Phanteks Announces AMP GH Series PSUs

Phanteks today introduced the AMP GH line of power supplies that meet ATX 3.1 and PCIe Gen 5.1 standards. These PSUs come with the latest 12V-2x6 power connectors, and are ready for current- and next-generation graphics cards. There are three Wattage-based variants, and their color-based sub-variants. The AMP GH series comes in 1000 W, 850 W, and 750 W; each in black and white color variants. The 1000 W models meet 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency, while the 850 W and 750 W models are 80 Plus Gold. All models come with full modular cabling, and all of them—including the 750 W model—come with 600 W-capable 12V-2x6 connectors.

Under the hood, the Phanteks AMP GH comes with a single +12 V rail design, with active PFC, DC-to-DC switching, and most common electrical protections. A 120 mm fan with hydraulic bearing, is used to keep the PSU cool. This fan is programmed with 0 RPM mode, which lets the PSU shut the fan off below a load threshold, with the temperature permitting. The PSU body is just 14 cm long, which should come in handy with today's mid-tower cases. Available now on Overclockers UK, the 1000 W model ranges between £129 to £139; the 850 W model between £104 to £114; and the 750 W model between £85 and £95.

GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Custom Model Pricing Leaked by UK & Finland Shops

A couple of custom design prices emerged over the past weekend—courtesy of VideoCardz's determined approach to unearth GeForce RTX 40 SUPER-related information prior to a staggered lifting of NVIDIA review embargoes. Their most recent investigation has pulled details from the Overclockers UK retail site, as well as Jimm's PC-Store in Finland. The article first focuses on the British e-tailer's tendency to tack on an extra couple of Pounds (£/GBP) when charging for top-flight GPU options—a prime example being their £1350 asking price for a very-tricked out ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 4080 SUPER OC card. NVIDIA's basic guide MSRP for the UK is £959, so we are looking at a steep £391 premium/upcharge for the high-end ASUS model. Overclockers has removed this particular listing and other SUPER-related pages from their site. ZOTAC Gaming's GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Trinity Black Edition card was spotted sitting at £959 on OC UK, which is line with the company's promise to keep non-overclocked models locked in at NVIDIA MSRP.

Jimm's PC Store in Finland has not removed listings for various customized Ada Lovelace SUPER options (at the time of writing). VideoCardz noted that Finnish customers pay a natural premium for PC hardware, due to greater VAT demands in the region (when compared to other European countries)—RTX 4080 SUPER MSRP here is reportedly €1149 instead of €1109. GIGABYTE's GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER AORUS MASTER graphics card is the true headliner here, in terms of Euros. At a smidge below €1360, this represents a hefty premium of €211 over the Finnish MSRP. The next most expensive option is a stealthy looking MSI GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER SUPRIM X card, coming in at €1299.90. Four RTX 4080 SUPER models sit at the Finnish MSRP of €1149—two GIGABYTE WINDFORCEs, an MSI VENTUS 3X OC, and an ASUS TUF Gaming card. VideoCardz took a peek further down in the hierarchy, please check out the entire article for (less controversial) leaked pricing regarding GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER options.

There are listed several models of AIB cards, covering the whole range of RTX 3070, 3080, and 3090.

AIB cards are going anywhere from the NVIDIA FE card at £1,399, all the way up to at £1589.99. This is a big markup compared to the FE model, however, AIB cards are known for providing better cooling solutions and better power delivery circuit.

A switch on the I/O panel allows the lighting to be controlled. Alternatively, the strip can be connected directly to the motherboard and controlled that way instead. The overall ventilation of the case is also helped by the presence of a fine mesh with an integrated dust filter on the top. A pre-installed 120 mm fan is also equipped with dARGB lighting.

Thermaltake and Mayhems Fighting Over "Pastel" Trademark in the UK

This is still a developing story, however it has matured enough to where we feel confident about discussing it. It kicked off last week when the proprietor of Mayhem Solutions Ltd, better known simply as Mayhems, shared information regarding Thermaltake introducing their own Pastel-branded coolants to be used in the PC DIY water cooling sector. Mayhems has had a trademark registered for this in the UK since 2015, and let Thermaltake know via email to try to reach an amenable solution. Indeed, EKWB and Alphacool had both used the Pastel trademark with Mayhems' permission in the past, some of which also came via using the Mayhems Pastel base under their respective brand names. After word from Thermaltake's legal team, first trying to defend the use of Pastel as a generic term, and then saying that they would work on a compromise, Mayhems told us they have not heard back from the company in over a week since the last correspondence, and are forced to take legal action to prevent Thermaltake P1000 pastel coolants to be sold in the UK.

