The last time we built the RGBaby, a neat, tidy, and small RGB system that was easy to carry around, we used a Jonsbo A4 case. Now, Jonsbo has built another small chassis, this time the BO 100, as spotted by Hermitage Akihabara.
This case takes a different approach, instead placing a 4mm thick tempered glass window at the front with a nice aluminum enclosure around the system. It also has a leather carrying strap, making it look a bit like a high-tech handbag.
It’s only suited for use with Mini-ITX boards and dual-slot graphics cards. Due to the limited GPU length of 207mm, 140mm wide, and 48mm thick, you won’t get the biggest GPUs into here, and certainly not an RTX 3090 — you’ll need a short-format card for this case, but that’s a sacrifice you’re willing to make for an SFF system, right?

However, despite being placed close to the side, the GPU should get decent cooling due to the perforation in the side panel that supplies it with fresh air. The CPU can be well-off, too, with space for CPU coolers up to 158mm tall, or you can opt to install a 120mm AIO.
The entire internal chassis is made from steel and slides right out the back of the case. This should make assembly quite easy with open access from all sides.
Only SFX and SFX-L power supplies are supported, and the front I/O consists of USB Type-C, two USB 3.0 ports, and one audio/mic combo jack.
Jonsbo hasn’t announced pricing or availability yet.

Coming in at around the £200 mark, this high-end B550 offering features an actively cooled 8+2 power stage design, dual M.2 sockets, plentiful quantities of 10Gbps USB on the rear and internally, and high-speed wired and wireless networking connectivity. ASUS also included a unique feature in its USB Type-C audio connector.
£200 is steep for a B550 motherboard, even in the typically more expensive Mini-ITX form factor. And with tough competition from the similarly priced ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming-ITX/AX motherboard in particular, can ASUS’ ROG STRIX B550-I Gaming prove its worth? Let’s take a look.

Page 1: DeepCool MACUBE 110 in the test: Visually and financially unobtrusive
DeepCool wants to use the MACUBE 110 thrifty buyers a Mini -Tower that is both discreetly designed and solidly equipped. In the test we find out whether this 50 – Euro model really deserves a price-performance recommendation.
The selection of Micro-ATX cases is relatively small. With the MACUBE 100 DeepCool has brought exactly such a model onto the market. Two points in particular are noticeable: First, the extremely reduced design. The MACUBE 100 appears as a simple steel cuboid and also without RGB lighting. But there is at least one glass side panel. If you like, you can at least illuminate the interior. There is a choice of black and white color variants.
On the other hand, the mini-tower should also attract with a low price. Currently it costs around 53 Euro. Nevertheless, DeepCool promises enough space for mid-height tower coolers and most graphics cards. Up to six fan slots can be used for cooling. Also two dual radiator places for 225 – or 280 – mm radiators are not missing.

Page 1: Razer Tomahawk ATX in the test: Midi-Tower with Razer Chroma RGB and swing doors
Razer is entering the case segment – and we are testing the company’s first midi tower with the Tomahawk ATX. This gaming case already attracts attention visually with its Razer Chroma RGB lighting and glass swing doors. But does the Tomahawk ATX also have a functional impact?
Razer was previously not on the list as a case supplier. But if Seasonic as a power supply manufacturer brings an at least exciting case onto the market, why shouldn’t Razer also succeed? Especially since Razer already offers products far beyond the input device segment. Entry into the housing market should be successful with two models. The Tomahawk Mini-ITX is offered as the basis for powerful, but space-saving gaming systems. The Tomahawk ATX, on the other hand, is designed as a midi tower and supports a maximum of E-ATX mainboards.
Both models have a similar design with a minimalist shape but eye-catching lighting embossed. Both a central Razer logo in the front and underbody lighting light up. Swinging doors made of glass, which make the interior easily accessible in both models, are also striking.
Another thing both models have in common is their high price. The Tomahawk Mini-ITX should 199, 99 Euro. For the full-blown Tomahawk ATX, Razer uses 229, 99 Euro.

