(PR) Cooltek Announces the X4 Chassis
With the X4 we present another noise-insulated midi-tower case, after the X3 has been received so well since its launch in July 2014. As with the X3, the focus of this newest model rests also on a functional and attractive exterior as well as an efficient noise reduction. The lower part of the plastic front of the compact case has been designed to look like brushed aluminum, giving the X4 a trivalent appearance. In the upper part, two external 5.25 inch drive bays for the installation of optical drives are located.



A main feature of the attractive mid-tower is without doubt the soundproofing, which is a rare feature in this price range. Side panels and top cover are lined with sound-absorbing foam. Another feature of the X4 is the possibility to install up to five 3.5 inch drives, despite its compact measurements. As with the X3, an 80 mm fan is located at the rear of the case, which removes the heated air from the case interior. Externally 1 x USB 2.0, 1 x USB 3.0 and HD Audio ports are available.

First PCB Shots of GeForce GTX TITAN-X Surface
Here are the first PCB shots of NVIDIA's next-gen flagship graphics card, the GeForce GTX TITAN-X. At the heart of this beast is the swanky new 28 nm GM200 silicon, which is rumored to feature 3072 CUDA cores based on the "Maxwell" architecture, a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, with NVIDIA's latest memory bandwidth management mojo, a staggering 96 ROPs, and 12 GB of memory. The design goal is probably 4K to 5K gaming with a single card, at reasonably high settings. The GM200 silicon appears slightly bigger than the GK110, NVIDIA's previous big chip.



The display I/O of this card looks identical to that of the GTX 980. We're not sure if the DVI connector will make it to the final design. There are no shots of the VRM, although given this architecture's track-record, we don't expect the TITAN-X to have any heavier power requirements than the GTX 780 Ti (6-pin + 8-pin power inputs). NVIDIA is expected to launch the GTX TITAN-X within this quarter. Don't hold off on your GTX 980 purchases just yet, because NVIDIA tends to overprice its "TITAN" branded graphics cards.
