ASUS ROG Strix X399-E Gaming Motherboard Review | Vertical Socket

Christmas trees are the first point to check to make sure the home is safe. According to Eazysafe, place real Christmas trees securely in a sturdy base filled with water, and metal stands cause trees to dry out and become flammable.

The Sonos One sits nicely on a bookshelf or a stand, and it’s compact enough to move around the house — or when you’re ready to move apartments again.

The pure-electric Ioniq isn’t alone. It’s part of a three-pronged range comprising a series hybrid, which operates in a similar way to the Toyota Prius, and a plug-in hybrid capable of doing 63km on battery power, before the petrol engine kicks in.

Why it’s great: The price. For just $9, this multi-pack features individual travel adapters which each work in a different region. These slim adapters also have easy-to-read labels and come in a sleek carrying pouch.

While the demo system uses a couple of large-ish but chassis-sized fans, better economies of scale can be reached with large form factor industrial fans. However, any fans used in a JouleForce technology system will have to withstand hot-aisle temperatures, perhaps hotter depending on application.

Before the 1940s, a two-pin unearthed plug was used in South Africa. During the war years, South Africa started to adopt the 15amp three-pronged plug with round pins from the United Kingdom.

Matthew Kepnes, founder of Nomadic Matt and author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day: Travel Cheaper, Longer, Smarter, uses this simple universal plug adapter, with two USB ports and one main outlet, on his travels. “It works for everywhere, is cheap, and comes with USB ports. I think it’s the best, and it has everything you need!” This simple style of plug adapter is a solid option for folks who are mostly charging headphones, cell phones, and other portable gadgets while traveling, rather than major electronics like cameras or laptops.

How do you know which adapter is right for the region you’re traveling to? You’ll need to consider prong configuration, voltage, and wattage.

The motherboard features six PCIe 3.0 slots with four of them being x16 a single x1 and a single x4 slot. Three of the PCIe slots are metal reinforced. I assume that this is where ASUS is subtly telling you to install your massive GPUs. When three graphics cards are used, the PCIe lanes will run at x16/x16/x8 mode. The last lane is downgraded because X399 motherboards support up to three M.2 NVMe drives that operate at x4 mode. Meaning at least 12 lanes are put towards storage, two in this case.

There’s some drama around universal power strips. Certification authorities and organizations like the U.K. watchdog PlugSafe hate them for various reasons, and they’re right. They’re less safe than single-country strips. You can accidentally plug a 120v-only appliance into a 240v outlet (possibly setting it on fire), you could potentially stick paper clips into the extra holes, and such. But used intelligently by traveling professionals who check the voltage on their gadgets first, they’re perfectly safe.

Samtec unveils the MEC5, what it is calling the industry’s first 0.5-mm pitch edge card socket with justification beam. Reportedly, this design meets the demands for decreased size and increased speeds, while also optimizing cost. The socket’s justification beam is designed to shift the card into proper alignment with the contacts. This allows for standard board tolerance on cards that would typically not work with ultra-fine pitch connectors. This optimizes manufacturing costs with a 30-50% PCB cost savings and a high yield for standard cards.

The next part also sheds light on the gap between supply and consumption. Apart from the mentioned information, growth rate of Socket Converters market in 2023 is also explained. Additionally, type wise and application wise consumption tables and figures of Socket Converters market are also given.
