EVGA's Overclocking Friendly SC17 Gaming Laptop Now Available to Pre-Order

Posted: 29 Mar 2016 10:25 AM PDT

Go ahead and overclock

Evga Sc17

EVGA unveiled its SC17 gaming laptop at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this year. One thing that's notable about the system is that EVGA didn't source an existing system and slap its name on the box, this one was designed 100 percent in-house. It's also now available to pre-order.

The SC17 brings a big display to the gaming party—17.3 inches with a 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160) resolution. That's a lot of pixels to push around, so EVGA paired an unlocked Intel Core i7-6820HK processor with a GeForce GTX 980M GPU with 8GB of GDDR5 memory.

EVGA packed this thing to the gills with 32GB of G.Skill DDR4-2666 memory and a 256GB M.2 NVMe PCI-E SSD flanked by a 1TB SATA 6Gbps HDD (7,200 RPM). There's also 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, Realtek ALC 255 audio, 1080p webcam, GbE LAN, HDMI (x1) and mini DisplayPort (x2) outputs, two USB 3.0 Type A ports, a single USB 3.1 Type-C port, and a full-size white backlit keyboard.

There's a lot of emphasis here on overclocking, which is not something you typically see from companies when it comes to laptops. EVGA says the CPU is capable of hitting 3.8GHz and beyond, while also noting that the GPU has some OC'ing headroom.

"A FULL GUI BIOS with full mouse control gives you complete control over all aspects of performance, voltage and advanced settings right at your fingertips. Not to mention, a Clear CMOS button directly on the chassis, this is the world's first TRUE overclocking laptop," EVGA says.

EVGA SC17 OC Button

If you'd rather not thinker with settings, you can get a performance boost with a press of a button that puts the laptop in Superclock mode. According to EVGA's in-house benchmarking, the net result is about 600 additional points in 3DMark Fire Strike.

For a 17.3-inch gaming laptop, the dimensions seem rather reasonable at just 1.05 inches thick, albeit it packs 8.14 pounds of heft.

You can pre-order the EVGA SC17 now for $2,700.

Razer Unveils Ripsaw PC and Console Game Capture Card for $180

Posted: 29 Mar 2016 09:59 AM PDT

Capture 1080p at 60 frames per second

Razer Ripsaw

One thing you can say about Razer is that it's not afraid to spread its wings into different product categories. We're reminded of that today with the introduction of the Razer Ripsaw, the peripheral maker's first game capture card.

The Ripsaw is an external box that plugs into your PC via USB 3.0. It's able to capture raw and uncompressed game footage at up to 1080p at 60 frames per second with "nearly zero latency." And as you're capturing game content, you can take advantage of the card's onboard audio and microphone inputs to add a snazzy secondary audio or commentary layer.

"Razer has been involved with the streaming scene since the beginning of game broadcasting, with top streamers using our hardware through the ages to get the unfair gaming advantage in front of audiences," said Min-Liang Tan, Razer CEO and co-founder. "We're excited to design a game capture card that meets the exacting needs of broadcasters and to also give newcomers a perfect tool to help them possibly become the next Syndicate or Pewdiepie."

Razer Ripsaw Back

The Ripsaw works out of the box with streaming software like Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) and XSplit. It also also comes with the necessary component cables to plug-and-play with game consoles, both past and present, including the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Razer Forge TV, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

To use the Ripsaw with a desktop PC, requirements call for an Intel Core i5-4430 or higher processor, GeForce GTX 660 or above graphics card, and at least 4GB of RAM (8GB is recommended). For laptops, the Ripsaw requires a Core i7-4810MQ or above CPU and GeForce GTX 870M or higher GPU.

Other specs:

  • Interface: USB 3.0 only
  • Video input: Digital – HDMI / Analog – Component
  • Audio input: Digital – HDMI / Analog – RCA L/R
  • Audio mix-in input: 3.5 mm mic-in / 3.5 mm aux-in
  • Video output: HDMI (pass-through from HDMI and Component input)
  • Max capture resolution: Uncompressed 1080p60
  • Supported resolutions: 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i, 480p, 480i

The Razer Ripsaw is available now for $180.

Will the FBI Share with Apple How It Hacked Terrorist's iPhone?​

Posted: 29 Mar 2016 09:34 AM PDT

Case closed (for now)

FBI Koozies

For now at least, the U.S. court system will not decide if Apple is obligated to help the Federal Bureau of Investigation thwart the security of an iPhone 5c handset that was once in possession of Syed Farook, one of the terrorists involved in the deadly San Bernardino shooting. That's because the FBI managed to pluck the contents of the confiscated iPhone with the help of a third-party and subsequently dropped its suit, potentially postponing what might have been a landmark court decision.

If you haven't been following the fiasco, the FBI convinced a court to order Apple to provide "reasonable technical assistance" with breaking into Farook's iPhone. What the FBI specifically wanted help with was bypassing the security measure that would permanently wipe the contents of the iPhone after 10 failed passcode attempts, and to remove the delay between passcode guesses. That would have allowed the FBI to brute-force guess the passcode.

Apple refused to comply and filed a motion to reverse the court order. From Apple's point of view, the FBI was basically asking it to build a backdoor into the iPhone. Apple's fear was that such a thing could fall into the wrong hands and compromise the security of hundreds of millions of iPhones. Tim Cook and the gang also opposed the precedent it would sent, as the FBI and other law enforcement agencies would then be able to force Apple (and other companies) to break the security of devices in other cases.

The two sides seemingly refused to budge until the FBI said it heard from a third-party that it might be able to break into the iPhone without Apple's help. The FBI then filed for a delay the day before the case was to be heard. A week later, the FBI dropped its suit altogether, saying it got what it needed and no longer required Apple's assistance.

How did the FBI and its third-party partner do it? That hasn't been disclosed, and according to The Guardian, government officials have classified the secret method.

If the tactic worked as the FBI claims, it sets up an interesting scenario in which Apple would want to know what vulnerability it exploited. The FBI would likely be hesitant to share that information with Apple, knowing that the Cupertino outfit would take steps to improve security and address the vulnerability.

Corsair's M65 Gaming Mouse Goes 'Pro' with 12,000 DPI Sensor

Posted: 29 Mar 2016 08:16 AM PDT

An ultra-sensitive rodent

Corsair M65 Pro RGB Top

Do gamers really benefit from mice with ultra-high DPI sensors? Corsair seems to think so, and so today it unveiled an upgraded version of its M65 rodent, the new M65 Pro RGB.

The big upgrade here is the inclusion of a 12,000 DPI optical sensor that "provides pixel-precise tracking." Combined with Corsair's surface calibration tuning utility, the peripheral maker considers the M65 Pro RGB a "competition-grade FPS gaming mouse with the technology you need to win."

Outside of the high DPI sensor, the M65 Pro RGB boasts an aircraft-grade aluminum structure that help keeps it both lightweight (115 grams) and durable. If you prefer a heavier rodent, there's a three-point weight system to play with—you can add up to 20.5 grams of heft and/or change the center of gravity.

Corsair M65 Pro RGB Weights

The M65 Pro RGB sports eight programmable buttons, including a high-mass scroll wheel with a rubberized exterior wrapped around a metallic core, and a dedicated sniper button, which is essentially an on-the-fly DPI switch.

Other features include Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks, macro support, and a three-zone LED lighting system.

Corsair's M65 Pro RGB will be available next month for $60 MSRP in white and black color options.
