Noctua first showed a new generation of CPU cooler NH-D15.

Outwardly, the cooler has changed very little, so they decided not to change the name. But, for example, there were eight heat pipes against six in the first generation. In addition, the gap between the ribs was reduced from 1.9 to 1.6 mm.

Two new-generation 140mm fans will be responsible for airflow, details of which are not yet available. All of this combined should make the iconic cooler a bit more performant, although now, almost 10 years after its release, it is still one of the best-performing CPU coolers on the market.

Despite the demonstration, the release of the novelty is still far away: Noctua is going to release the cooler only next year.

The Chinese company Moore Threads introduced the MTT S70 video card, which was a step below the S80 model, released at the end of last year.

The novelty uses the same GPU, but instead of 4096 computing units, only 3584 are active. The GPU frequency is only 1.6-1.8 GHz. As a result, the performance of such an adapter reaches 11.2 TFLOPS. This is about the level of the GeForce RTX 3060, but only in the context of “dry” performance. In games, even the older S80 with varying degrees of success coped only with much older Nvidia adapters.

What is more interesting is the unique memory subsystem. There is 7 GB GDDR6 and a 224-bit bus. Apparently, no one has used this configuration before.

At the same time, the younger model, unlike the older one, does not support PCIe 5.0, being limited to PCIe 4.0. From the rest, we can note the length of 285 mm, three DisplayPort 1.4a ports and one HDMI 2.1.

Recall that Moore Threads video cards are based on the architecture of the company’s own design.

Despite the fact that GeForce RTX 40 video cards are much more energy efficient than RTX 30 models, manufacturers are not only in no hurry to reduce the size of cards and their coolers, but, on the contrary, they are announcing ever more monstrous coolers. MSI at Computex 2023 showed several new solutions at once, and they are all huge.

In total, MSI showed three developments: a radiator with bimetallic fins, a three-dimensional evaporation chamber and an integrated liquid CO.

There are no exact dimensions for each solution, but a card with one of them occupies 4.2 expansion slots. This is less than the thickest graphics card on the market, the PNY RTX 4090 Verto ARGB Dual Fan, but still very, very much.

Interestingly, MSI says that all these are developments for next-generation video cards, that is, at least for the RTX 4090 Ti, if one comes out. Or already for the RTX 50.
