Nem csoda, nincs benne semmilyen szenzor. És kit érdekel, ha tönkremegy, úgyis olcsó.

I’ve been toying around with updating my computer lately, and one of the topics I wanted to look at was the choice of power supply. For the most part, we’ve long since moved beyond the days where power supplies that cost under $60 are garbage. There are plenty of decent power supplies available, particularly if you don’t mind taking a step down from the latest and greatest in terms of efficiency. Anyway, I was helping a friend put together a new PC the other day and it got me curious.

First, let’s start with the system build he put together, with some input from me. Note that many of the parts were selected based on price and availability on Amazon.com, as that’s where he wanted to purchase the parts (with his Amazon Prime account). In some cases, prices have changed since the purchase a week ago, so shop around as needed. Also note that he used a GTX 780, but I’ve also run some power use tests with just the iGPU as well as with a low-end Radeon HD 7750.

Custom-Built Intel Haswell PC
Component	Description	Price
Processor	Intel Core i5-4670K (Quad-core 3.4-3.8GHz, 6MB L3, 22nm, 84W)	$220
Motherboard	ASRock Z87M PRO4 (mATX)	$135
Memory	Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB DDR3-1866 (9-10-9-27, CMY16GX3M2A1866C9)	$190
NVIDIA Graphics	EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB (2304 CUDA Cores at 967-1020MHz, 6GHz GDDR5)	$520
AMD Graphics	Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 1GB (Alternative GPU) (512 Cores at 800MHz, 4.5GHz GDDR5)	$85
Integrated Graphics	Intel HD Graphics 4600 (20 EUs at 350-1200MHz)	N/A
SSD	Corsair Neutron 256GB	$187
HDD	Western Digital 2TB Mainstream (WDBH2D0020HNC)	$80
Optical Drive	ASUS 24X DVDRW SATA (DRW-24B1ST)	$22
Case	Silverstone PS07B (mATX)	$79
Power Supply	Antec EA-450 Platinum (450W)	$70
Power Supply	Cooler Master GX-450 (450W Bronze) (Alternative)	$49
Operating System	Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (OEM)	$89
Total Price (not including tax or shipping, with GTX 780 and Platinum PSU)		$1592

Now I’m not equipped to tell you about the quality of voltage regulation, ripple, or anything like that, but I happened to have a 450W 80 Plus Bronze PSU that I could use as a comparison point, so I asked if I could take some quick measurements once the system was put together. He agreed, and I ran through a few typical scenarios, summarized in the table below. (Note that I had to use a Molex to 8-pin PEG power adapter in order to run the GTX 780 on the old Thermaltake PSU; everything worked, but that wouldn’t be a solution I’d be comfortable with long-term.)

Bronze vs. Platinum System Power Draw (Kill-A-Watt)
Test Load	Thermaltake Litepower 450W	Antec EA-450 EarthWatts Platinum	24/7 Yearly Savings
iGPU – Idle	34	27	61.4 kWh (~$7.68)
iGPU – Cinebench Single-Core	63	55	70.1 kWh (~$8.76)
iGPU – Cinebench Multi-Core	96	86	87.7 kWh (~$10.96)
iGPU – Cinebench OpenGL	103	92	96.4 kWh (~$12.05)
AMD 7750 – Idle	45	38	61.4 kWh (~$7.68)
AMD 7750 – 3DMark	131	121	87.7 kWh (~$10.96)
NVIDIA 780 – Idle	48	41	61.4 kWh (~$7.68)
NVIDIA 780 – 3DMark	348	325	201.6 kWh (~$25.20)

For power costs, we’re looking at the worst-case scenario of leaving a system on 24/7, which really isn’t realistic unless you’re talking about a server. For a typical PC that’s on eight hours a day, using the US national average price for electricity ($0.125 per kWh), we’re looking at electrical savings of anywhere from $2.56 to $8.40 per year. That may not seem like much, but considering any decent power supply should last five years and you’re looking at $12.80 to $42 in savings. That’s for a $21 difference in upfront costs, which is much smaller than what we’ve seen in the past for the most efficient power supplies – and note that the price difference tends to grow substantially when you’re shopping for 800-1200W PSUs, though that’s perhaps a topic for another day.

For a system that mostly sits idle, you won’t quite break even by going with an 80 Plus Platinum power supply. However, if there’s a graphics card installed and you do a moderate amount of gaming you should eventually come out ahead. More extreme use cases (e.g. 24/7 Folding@Home) start to rapidly recover the initial investment in a quality power supply, and when you consider the reduced heat and noise that comes with having a more efficient PSU, it’s definitely a worthwhile upgrade. Not all 80 Plus Platinum power supplies are created equal, of course, but generally speaking the electronics and engineering required to get that certification also come with a higher level of quality than what you’ll find in lower efficiency PSUs.