Everything seems to indicate that Intel fans still working on computers with Haswell or Skylake processors that are several years old, they will soon have good reasons to switch to newer hardware. As we know, the Blue’s performance progress has not been very impressive in recent years, but fortunately the situation will be different in a few months. Rocket Lake chips (Core 11. Generation) based on the new Cypress Cove architecture, which should guarantee a noticeable increase in IPC even despite the same lithography 14 nm . Not only that, the effects of the new technology are already visible after the first leaks, where the upcoming systems record good results. Now we have another piece of evidence in the form of early Intel Core i9 testing – 11900 on CPU-Z.
I have to admit that such a low clocked processor performed extremely well. So it is easy to imagine the Rocket Lake result if it only worked with the announced clock rates at the level of ~ 5.0 GHz.
“src =” https://www.purepc.pl/image/news/2020/12 / 20 _ intel_core_i9 _ 11900 _ in the_engineering_zostal_tested_w_cpu_z_wydajnosciowo_dorownuje_the most powerful_comet_lake_om_0.jpg ”
Intel Core processors 11. Generation is not only Rocket Lake? Core i3, Pentium and Celeron models can be Comet Lake Refresh systems
An 8-core engineering model fell into the hands of an unknown tester / 16 – threaded Core i9 – 11900, which was characterized by quite low clock speeds – basically it worked at 1.8 GHz, for it accelerated to 3.8 GHz for all cores and 4.4 GHz for a single core. We just don’t know if these frequencies correspond to Thermal Velocity Boost or Turbo Boost Max 3.0 mode. The processor was tested on the MSI Z motherboard 490 And (probably the UNIFY model) made in Mini-ITX format with LGA socket 1200, which is adapted to support both Core processors 11. and 10. generation. According to the published announcement, the current BIOS does not support the new integrated Xe graphics.
Intel Core i9 – 11900 K tested in Ashes of the Singularity
You have to admit that such a low-clocked processor did extremely well. With a score of 582 points in the single-threaded built-in benchmark in CPU-Z, the upcoming Rocket Lake has almost caught up with the current top 10 – Core i9 – 10900 K. In the multi-thread test, he managed to get 5262 points, which in turn translates into a slightly weaker result than the Core i7 – 10700. This sounds promising – it’s easy to imagine the Rocket Lake result if it only worked with the announced clock speeds of ~ 5.0 GHz.

