(PR) Samsung Starts Mass Producing Industry's First 8 Gb GDDR5 Memory
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology, announced today that it has begun mass producing the industry's first 8 gigabit (Gb) GDDR5 DRAM, based on the company's leading-edge 20-nanometer (nm) process technology. GDDR5 is the most widely used discrete graphics memory in the world.
Designed for use in graphics cards for PCs and supercomputing applications, and on-board graphics memory for game consoles and notebook PCs, discrete graphics DRAM provides an extensive amount of bandwidth to process large high quality graphically-oriented data streams. With the rising popularity of 3-D games and UHD video content soon to be widespread, the need for high-performance, high-bandwidth graphics memory has begun to rapidly increase.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X To Feature Tweakable Idle Fan-off Mode
Taking advantage of the low TDP of GeForce GTX 970 and GTX 980, several NVIDIA add-in card (AIC) partners such as ASUS, MSI, and Palit, innovated their VGA cooling solutions to feature idle fan-off. Such a feature lets the card turn its fans completely off, when the GPU is idling, or is below a temperature threshold, making the card completely silent when not gaming. NVIDIA plans to standardize this with its next-generation GeForce GTX TITAN X graphics card.
Given that its TITAN family of super high-end graphics cards never get to be custom-designed by AICs, NVIDIA has decided to standardize an idle fan-off feature of its own. Unlike AICs, who have used specialized fan-controller chips that take auxiliary temperature input to decide when to turn the fan off, NVIDIA's approach will be more driver-based. Future drivers accompanying the GTX TITAN X will offer a new feature, which when enabled, lets you choose between a non-linear fan curve that keeps the fan off; and one that runs it at low speeds. This should let the driver power the fan of a GTX TITAN X completely off, until it reaches a temperature threshold, and only then begin to ramp up speeds. It could help not just idle (desktop), but also light-gaming scenarios (think League of Legends).

Silverstone Shows Off Sugo SG12 SFF Case
Silverstone showed off the latest addition to its Sugo line of compact cases, the SG12. This small form-factor case can seat a micro-ATX motherboard. It features a steel frame, with aluminium panels. Breaking from tradition, Silverstone added a bright color applique to the front-bezel, to liven things up. There's a full-size 5.25-inch drive bay, sitting above a couple of USB 3.0 front-panel ports, and standard HDA jacks.
Internally, the SG12 seats a micro-ATX motherboard, with room for two fairly long graphics cards. A standard ATX PSU bay hovers over the motherboard tray, so tall fin-stack heatsinks may not make it to your build. There are three 3.5-inch, and nine 2.5-inch drive bays internally. Fans include a 120 mm intake, and two 80 mm. The case measures 270 mm x 212 mm x 393 mm (WxHxD).
