Thunderbolt on a motherboard is still an added luxury, adding some $40 to the cost of the board to the user, though that can pale in comparison to the cost of Thunderbolt devices and storage. Despite all this, Gigabyte’s foray into the Thunderbolt world is initiated in part by the board we are reviewing today – the Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH. Using the Z77 chipset we get a motherboard with two Thunderbolt ports, but it also has the enhanced power delivery brought about by Ultra Durable 5.</span></p>

Rosewill is a familiar name here at AnandTech. It's Newegg's in-house brand, through which they sell products such as notebook accessories, peripheral equipment, cases and power supplies. Their stated goal is to "bring quality hardware and affordable prices together". In most cases they really care about the pricing, but today we will review one of their more expensive high-class offerings. Not long ago we tested their Gold PSUs, which also belong to this classification; the new products go one step further.
The Fortress series from Rosewill has four different versions, all with 80 Plus Platinum certification and non-modular cables. We'll be focusing on the 450W model in this article as this rating is interesting for the largest number of potential buyers. Japanese capacitors and a single 12V output are just two out of many features. Let’s see how the unit performs and whether it is able to surpass their Capstone series.
As the Kepler architecture gets more affordable, we want to take a look at Zotac’s GeForce GTX 660 graphics card.
It's been nearly 6 months since the launch of the first Kepler GPUs, and due to 28nm production difficulties NVIDIA has spent the last 6 months with a sizable hole in their video card lineup between their high-end and budget cards. Since the launch of the GTX 680 in March, NVIDIA has launched the GTX 670 and much more recently the GTX 660 Ti to help close that gap, but they have still been in need of a true midrange GPU for mainstream cards. Today that hole is filling being filled, as NVIDIA is ready to launch the 3rd and final consumer Kepler GPU for the year. With GK104 at the high-end and GK107 at the low-end, the task of filling out the middle will fall to NVIDIA’s latest GPU: GK106.
As given away by the model number, GK106 is designed to fit in between GK104 and GK107. GK106 offers a more modest collection of functional blocks in exchange for a smaller die size and lower power consumption, making it a perfect fit for NVIDIA’s mainstream desktop products. GK106’s launch vehicle will be the GeForce GTX 660, the central member of NVIDIA’s mainstream video card lineup. GTX 660 is designed to come in between GTX 660 Ti and GTX 650 (also launching today), bringing Kepler and its improved performance down to the same $230 price range that the GTX 460 launched at nearly two years ago. NVIDIA has had a tremendous amount of success with the GTX 560 and GTX 460 families, so they’re looking to maintain this momentum with the GTX 660.
In 2013, 4th generation Intel Core processor family based on "Haswell" microarchitecture will bring faster, thinner, lighter, cooler, more secure systems with built-in graphics to mainstream.
This Cooler Master cooler is not very expensive, but boasts quite a few interesting technical implementations. Will they be enough to make this cooler look good against the background of the price segment leader ?
<p><span style="font-size: small; ">As part of the Computex 2012 show, Gigabyte demonstrated to us their new version of Ultra Durable. This fifth iteration of their power delivery combines their previous features with a new phase from International Rectifier, which is marketed to offer up to a 60°C lower temperature than traditional MOSFET solutions. Initially this new design is being paired with six motherboards, all designated with UP rather than UD in the name. The first of these we have in is the X79X-UP5 WiFi, which combines Ultra Durable 5 with the C606 chipset. The C606 chipset is the server version of the X79 chipset, which enables increased IO and up to eight SAS ports. </span></p>

Today we are going to talk about one more unique graphics accelerator based on GeForce GTX 680 GPU. How does it differ from the previously reviewed Hi-End graphics accelerators on Nvidia “Kepler” processor ?
<p><span style="font-size: small; "><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; ">The end of summer marks the start of the X79 refresh line. We are, at best estimates, coming up to half-way in the Sandy Bridge-E life as the top of the line processor range before Ivy Bridge-E comes to market. Both chips will be expected to run on X79 and the next chipset. But in the meantime, manufacturers are coming up with ways to reinvigorate their X79 line up. So insert ASRock, and the ASRock X79 Extreme11. This motherboard comes with two PLX PEX 8747 chips, making up to 72 PCIe lanes available. This are split into 64 for the PCIe slots (x16/x16/x16/x16 capable), and eight are directed to an LSI SAS 2308 PCIe 3.0 chip, which allows RAID 0, 1 and 10 on eight SATA ports, for a peak throughput of up to 4.0 GBps from eight drives in RAID-0.</span></span></p>