SilverStone SUGO 14 Mini-ITX Cube Chassis Review
Looking for a Mini-ITX chassis that supports a proper high-end GPU?
Update 11/28/2020 02:00 PT: It would appear that the one of the screws that hold the PCIe riser cable in its place is the culprit. One Redditor was greeted with smoke when powering up his system for the first time, while another Redditor had an encounter with flames.
NZXT hasn’t confirmed the possible cause of the fire hazard. Nevertheless, Central Computers previously shared a message from a NZXT representative that reportedly confirms the speculation around the screw. Apparently, the retailer has removed the statement, but an archive of the communique is still available.
The NZXT representative’s message reads as follows:
We do need to halt sales due to the fact that a top screw has caused 1 case screw on the case to spark and possibly catch fire. We do have a fix for this, but we would need to halt sales for this product until we are able to get you guys the screw per units that you do have. If you have already purchased the unit and are experiencing the issue, please contact the NZXT customer service team (https://www.nzxt.com/customer-support) directly to get the screw and receive a tutorial on how to fix the issue. Our first step today was to put a full stop on all sell through of this model and quarantine any inventories in the channel. We will be reworking all units to quickly put them back into a saleable position. The modification is a very simple replacement of one single screw; but something that we need to do nonetheless.
Original story:
The NZXT H1 has turned into a popular choice for PC builders putting together compact systems. However, NZXT has discovered that a small percentage of the cases might present a safety issue to its consumers.
Through a rather short Reddit post, NZXT has urged H1 owners to reach out to the company’s customer service team through the h1support@nzxt.com email. The case manufacturer didn’t provide any explanations as to what the cause of the recall could be. Notwithstanding, the issue might not be a major one since NZXT is preparing a simple repair kit that H1 owners can install on their own.
Unlike other mini-ITX cases, the H1 comes with a 650W SFX power supply and a custom-tailored 140mm AIO liquid cooler. We suspect that the issue may be related to one of those parts.
One Redditor claimed that the problem could be attributed to a tiny screw that specifically secures the PCIe graphics card riser mount. The screw is reportedly shorting out the system and causing it to not work properly. The same Redditor shared his experience that his system would automatically reset if there is any pressure on the portion of the case where the graphics card is housed.
NZXT’s statement is as follows:
NZXT has identified a potential safety issue with H1 cases and we are working with the US Consumer Products Safety Commission along with the proper global authorities to notify our customers and provide them with a solution.
While we believe this issue only impacts a small percentage of cases, we are playing it safe and have paused sales of the H1 and are developing a simple-to-use repair kit that H1 owners can install themselves without having to ship their cases anywhere.
If you’d like more information about this matter, please contact our customer service team so they can assist you by emailing h1support@nzxt.com
So far no mainboard manufacturer has tried to use AMD’s large SP3 socket with its 4. 094 To accommodate contacts on a mini-ITX mainboard, which is not an easy undertaking due to the large dimensions of the CPU socket. Using a proprietary mainboard format called “Deep Mini-ITX”, ASRock Rack has now dared to take this step with the ROME4ID-2T and thus offers the most compact mainboard for AMD’s Epyc processors of the 7002 – Series (Rome, Zen 2).
Since the large CPU socket and the four DDR4 (L) RDIMM Memory banks would not fit on the ordinary Mini-ITX-PCB, ASRock Rack widened the PCB a bit and appropriately named the proprietary construction “Deep Mini-ITX”. AMD’s Epyc 7002 processors based on the Zen-2 architecture bring an IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) with Octa- Channel support with, but on the ASRock Rack ROME4ID-2T four RAM slots must be sufficient for the quad-channel interface and can accommodate up to 64 GB DDR4-RDIMM or 128 GB DDR4-LRDIMM. Up to 251 GB RAM (LRDIMM) should also be possible here, but a validation on the part of the system ASRock Rack is still pending for this. In any case, it goes up to a maximum of 3. 200 MHz of effective memory clock rate.
For the basic power supply there is no 16 – pin connector used. Everything is controlled via two 8-pin and two 4-pin connectors. Basically, the system can be expanded using PCIe 4.0 x 06, in which, for example, a hardware RAID controller can be placed. But apart from that, the ASRock Rack ROME4ID-2T also offers some storage connections onboard. In addition to the M.2 M-Key interface (PCIe 4.0 x4 or SATA 6GBit / s), ASRock Rack has also installed a total of six slimline connections, each connected with PCIe 4.0 x8. Two of them can be used for up to 16 Use SATA 6GBit / s devices. Overall, therefore, of the 094 PCIe 4.0 lanes from the Epyc processor only around half of it is effectively used.
Admittedly, there is not much on the I / O panel, but everything important is represented there. Not just two USB 3.2 Gen1, but also two 10 – GBit / s-RJ 45 – Network connections via Intel’s X 438 – AT2 controller, a VGA graphics output and a UID button / LED are also represented. What remains is a management LAN port for the IPMI 2.0 feature for (remote) administration. The whole thing is done via the ASpeed AST 2500 – BMC controller (Baseboard Management Controller).
Unfortunately, so far neither a release date nor a price for the ASRock Rack ROME4ID-2T are known. However, the board is an interesting piece of hardware for very compact server / workstation applications.
Streacom has just announced its new case for computers, completely passive and in SFF format, being able to house only Mini-ITX motherboards. shapes and colors. Without going any further, two days ago we saw one in the shape of a pyramid by Azza, but other manufacturers such as In Win also have quite curious models. There are, of course, the boxes that act as a heatsink themselves, thus admitting internal components that do not require active cooling and, therefore, completely silent. This is the new Streacom DB1 Fanless , an extremely small tower with dimensions of 222 x 222 x 101 mm , which does not add up to 5 liters of volume.
In it c open Mini-ITX motherboards and can dissipate processors up to 45 W of TDP passively. You cannot add any graphics card due to space and cooling limitations, so we will only have the iGPU of the processor. The power supplies it supports are in NanoPSU format, but Streacom also offers its own source, the Nano 90, with 90 W of power and that it was perfectly adapted to this box (it will be sold separately.
In the Streacom DB1 Fanless We can put a storage unit in format 2.5 “and another M.2 depending on the motherboard. We have a USB 3.0 front that can be replaced by a USB-C. The box goes on sale for 109 Euros at the first quarter of 2021, while the source will come out by 59 Euros.

