Cooler Master Introduces GX-Series Power Supplies

Cooler Master is introducing a new line of power supplies designed for upper- and high-end gaming systems. The Cooler Master GX Series power supplies will be offered in 550W, 650W and 750W models, although Cooler Master has said it will only offer the two latter models in the U.S. The PSUs feature a single 12V rail designed to power dual graphics card systems whether you're running a SLI or CrossFireX setup. The 750W model comes with NVIDIA SLI certification and offers four PCI Express power connectors.

The GX-series power supplies are all up to 85% power efficiency and are 80 plus rated. The units also feature bulk capacitors with a >17ms hold up time which means that the power supply will be able to handle peak loads better, low noise dual layer EMI filters that reduces noise in the power lines and an energy efficient dual mode Active PFC/PWM controller. Cooling for each unit is provided by a single 120mm fan and all are backed by a five-year warranty. Cooler Master didn't provide any pricing or availability information.

20" OLED TVs by LG Coming This Year

As we hope, OLED display devices are the way of the future. They produce higher quality images, better colours, the brightest whites and the darkest blacks. Only problem is, it’s expensive and not as profitable as LCD TFT displays are. LG plans to release 20” OLED displays in the later part of this year, with 30” displays coming in 2011 and 40” coming in 2012, although Engadget has reported that they will be coming this year as well, but we’ll have to wait and see. Soon, the largest OLED screen to be available at retail is LG’s own 15” TV. It’s only 0.1” thick, but will come at a hefty price of $2,000 which is at least more reasonable than Sony’s $2500 11” display. Still, we can only be assured by that fact that the 20” TV will cost a whole lot more, definitely into the $3000 range, possibly even more. Stick around for hopefully some more news later on throughout the year.
