PC specialist Corsair launches the Carbide 175R RGB-- a mid-tower desktop chassis featuring an endge-to-edge tempered glass side panel, full-length PSU cover and, as the name suggests, RGB lighting.

The chassis weights 6.1kg and measures 418 x 210 x 450m, meaning it fits Mini-ITX, Micro ATX or ATX motherboards, as well as GPUs up to 330mm long, CPU coolers 160mm tall and 180mm ATX PSUs. It includes a single 120mm RGB fan, and can fit three 120mm fans or one 140mm fan in the front, two 140mm fans in the top and one 120mm fan in the rear. Customers can also opt for liquid cooling, with space for a radiator measuring up to 360mm.

Gigabyte sets to celebrate the 50th anniversary of AMD with a special edition of the X470 Aorus Gaming 7 Wifi motherboard featuring a custom interchangeable LED accent overlay.

The overlay sits below the 24-pin ATX 12V motherboard power input, and users can change lighting colour via Fusion RGB software. This feature aside, the motherboard is identical to the regular model, being a high-end offering with support for up to 64GB of DDR4-3600 memory, an ESS Sabre ES9118 DAC, Realtek aLC1220-VB HD audio codec and 10+2 phase power delivery.

1 May 2019 sees AMD celebrate its 50th anniversary, and to commemorate the occasion the company is rolling out a pair of limited edition products-- the Ryzen 7 2700X Gold Edition CPU and the Radeon VII Gold Edition GPU.

The special edition of the Ryzen 7 2700X is essentially identical to the regular edition of the 2700X, outside the signature of AMD CEO Lisu Su imprinted on the processor cover and gold AMD50 packaging. The special edition bundle also includes a Wraith Prism cooler, a Lisa Su signature sticker, an AMD 50th anniversary shirt and 2 free games, World War Z and The Division 2 Gold Edition.

Nvidia presents a more mainstream-friendly Turing-powered GPU-- the GeForce GTX 1650, a card bringing the latest in Nvidia architecture featuring what the company calls a "TU117" chip.

The GTX 1650 is a successor to the Pascal-based GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti from 2016. As such, it runs on a variant of the TU11x series GPU one can assume is both cheaper and easier to produce, while still being based on Turing architecture. The TU117 die offers base and boost speeds reaching 1485 and 1685MHz respectively, carries 896 CUDA cores and includes 4GB GDDR5 RAM operating at 8Gbps and 128GB/s bandwidth.