As far as the above system build is concerned, I like most of the component selections, but I’m not totally sold on the case. The Silverstone PS07B looks nice enough, but getting all of the wires connected can be a bit difficult at times. The SSD location on the bottom in particular is a bit of a pain, and the power supply location at the top has some silliness to go with it. The PSU location appears designed to work with the PSU upside down (i.e. fan facing upwards and drawing in fresh air), but the manual for the case notes that if you have a PSU with a 120mm or larger fan, they recommend installing it with the fan facing down. I'm not sure that I've ever seen a PSU with a fan smaller than 120mm where you have ventilation through the bottom, but whatever. If you follow the manual’s instructions, that means the ventilation holes in the top of the case along with the magnetic dust filter are completely pointless. I ignored the instructions and installed the power supply in the most sensible manner for the case, but my advice is to look at some of the other good mATX cases.

The Silverstone PS07B isn’t a bad case, but it’s not perfect either, and for the price I think you can do better. (Apologies to my friend for his taste in cases….) For mATX, I’d at least give the BitFenix Prodigy M or Corsair’s Obsidian 350D a look. If you want a larger case, there are tons of options to sort through, depending on what you're after. Other changes you might consider include sticking with 8GB RAM (2x4GB) initially, going with a midrange GPU like a GeForce GTX 770 or Radeon R9 280X, and there are quite a few motherboard options to consider as well. The i5-4670K still strikes a nice balance between price and performance, and with a bit of overclocking you can stretch its legs a bit further.

Anyway, that’s my little two-for-one special for the day: a quick look at the difference in power use you can expect from 80 Plus Bronze vs. Platinum (obviously 80 Plus Silver and Gold will be closer in power use, but they’re also closer in price), along with a list of parts that I’ve recently used in a friend’s PC. If you have any recommendations or complaints with the build, sound off in the comments.

2007 végén a Red Bull három évre írt volna alá vele - ő viszont a Renault-t választotta...

Nem az Alcatel az egyetlen gyártó, aki egy 4,3 inches telefont mininek hív. Az árat is ennek megfelelően lőtték be, ám néhány ponton a hardver is a csökkentés jegyeit viseli magán.

A NotebookItalia számolt be arról, hogy a HP tervezi frissíteni az elkövetkező hónapokban (valószínűleg jövőre) az Envy 15 és Envy 15 TouchSmart notebookot. Ennek érdekessége az, hogy a várható konfigurációs lehetőségek is kiszivárogtak, amelyben új, még be sem mutatott komponensekkel találkozhatunk.

A kiszivárgott dokumentum egyik részében a processzor frissítéséről van szó, az Envy 15 modellek elérhetőek lesznek Intel fronton hét új Haswell processzorral: Core i3-4000M, i5-4200M, i5-4330M, i7-4700MQ, 4702MQ-i7, i7-4800MQ és i7-4900MQ. Jön azonban az új AMD Richland APU négy modellje is, mint az A4-5150M, az A6-5350M, az A8-5550M és az A10-5750M. Az AMD processzorral szerelt konfigurációkba AMD Radeon HD 8750M videokártya is kerülhet 2 GB VRAM-mal, amely párhuzamosan működik majd az APU-ba integrált GPU-val.

Az Intel processzorral szerelt verzióba NVIDIA videokártya kerül majd, ráadásul nem is akármilyen. A jelenleg piacon lévő GeForce GT 740M és GT 750M mellett feltűnt a specifikációs listában a még be sem jelentett, jövőre debütáló GeForce GT 840M modell is. Ez a VGA már az új Maxwell családba tartozik, amely a Keplert váltja. Az új videokártya 960 MHz-es órajelen üzemel majd, illetve 2 GB RAM-mal rendelkezik.

Az Envy 15 és Envy 15 TouchSmart jövő évi modelljei is 15,6"-os kijelzőt kapnak, amelyek elérhetőek lesznek HD (1366×768) és FullHD (1920×1080) opcióval is. Ezen kívül maximum 16 GB 1600 MHz-es memóriát képes fogadni. Adattárolásra 500 GB, 640 GB, 750 GB, 1 TB és 1,5 TB kapacitás áll majd rendelkezésre 5400 RPM-mel, vagy kérhető lesz SSD-vel, 256, vagy 512 GB kapacitással.

Az új modellek AMD-vel szerelve csak Windows 8.1-gyel érkeznek, míg az inteles modellek esetében várható a Linux operációs rendszer elérhetősége is.

PowerColor hat eine zweite Variante der Radeon R9 270X ins Portfolio aufgenommen, die den bislang höchsten Chiptakt aller erhältlichen Karten bietet. Die PowerColor Devil R9 270X arbeitet mit einem Boost-Takt von bis zu 1.180 MHz und übertrifft damit die bisher schnellsten Karten von MSI und Sapphire um 30 MHz.

Szilánkszörny támad az új konzolon, a kontrollerbe cuki droidok költöztek, de azért nem sietjük el a PS4 vásárlását. Ami – szégyen! – nálunk előbb jelenik meg, mint Japánban.

