One of the things at Computex that popped out a bit is the new Intel VROC technology (Virtual RAID On CPU) that can be used with certain X299 motherboards and Skylake processors.

Over at Computex Cooler Master next to its chassis and cooling products also had some other things on display worth taking a closer look at.

Over at Computex a lot of Intel partners have been showing the new Skylake-X. We have spoken to many board partners and have asked them a thing or two related towards normal overclocking, and the test samples they have at hand.

ASUS talked about the GTX 1080 Ti Posseidon a couple of times already, and it seems it is available since April i think? Anyway, I spotted it at the ASUS booth and took a couple of photos. 

Most of you probably can remember the Bulldog from Corsair right, it pretty much the predecessor of the new One series compact PCs. So in the press-release from Corsair you might have noticed an entry called ‘Bulldog GTO’.

So yes, this is a bit of an exclusive first. A RAW copper radiator, when you see the photo you'll understand what I mean. Basically Lian-Li will re-brand a LCS solution from Cinsys. The company (according to Lian-Li) offers an new cooling solution based on a 240mm rad with embedded pump (which will make the CPU cooling block thinner).

Lots of people are waiting in this, imagine that with an 8-core Ryzen processor. Gigabyte is (from the top of my head) the second company that launches an Mini-ITX form factor Ryzen motherboard. The GA-AB350N Gaming WiFi is as you can derive from the naming based on the B350 chipset. The 17cm mobo comes with two memory slots and a metal toughened PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot as well as an M.2 slot.

Cooler Master this year has invited a number of people from the media to their Taiwan based office, in this news item a tour of the facility. Cooler Master was founded in 1992 (yes 25th anniversary) and employs many people worldwide. In this item we peek at the all new CM Store, located inside the Taiwan based Cooler Master HQ.

Lian-li is alo present this year, much like the others. Often topic of discussion are their always aluminum cases and desktops. Lian-Li showed us their latest offerings, I’d say have a look at the photos, and yes tempered glass is making a nice entry.

While Fractal design wasn't present physically at Computex this year, they were. Safely tucked away in a hotel they setup a room with kit on display. The Focus G is going multi-color, the Celcius is in the house as well as some other things.

Gigabyte often has two venues where they have their products on display, the TWCC building, a secondary exhibition location, and for guests located in the way too high Taipei 101 they have a room. Let’s go there, the good stuff. You have seen the X399 Aorus motherboard, they are going big with X299 motherboards as well as some nice Aorus goods.

G.Skill much like the last couple of years is going strong with their memory products as well as a careful introduction of the mouse, headset and keyboard series. Everybody knows and loves them for their awesome memory DIMM modules though.

So I finally got around to visit the Taipei 101 suite that Gigabyte hires each year to display their products. X299 is nice, but the hottest topic and thing on Computex to see really are X399 motherboards. I got access to the product manager and have a couple of close-up photos in many angles of the Gigabyte X399 Aorus Gaming 7.

And pardon the headline pun, it is actually quite refreshing to see Noctua sticking to what they are really good at, designing extremely good heatsinks and fans. They have a couple of prototypes on display, as well as coolers for AMD Threadripper.

Phanteks is showing a new concept case at Computex. These units are getting close to final in the development cycle and are rather unique. The Evolv SHIFT and  SHIFT X. The Evolv SHIFT (tower chassis) holds a 22-litre capacity yet can house a premium graphics card, mITX motherboard, SFX-L PSU and even two radiators for enhanced cooling.
