Case Mod Friday: Project Alpha Omega

Welcome to another Case Mod Friday showcase! This week we have Simple Modz "Project Alpha Omega" build. Here is what they had to say about it, "I'm back with another case mod, this time with Corsair! I'll be using their SPEC-ALPHA case to create a special case mod to showcase the new ASUS STRIX GTX 1080 graphics cards! This project will be inspired by an HRC (High Resolution Computers Shop) build in the same case. When I say inspired, I mean the open-frame design of the build, I'll be doing some things a bit different."

Corsair ML140 and ML120 fans Review

Corsair has employed some nifty technology in its new range of ML fans however we have to be careful with the name. The bearings that support the rotors on the motors use Magnetic Levitation but this is not shortened to Maglev (like the famous trains) as that is a trademarked term so we either have to say Magnetic Levitation or take the easy route and call them ML.

Corsair is excited about ML as it allows the fans to spin much faster than normal. Where we typically expect a 120mm/140mm fan to max out at 1,400rpm-1,600rpm, in the case of ML120 the range is 400rpm-2,400rpm and for ML140 the figures are 400rpm-2,000rpm.

Corsair Neutron XTi SSD Review (480GB)

It has been nearly two years since we have reviewed the Corsair Neutron XT. At its release it was the first SSD we analyzed with the Phison S10 controller and after putting it through the paces (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=6217c31f56&e=1230c2ab07) , we were quite impressed with its performance at first show. The combination of the S10 controller with all its features and Toshiba's 19nm MLC NAND had provided Corsair a killer SSD, one of the best performing SSDs at the time. However, now they have set out to improve the performance and consistency even more.

With the release of the new Neutron XTi (http://thessdreview.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3d9b6193ffd32dd60e84fc74b&id=43dfbc87ad&e=1230c2ab07) and in hopes of dethroning the very best SATA SSDs in the market, Corsair is doubling the DRAM and migrating to Toshiba's latest 15nm MLC flash. Doubling the DRAM may be the opposite of what a company would do to be cost effective, but the focus of this SSD is not on cost effectiveness. The Corsair Neutron XTi is an enthusiast grade SSD that was developed to deliver gamers, media, and design professionals the best performance.

Utilizing a doubled DRAM to NAND ratio and Phison's great performing quad-core 8-channel controller, with the latest Corsair Neutron XTi have what it takes to take down the best of the best like the Samsung 850 Pro or SanDisk Extreme? Continue on as we put it to the test in today's review.

Earlier this month Seagate announced their new ‘Guardian Series’ of Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) and that the BarraCuda name was being revived!
