EVGA’s Interview monitor is a dual display multi-patented invention that has a dual 1440×900 resolution. The ingenuity is how the monitor can flip over, while retaining the upright view when it turns through 180 degrees. The two monitors are mirror images and hence mirror the users view which can be shown (on the second screen) to customers, to clients, or for tutoring. The dual screens can be used as a single desktop to enhance video editing as well.
PM Jacob Freeman shows EVGA’s the latest offerings with the P55 chipset from Intel. EVGA P55 is an enthusiast motherboard with dual BIOS, it has pulsating LED in the heatspreader, and a 10 phase analog PWM. The EVGA FTW line has a total of 3 BIOS chips and each chip can store a different BIOS version. The active switch helps you select which is your preference. Its an excellent feature for testing out new BIOS’. It has a 12 Phase analog PWM and has dual 8 pin inputs for a total of 600W of power to the CPU and PWM region directly. Peter Tan, the world renowned overclocker working for EVGA gives his take on the P55 chipset. Inside the CPU socket cavity EVGA have inserted low inductance surface mount capacitors. The high grade capacitors give low inductance and are the best ones for the job.
Arctic Cooling is showing us their Accelero Twin Turbo Pro, an improved twin turbo with bigger 92mm fans. They also announced that they are working on a new heatsink for the GTX295 single PCB card which will be based on their current 4870X2 solution, and aftermarket heatsinks for entry level vga’s.
YUHO @ OPTO 2009 showed the difference between a standard heatpipe’s conductivity and their own specialized heatpipe. The specialized heatpipe conducted the heat much quicker and more efficiently. The whole unit is designed to capture heat, store it, and then conduct it into a central water reservoir that can then heat the water inside. The whole unit is part of the worldwide drive to push down power consumtion and apply GREEN solutions.
MSI laptops on display at Computex 2009 extend for the full range from 13″ to 15.4″.
Wide screen, thin crystal display, using 4 cell battery which lasts for 4 hours. Default weight is about 1.5kg. Very light, very slim and will cost below US$1100 (ULV Processors). Availability X400- X600 at end of June. 13″ already available.
CPU clock speed about 2 GHz with heat profile below 10W.
X600 uses ATI 40nm GPU. Others use Intel graphics.
Level 10 chassis finally exposed. Full system installed inside showing how the chassis will support hardware placed inside it.
The system can support 6 HDD’s, full ATX motherboard with a full spec’d system as should be expected. This system shown at Computex 2009 supports dual graphics cards and has a full ATX PSU. Each cabinet is isolated from the other and is essentialy dedicated to cooling and storing each aspect of the full system. Each compartment is wired to connect to the next.
MSI @ Computex 2009- Andrew, the motherboard PM discusses new features – Dr MOS, and easy OC features. Power saving using Dr MOS up to 96% for overclocking on Intel i7 platform. In September expect a “secret weapon” launch of the NForce 200. Further on display included 790 FX and the user can switch the OC dial to upgrade the frequency and boost PC performance as needed.
AMD @ Computex 2009 will launch their own 3D technology, they have been working with a company called DDD who provides the technology behind it. It requires adriver to be installed on top of the ATI catalyst driver. It is different from Nvidia 3D Tech because they use passive glasses. So when you look outside the screen, it has no flickering. Running at 1920×1200 resolution with interlaced alternating eye setup. Unlike Zalman, the AMD technology is more software based, although has some similarities.
Product Manager from ASUS @ Computex 2009 talks about the ASUS MARS DUAL VGA card which features 2x GTX 285 GPU’s in one unit.
The impressive graphics performance is without equal.
ASUS Mars GTX 285 Dual VGA card – Limited edition (1000 pieces only) . Worlds Fastest graphics card. 4 GB memory and solid state capacitors, 5 phase PWM per GPU and specialised cooling design.
Aspire one netbook from Acer with Atom processor. The Android OS platform is a mixed Android, Linux hybrid which starts up in 18 seconds!! and turns off in 1 second. Future specs uncertain, but looks good and works great!
Computex 2009: Gary from Microsoft gives us a rundown on the benefits of Windows 7, and what type of platform is needed to run it effectively.
In addition he is asked about Cloud applications and Cuda support. Lastly he mentions how great Taiwan is.
@ Computex 2009: The L-ATX form factor power supply from Lian Li is an attempt to improve cooling in PSU’s by making a wind tunnel, instead of the traditional “L” Shaped airflow. The larger frame of the L-ATX PSU fits in most Lian Li Tower Chassis with extra space.
Steel and plastic chassis designed with Lian Li quality and convenience at Computex 2009
All components can be installed without tools. Convenience and quality combine in a cost effective PC case.
Lian Li exposes the latest X series gaming chassis called the X1000 at Computex 2009. This case combines the best of both the X500 and X2000. It has front mounted ODD bays, special heat zoned areas and all the latest tool-less designs from Lian Li, including the PSU clip and PCI bracket clips.