We wanted to have due diligence in our reporting, and contacted Thermaltake ourselves for a statement. After receiving word that they will send us one, we too have not heard back from the company since. We respect Thermaltake's decision, and are always willing to update this post if they do send us one, but in the meantime we went further. Indeed, a careful look at the trademark (screenshots seen below) confirms Mayhem's legal stance on this matter. However, it is not easy to enforce a trademark in the court. It would be all the more harder to do so when there can be an argument made about the use of the term pastel, which no doubt Thermaltake would argue is not necessarily tied to the coolant, but more as the general term to showcase the various colors and the opaque-nature of said coolants. More on this story past the break, including quotes from retailers we spoke to.

UK's Allocation of Radeon VII a Grand Total of 100-200 at Launch

Update February 6, 2019: Our colleagues at Kitguru were able to talk more recently with Gibbo from OcUK, who now clarified there may be anywhere between 100-200 Radeon VII available in the UK at launch, and possibly more coming after that. Take all statements with a grain of salt accordingly. The original story is below.

In what could add credibility to reports of AMD's initial production batch of the Radeon VII being no more than 5,000 pieces, a representative of British PC hardware retailer Overclockers UK posted on the OCUK forums that the inventory for the UK is no more than 100 pieces. From this, OCUK has stocked up 44 cards, and a few more are on the way. In a forum post, "Gibbo" mentions that OCUK will have more than half the Radeon VII graphics cards allocated to the UK market. Sales of the card go live at14:00 BST, on the 7th of February. AMD is probably playing the Radeon VII launch close to the chest, and future production batches will be greenlit looking at how quick these 5,000-odd cards fly off the shelves.

AMD Second-generation Ryzen "Pinnacle Ridge" Confirmed to Support AM4

AMD, in an interview with Overclockers UK (OCUK), confirmed that its second-generation Ryzen desktop processors will support the existing AM4 socket, so current Ryzen platform users can seamlessly upgrade to the new processors, with a BIOS update. Most current AM4 socket motherboards will require BIOS updates to support Ryzen "Raven Ridge" desktop APUs, and Ryzen "Pinnacle Ridge" CPUs, as the two require an update to the latest AGESA 1.0.0.7 version. In the interview, AMD representative James Prior confirmed that the company plans to keep AM4 its mainstream-desktop processor socket all the way up to 2020, which means at least another two to three generations of processors for it.

The next generation is "Pinnacle Ridge," which is rumored to be an optical-shrink of the "Summit Ridge" silicon to the 12 nm process, enabling higher clock speeds. The decision to keep AM4 doesn't mean the company's 300-series chipset will be made to stretch over 3 years. The company could release newer chipsets, particularly to address 300-series chipset's main shortcoming, just 6-8 older PCI-Express gen 2.0 general purpose lanes (while Intel chipsets put out up to 24 gen 3.0 lanes).

AMD's RX Vega Launch Prices Might be Just Smoke and Mirrors

Overclockers UK staff member Gibbo, who posted the renowned British company's Vega stocks and deals for the red team's graphics cards, has just come out with something that might put our inner buyers to attention. Apparently, AMD has allowed launch prices to be as they currently are ($499 for the Vega 64 and $399 for the Vega 56 in the Americas; £549 for the Vega 64 in the UK) through rebates and other offers to retailers, who, according to Gibbo, couldn't keep those prices at all if that was not the case. According to the Overclockers UK staffer, " (...) the good news is AMD are rebating early launch sales to allow us to hit £449.99 on the stand alone black card which has no games. This is a launch only price which AMD at present are saying will be withdrawn in the near future, when if it happens is unknown, but remember do not be shocked if the price jumps nearly £100 in a few days. This time around there is no early adopter tax, quite the opposite on the stand alone black card, so do be quick."
