ENERMAX has announced that it has noticed some "higher than normal RMA rates" on the REVOLUTION D.F. 2 and REVOLUTION D.F. X series of power supplies. After a detailed investigation, the problem was identified as a faulty fan bearing, resulting in noise caused by oil leakage.

Although not all units have that issue, to make things right, ENERMAX is doing a voluntary product replacement program for those that bought either the REVOLUTION D.F. 2 or REVOLUTION D.F. X series PSUs in 2023. New units now use industrial-grade dual ball bearings. ENERMAX will handle all the shipping, and the company has started an advanced RMA process for those that need a quicker replacement. ENERMAX was keen to note that the original warranty would remain unaffected. You can check all the replacement program links for different regions after the break.

Harnessing the winds, the MX600 RGB's perfect storm of cooling features completely neutralizes the threat of overheating. Fully ventilated on all visible sides, this chassis channels omnidirectional air currents, minimizing running temperatures: the perforations are square instead of circular to ensure maximum airflow, the surface area of a square being greater than a circle with an equivalent diameter. To counteract the increased exposure to particles, the MX600 RGB is shielded against dust - the enemy of all PCs - with five strategically placed filters, extending the longevity of your components. Two integrated angular structures - one at the foot of the front panel and another to its side - guides airflow with finesse and precisely targets cooling at your GPU and CPU.

Moreover, the power unit cabin boasts a height of 110 mm, enhanced by a fully vented side cover that facilitates optimal air intake: this increased headroom allows for improved clearance and promotes efficient air circulation. The MX600 RGB is preinstalled with a 120 mm rear panel fan and 3x 140 mm PWM front panel fans. Equipped with a fan bracket on the power unit cabin for two fans, and the option to add three additional fans to the top panel, the MX600 RGB offers a maximum total capacity of nine fans. This impressive configuration maxes out cooling power, making being burned out of your game a thing of the past.

CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced its range-wide compatibility and readiness for Intel's new 14th Generation Intel Core processors. With a enormous range of tested and validated components such as DDR5 memory, all-in-one liquid CPU coolers, innovative and reliable power supplies, and blazing fast M.2 SSDs, you can be confident that CORSAIR components will pair exceptionally with the latest in Intel processors to help your PC reach its full potential.

The latest Core processors utilize Intel's new Performance Hybrid Architecture, featuring more efficiency-cores for the best gaming experience—even while streaming and encoding video. Other features, such as Intel Thread Director to keep background tasks from slowing down games and Smart Cache for smoother gameplay and faster load times, make 14th Gen Core processors a great choice for PC gaming. But it's not enough to just have the CPU; you need to complete your system with components that can keep up and tap into its full potential, and that's where CORSAIR comes in.

Hardware Busters put the new 12V-2x6 connector—which is part of the ATX v3.1 standard—to the test to see how it compares to the 12VHPWR connector and the results are very encouraging. Not only does the 12V-2x6 cables appear to run at much cooler temperature, even at a 55 Ampere load, although the setup that was tested had only been running at this load for around 30 minutes. Even so, the cable and connector was only reading a surface temperature of around 46 degrees, which is well within specs.

However, to show that the new connector wouldn't suffer the catastrophic failure that some 12VHPWR connectors have suffered due to not having been mated properly with the connector on the graphics card, the same test was also performed with the connector partially inserted. Based on the test equipment shown in the video, there was no variation in Voltage, Amps or temperature. The specific cable was produced by a company in China called Linewell that apparently makes the PSU cables for ASUS among others. The secret behind the improved connector is a combination of new pins inside the connector and the shorter auxiliary pins which means that a poorly inserted connector won't allow the GPU to request higher power levels from the PSU. The new pins inside of the connectors appear to be solving the thermal issues as well, so hopefully we won't be reading about any more melted connectors in the future. See the video after the break for more details.

Sparkle has announced the Titan OC graphics card, becoming the company's flagship Intel Arc A770 16 GB graphics card. It stands out with its 16 GB onboard memory, factory-overclocked GPU and memory, and an advanced cooling system for additional overclocking potential. After Sparkle's re-entry into the graphics card market, it unveiled a series of Intel Arc-based products. The Arc A770 Titan, in particular, showcases the company's technological advancements. The Sparkle Intel Arc A770 Titan OC Edition features Intel's ACM-G10 GPU with a base clock of 2300 MHz, which is a significant increase from Intel's stock 2100 MHz, and boasts a 16 GB memory with a 17.5 GT/s data transfer rate.

The card has two eight-pin auxiliary PCIe power connectors, yielding a 650-watt PSU requirement, and an expansive triple-fan cooling system for optimal performance even under heavy loads. A unique feature is the ThermalSync thermal sensor atop the cooler, which adjusts the LED light bar's color based on temperature, making it easier for users to monitor. When Intel discontinued its Limited Edition Arc A770 16 GB graphics card, there was a gap in the market for a high-performance graphics card to rival offerings from ASRock and Acer. Sparkle hasn't revealed the pricing for its Intel Arc A770 Titan OC Edition GPU.

Corsair rolled out a handy accessory that should help cable management in builds with graphics cards that have 16-pin 12VHPWR power connectors. Called simply the 12VHPWR GPU Power Bridge, the contraption inverts the power connector 180° as shown in the pictures below; so your power cable emerging from behind the motherboard tray doesn't have to make that turn. The Power Bridge hence reduces mechanical stress on the power cable from your PSU.

Unlike several such 180° power bridges of generic brands floating around online retail, some of which even convert 8-pin PCIe to a 12VHPWR; the Corsair Power Bridge comes with the quality assurance that comes with the badge. The company claims to have extensively tested it for endurance. The internal wiring between the two connectors on the bridge is tested to withstand 105 °C temperatures. Please note, that the bridge is not physically compatible with the ASUS ROG Strix and TUF Gaming graphics cards. The company is backing this with a 1-year warranty.

Designed to support current and future standards, the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 W/850 W Gold FTW Series is fully-compliant with ATX12V V3.0 and PCIe Gen 5.0 standards. This means you can use these power supplies with your current system or the system you want to build. More to the point, these power supplies are built to support up to 235% total power excursion and respond significantly faster to transient spikes, ensuring your card and system stay safe and fully powered at all times.

We witnessed an exciting concept during the Computex 2023 show in late May. ASUS has developed a GPU without an external power connector called GC_HPWR. Unlike current solutions, this connection type doesn't require additional cables. Using the GC_HPWR means that power is being supplied directly from the motherboard and that these special-edition GPUs also require special-edition motherboards. Thanks to the latest information from the Bilibili content creator Eixa Studio, attending Bilibili World 2023 exhibition in Shanghai, China, we have information that ASUS is preparing mass production of these zero-cable GPU solutions. Scheduled to enter mass production in Fall, ASUS plans to deliver these GPUs and accompanying motherboards before the year ends.

Additionally, it is worth noting that the motherboard lineup is called Back To Future (BTF), and the first GPU showcased was the GeForce RTX 4070 Megalodon. The PSU connectors are placed on the back side of the BTF board, while the CG_HPWR connector sits right next to the PCIe x16 expansion slot and looks like a PCIe x1 connector. You can see images of both products below.
