Yesterday, AMD has officially presented its new family of video cards top of the range. Talk models ATI Radeon HD 3870×2, solutions that easily as the name suggests are the combination of two of the series GPU Radeon HD 3870 mounted on the same PCB.

Such a solution requires a complex cooling system; two heat sinks are mounted on each of the GPU, with a plastic cover that covers the card for its entire length and strength to the movement of air blown by a fan turbine. This approach leads to good overall effectiveness, but for the most fans there right now the prime alternatives.

We speak of the kit to liquid CoolIT Systems, the Canadian company specializes in cooling solutions for processors and video cards, is developing solutions specifically for the ATI Radeon HD 3870×2. As can be seen clearly from the cooling system was designed to occupy only one slot on the motherboard, against the 2 required by the traditional system of cooling air chosen by AMD.

CoolIT Systems has announced that it has obtained, with the same levels of temperature, clock frequencies of 900 MHz for both GPU and 1000 MHz (2000 MHz effective) for 1024 Mbytes of video memory, respectively, against the values equal to 825 MHz and 900 MHz (1800 MHz effective) for the reference design developed by AMD.

During the recent CES in Las Vegas we had the opportunity to learn directly from Seagate as the new discs DAVE (depth: Seagate DAVE, a web server in your pocket) is about to be marketed, although in combination with other equipment as an accessory. To summarize briefly, DAVE is a technology applied to the external disk pocket that allows the disc to communicate through wireless Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatible with equipment of course.

According Clubic, the first partner to provide DAVE accessory compact camcorder will be the Sanyo VPC-HD1000, natively equipped only with SDHC slot, whose capacity is tied to that of the memory card in the possession of the user. By DAVE in your pocket, thanks to support from the camcorder wireless connections, so the user can rely on an amount of memory that can reach up to 60GB.

There is no information concerning the price of DAVE as an accessory, although Seagate staff at the CES in Las Vegas we have provided an indicative figure of around 200.00 Euro. A price not lower, but in any case honest if compared with the convenience of having a backpack a storage system that can wirelessly connect to multiple terminals simultaneously, such as mobile phones, cameras and camcorders.