With 15 Years ago I started overclocking my PC to get every extra FPS I could in games and scratch a few milliseconds in SuperPi, while I was constantly posting about hardware in the Geeknetic forum as a user and reader. They must have been so fed up with continually reading me on the forum that I became part of the writing team, where I continue to report on the latest in technology. Astrophysics and PC games are the hobbies that, after hardware, cover most of my free time.
When we think of processors for servers, data centers, computing such as AMD EPYC Rome, we imagine machines in Rack format, or large towers with ATX motherboards or larger. This is why the latest proposal from ASRock through its ASRock Rack range is so striking: the ROMED4ID-2T motherboard.
This board with 4094 socket SP3 supports AMD Epyc ROME series 7002 based on the Zen 2 architecture and all in a proprietary format similar to ITX, in fact ASrock calls it as “Deep mini-itx “, because although it keeps the width of 170 mm of mini-ITX plates, it is somewhat longer, going from 170 mm a little more than 208 mm. Even so, it is quite a logo to have a board with support for these CPUs, with such a large socket, in such a small size.
At the connectivity level, we have a fairly small repertoire of ports, with two USB 3.0, one VGA and four network ports. Two of them from 10 GbE. The reason for this is because it is a board designed for small servers that will not require direct physical interaction in the usual way.
The ASRock ROMED4ID-2T supports four DDR4 modules up to 256 GB
Offers four R-DIMM, LR-DIMM type DDR4 RAM memory slots o NV-DIMM with module support from up to 256 GB with a speed of 3. 200 MHz.
It is also not missing a PCI Express 4.0 x port 16, nor M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA and U.2 ports. Its price and availability are unknown at the moment.

MSI is getting ready to launch a new budget-oriented series of cards called Twin Fan. For now, it will only be available in RTX 3070 form, but we would expect to see a version for the rumoured RTX 3060Ti too eventually.
Once available, the Twin Fan graphics card will feature a dual-slot, dual-fan design with a clean black shroud, allowing it to fit in any build. To protect and prevent damage to the PCB and improve passive cooling, there’s a backplate that “complements the design”, making it look even better.
The fans generate more airflow and air pressure than common fans thanks to a “unique curve”. The GPU transfers the heat generated to a solid baseplate that connects to the heatsink through 3x copper heat pipes.
The RTX 3070 Twin Fan comes clocked 1500Mhz for the base clock and 1725MHz for the boost clock. The OC variant comes with the same base clock, but boosts up to 1740Mhz. The memory clock of both graphics cards come at the stock 14Gbps. Available video outputs include 3x DisplayPort 1.4a and an HDMI 2.1 port. To power the card, there’s an 8-pin power connector and a 6-pin power connector. The TDP is set at 220W for the standard version and 250W for the OC variant.
MSI hasn’t disclosed the pricing and availability of these cards yet. You can learn more about the MSI RTX 3070 Twin Fan HERE, and MSI RTX 3070 Twin Fan OC HERE.
