Computex 2015 - Hardware company G.SKILL has unveiled its Ripjaws series PC power supply units, with four models that range from 750 watts up to 1250 watts.

The Ripjaws series has been designed to support he needs of PC enthusiasts and gamers, with each PSU featuring a full module design so cleaner cable management and better airflow is supported throughout the system. During low load operations, there is zero fan noise - and a 140mm fan helps cool down a user's PC when the temperatures rise.

The Ripjaws PS750G and PS850G models have been certified with 80 PLUS Gold and have a 90 percent efficiency rating. Meanwhile, the Ripjaws PS850P/PS1250P units received 80 PLUS Platinum certification and have 92 percent efficiency.

The open-world first person survival horror game Dying Light has reached 4.5 million gamers, according to Techland.

Techland has released several Dying Light DLC packages for gamers, and it's possible an expansion could be developed one day. Even if the 4.5 million figure isn't actual game copies sold, it's still a major success for the studio.

"Sales [we] count later - we need time to calculate the sales and returns and so on," said Pawel Marchewka, CEO of Techland, in a statement to Eurogamer. "Unique users means all the unique users we calculated on the server playing the game for significant number of time. Sales might be slightly less because that includes also secondary sales."

Computex 2015 - The hype of late has been solely based around the latest flagship offerings by AMD and NVIDIA with ASUS joining that charge, but how about the whole range and something a little different?

As part of its Computex 2015 display, ASUS has shown off its TURBO series gaming video cards, the MINI series form-factor models produced for Mini-ITX systems, the STRIX 4K gaming series for "core gamers," the ROG POSEIDON for premium-grade watercooled users, the ROG MATRIX models for air overclocking and also some neat water block offerings thanks to EK Water Blocks, Bitspower and Thermaltake.

If that isn't enough for you, ASUS also threw up a display explaining of its industry-first 100% automated production process and material design alongside how exactly the PCB design is carried out in the factory.

Computex 2015 - There's no doubt that every company is racing to integrate USB 3.1 into everything they produce - laptops, cases, motherboards and accessories are all being announced with USB 3.1 support and ASUS is helping lead the charge.

As part of its Computex 2015 display, ASUS has shown off a myriad of USB 3.1 ready products and what you are about to learn about is the extensions and accessories line of products on offer.

Firstly is the USB 3.1 UPD panel and the USB 3.1 enclosure, with ASUS' UPD panel providing up to 100W of power as per USB Type-C limitations and the enclosure providing a USB 3.1 Type-A experience for all consumers.

Computex 2015 - ASUS has shown that it sure knows how to make an awesome system, showcasing the new X99 motherboard models within some great systems. What we build into the systems here (pictured) is the the X99-PRO/USB 3.1 and X99-DELUXE/USB 3.1 editions.

With this stunning ASUS X99 DELUXE build being completed by 'Mods by Davido_Libido' all the way from the UK, it's not too often you see the big players get into the local modding scene like this and it's certainly something great to see. This deluxe system is powered by a Thermaltake DPS G 1050w power supply, combined with an Intel 750 1.2tb SSD and is all housed within an InWin 909 chassis.

As for motherboard features, the X99-PRO/USB 3.1 boasts ultra fast USB 3.1 support combined with eight RAM ports capable of quad-channel and hosting up to 128GB of memory in total. The X99-DELUXE/USB 3.1 makes claim to 3x3 802.11ac Wi-Fi, USB 3.1 Type-A and a 'Fan Extension Card' for those looking to take things to the extreme.

Computex 2015 - Analogix always has something to impress me wherever we are, but it was their various demos and prototypes of USB Type-C products that had me impressed at Computex this year.

The company was showing off its new chips in the ANX7428, ANX7816+, ANX7418 and ANX7688 which provide DisplayPort, USB 3.0 and Power Delivery all over the same, tiny little cable. That tiny little cable we mentioned, is thanks to a tiny little chip, which is pictured above.

Analogix was showing off the Apple MacBook Air, which will see future cables using their technology to output to various other outputs or devices.

Computex 2015 - One of the more impressive VR demos that I've personally played around with happened today with NVIDIA and CCP Games, the studio behind EVE: Valkyrie.

There were a few demos that NVIDIA and CCP Games walked me through, with the first providing a totally new way of doing things. CCP Games used a Kinect sensor to capture images of your body in real time, and then used that to bake it into their VR demo. This allowed for much more precision in the VR world, and as CCP Games put it to me: it makes your arms, the best thing to use as 'controllers'.

In the demo itself, I was able to press little circles in front of me that would act as the UI, going into different parts of the experience. I was able to pick up flaming energy balls which I could then throw around the world, or electricity balls that would spark and send things flying when you threw them.

Computex 2015 - Pictured here is another 'Team TT Modding' chassis by Thermaltake, featuring what seems to be a new vision and a new logo - the WP200.

This chassis, also build with modders and enthusiasts in mind, is on display packed with two Toughpower DPS G Gold power supplies, a full kit of Thermaltake Pacific custom watercooling, four ASUS Strix NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 video cards and two motherboards (one GIGABYTE, one ASUS).

This gigantic case sports a massive top-mounted watercooling section and has a ridiculous amount of interior room as seen through the images below.

Computex 2015 - Thermaltake has shown off its new WP100 case in style at Computex as part of what seems to be a new 'Team TT Modding' series, featuring an upgraded logo and different design from the 'Thermaltake norm'.

The system pictures is packed with a Thermaltake DPS G 1050W Gold power supply and completely cooled with Thermaltake Pacific watercooling series components.

We've been told that this new logo is for premium products only, don't expect the 'Thermatlake Sun' to disappear any time soon.

World exclusive: Up until this point, most people have presumed that AMD would be launching the Radeon R9 390X as its upcoming flagship video card, but we have just had an anonymous source tell us that this is wrong.

Instead, the Radeon R9 Fury X will be the flagship video card, a watercooled part based on the Fiji XT GPU. Under that, we'll have the Radeon R9 Fury, which should be based on the Fiji PRO architecture, with an entire restack of current cards. Under these two new High Bandwidth Memory-powered video cards we'll have the Radeon R9 390X, Radeon R9 390, Radeon R9 390, R9 380, R7 370 and R7 360.

The Radeon R9 Fury X will be a reference card with AIBs not able to change the cooler, but TweakTown can confirm that it will be the short card that has been spotted in the leaked images. The Radeon R9 Fury will see aftermarket coolers placed onto it, so we should see some very interesting cards released under the Radeon R9 Fury family.

Computex 2015 - Antec has just unveiled its new Signature Series line of Premium Chassis, with the company spending over one year in development on the new chassis, with a never-before-seen internal structure.

Starting with a new look, the Signature Series starts with the flagship S10, a return to Antec's roots in "distinctive craftsmanship". Antec has used aluminum and premium materials in this elite chassis, with a smooth front panel which is highlighted by the fact that it doesn't feature external drive bays. This provides a "seamless and fluid exterior" on the S10, with opposing side doors in brushed aluminum (on the S10), or tempered glass (on the S10G).

Inside, Antec has provided a new and completely unique Three Chamber Design, which uses atmospheric pressure and isolation, with each chamber creates a thermal zone that has its own regulation system. When it comes to heat, there are three zones: with the motherboard and GPUs being housed in the main chamber. The motherboard chamber has support for extended ATX motherboards, right up to 10 PCIe slots, and four GPUs. We have space for a 280mm radiator up top, and 360mm in the front.
