver from the developer.