 Sony’s PS4 is releasing soon, and most of its vital details have been revealed at this point. But there are still a million little questions like, “What titles will be available at launch?”, or “Is the hard drive upgradable?” Now Sony has released an exhaustive list of information about the Playstation 4 that should answer all your questions!

Sony has taken steps to cover all its bases with the massive PS4 compendium it released today. The “Ultimate PS4 FAQ” attempts to address every question that might arise before the release of the Sony’s Next-Gen Console. The Playstation 4 releases on November 15th in the U.S., and November 29th in Europe an other markets, so anything this FAQ might have missed will be revealed soon.

Until then, quite a few burning questions (and a few that are, frankly, pretty obscure) have been answered. As we’ve been hearing, the PS4 internal hard drive can be upgraded with a larger drive that fits certain specs. However, external hard drives aren’t compatible as storage for the console.

Of course, most people want to know about the launch line up. I have to say, it’s a little disappointing. But with the huge list of titles on deck, it shouldn’t be long until that line up is beefed up. Check out the list below, it’s followed by an excerpt of the System Details section of Sony’s FAQ.

Microsoft loves its massive publicity stunts. Recently the company erected a giant Microsoft Surface in London’s Trafalgar Square. The latest monumental move by the company is a building-sized Xbox One that recently showed up in Vancouver B.C.

The console is 40 feet long and 20 feet wide, and is currently lurking in a parking lot in the Canadian city. But if enough people pledge their Xbox Live gamertags, the giant Xbone will “unlock”. What that means exactly isn’t clear, will they be wheeling in a giant flat screen? Maybe a Kinect that you need to stand a mile away to use?

Microsoft, if you hear this, we want a giant Clippy!

Intels Kleinst-PC-Standard NUC steht jetzt auch mit „Haswell“-CPUs im Handel. Wir testen das Topmodell D54250WYK mit einem Fokus auf Leistung, Verbrauch und Lautstärke. Sind die Kompatibilitätsfragen geklärt, frohlockt das System mit einem Leerlaufverbrauch von sechs Watt. Unter Last macht allerdings der Lüfter Radau.

A Realbench alkalmazás ingyenesen használható, és első körben három tesztet kínál.

China’s ZTE has officially announced three new, affordable smartphones aimed at European markets, all part of the same series and all running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The handsets are ZTE Blade Q Mini, ZTE Blade Q, and ZTE Blade Q Maxi.

As its name suggests, the Blade Q Mini is the smallest among the three. It features a 4 inch WVGA display and a 1,500 mAh battery. The Blade Q has a 4.5 inch FWVGA (854 x 480) display and a 1,800 mAh battery, while the Blade Q Maxi comes with a 5 inch FWVGA display and a 2,000 mAh battery. The rest of their features are similar, including: 5MP rear camera, VGA front-facing camera, HSPA+ connectivity, dual-core 1.3GHz MediaTek processor, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of internal memory.

Exact pricing and availability details have not been unveiled.

“The popularity of the Blade series across Europe proves that there is real consumer appetite for high performance smartphones at a great price. The features available across the Blade handsets redefine ‘value for money’ in the smartphone market, and we’re confident that the ZTE Blade Q range will continue to grow ZTE’s position in Europe,” declared AO Wen, General Manager of ZTE Handsets Europe.

ZTE’s approach is similar to Samsung’s strategy – the South Korean company is selling Galaxy smartphones of all sizes, from small 3 inch ones to 6 inch models.

Google is doing a really nice thing for New York by donating $2.7 million worth of Nexus tablets to all business communities affected by Hurricane Sandy. The king of search will be distributing 17,000 tablets to a couple hundred places in harmed areas, including libraries, senior centers and business and community centers.

In response to Google’s kind charity, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said “Private donations like these are critical in aiding local communities in our ongoing recovery. We thank Google for helping New York build back better than before.”

This kind gesture by Google is sort of emblematic to what transpired last year, when the company had to postpone the launch of its Nexus 10 tablet because of the Hurricane Sandy super storm.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is available in two different configurations – with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset or with the company’s own Exynos 5420 Octa SoC. In our review, we tested the Snapdragon 800 variant of the phablet (N9005) and it nearly tops all of the benchmark charts. Now, as we got our hands [...]

It seemed like a foregone conclusion that the 10-inch tablet market was done for, with all interest and excitement shifting to smaller, but equally capable 7 or 8-inch tablets instead. It also seemed like 15-inch notebook computers were done for a couple of years ago, then Apple launched the MacBook Pro with Retina Display. In a similar vein, last week Apple introduced the iPad Air.

A significant re-imagining of the original 9.7-inch iPad, the Air breathes new life into the platform. Much like the rMBP, the iPad Air borrows a lot of the learnings from its more popular ultraportable counterpart. I don’t know that it will curb enthusiasm over the iPad mini, particularly now that the new mini shares the same hardware platform (including display), but it levels the playing field between the two models.
