Cooler Master MasterBox 600 in the test: high-level performance at a moderate price?
#Cooler #Master #MasterBox #test #highlevel #performance #moderate #price
With the MasterBox 600, Cooler Master wants to offer a midi tower that offers a high level of performance for a moderate price. The midi tower is relatively spacious and can accommodate a 420 mm radiator, for example. In addition to the case, we also look at Cooler Masters Atlas ARGB support – perhaps the most elegant graphics card support for retrofitting.
The MasterBox 600 is clearly aimed at ambitious users who want to accommodate and cool powerful hardware, but at the same time don’t want to spend too much money on a case. Cooler Master has designed the midi tower so generously that it can accommodate the tallest tower coolers and the longest graphics cards. With a mesh front and four pre-mounted A-RGB fans, you can hope for good cooling performance right out of the box. The fact that there is even space for a 420 mm radiator behind the front is even more impressive for the price range of the MasterBox 600. Alternatively, there is space for a maximum of 360 mm heat

A Saturn moon hides a vast ocean beneath its surface
After a ten-year suspense following the discovery of an anomaly in its rotation, proof has finally been made that Mimas, the smallest of Saturn’s eight main moons, harbors an ocean of water beneath its entire surface. Even more astonishing, this ocean would be less than 25 million years old, almost nothing, compared to the 4.5 billion years of our solar system. This surprising discovery is the result of a long work, but also of an intuition going against the main ideas accepted until now on the evolution of the Saturn system.
It was in 2010 that our team began to question the real nature of Mimas. With a radius of 200 km, the smallest of Saturn’s so-called main moons is easily recognizable by its surface covered in craters. Discovered in 1789 by the British astronomer William Herschel, it would be necessary to wait for the space age to obtain the first resolved images of this moon, and thus be able to discover its inert surface.
Study Mimas to understand the shape of Saturn’s rings
The link between Mimas and our initial work was not immediate, since it involved explaining the most remarkable structure of Saturn’s rings: the Cassini division. Discovered by Jean-Dominique Cassini in 1675, then a very young director of the Paris observatory, he had observed a dark zone in the rings of the giant, which now bears his name. With a span of approximately 4,500 km, it literally cuts the rings into two very distinct parts.

As surprising as it may seem, the scientific community did not know how to explain the existence of this division i

They create diamonds in just 150 minutes
The process of get diamonds explains its price quite well. Are needed billions of yearsin which the molten rock of the Earth’s mantle is subjected to extremely high temperature conditions pressure and temperature. I am difficult to reach course that humans have been trying to make for several centuries synthetic diamonds. Many have succeeded, but the process still has some drawbacks that make it difficult to have an adequate quantity to meet demand and, of course, lower the price. However, a team of researchers from South Korea Institute of Basic Sciences He managed to do it in a much simpler way.
There are four major handicaps in the synthesis of synthetic diamonds. We have already seen the first two. Very high pressure and temperature conditions are required. The third is the time. Obviously we don’t have billions of years. In the laboratories this time has been greatly reduced, to a few weeks, but it is still a long time. Finally, the last obstacle is the need for a diamond that acts as the nucleus. They cannot be created, so to speak, out of nothing.
The scientists of this Korean center They managed to solve almost all of these problems. Their synthetic diamonds are only produced in 150 minutes, at pressure conditions of only 1 atmosphere and without the need for a diamond core. Yes, temperatures of more than 1,000 ºC, approximately the same as natural conditions. However, this is easier to achieve than the rest of the requirements, so it is the best option designed so far.
Step by step to get synthetic diamonds
Of course, the diamond is made up of rock of the earth’s mantle subjected to great pressure and temperature and surrounded by molten metals for the same reason. The end result is pure carbon. Diamond does not have atoms of multiple elements.
Therefore, to get synthetic diamonds is necessary molten metals and a source of carbon. This has been explored for many years. Normally another small diamond is used as a carbon source, which acts as the nucleus, as we have already seen. But these scientists chose something different.
Its mix of metals is composed of gallium, iron, nickel and silicon, melted at a temperature of 1,025 ºC and a pressure of 1 atm, under vacuum conditions inside a graphite casing. This casing is rapidly heated and then cooled while exposed to a mixture of methane and hydrogen. Methane molecu

The most economical SSDs for notebooks, what is the consumption during the runtime? Which SSD is best?
In a normal desktop PC, the power consumption of an SSD is practically irrelevant. However, the world can look completely different in a notebook. Here +- 1-2W can have a noticeable effect on the runtime.
Especially if you have an “ultrabook” that is optimized for a particularly long runtime.
But which is the best SSD if you’re looking for maximum battery life? How big are the differences in practice here? Let’s find out in a little practical test!
The SSDs in comparison
I am sending the following SSDs into the comparison here:
Corsair MP600XT
Crucial P3
Crucial P5 Plus
Intel 600p
Kingston NV2
KIOXIA EXCERIA Plus G3
Lexar NM790
OCZ RD400
Samsung 980
Samsung 990 Pro
SK Hynix P31
SK Hynix P41
The Intel 600p and the OCZ RD400 are older SSDs that I included in this comparison simply out of curiosity.
Otherwise, I am particularly excited about the performance of the SK Hynix models, which are considered very economical.
The test setup
In all SSD tests on breaking.org you will find an assessment of the power consumption. However, I create this by measuring the power consumption in an external housing, so it is only semi-a
