DFI Wins the Corporate Sustainability Report Awards Gold Award
DFI Wins the Corporate Sustainability Report Awards Gold Award, Green Design Improves Product Energy Reduction by Nearly 40%
TAIPEI, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As renewable energy and new energy development become a global issue, DFI, the world leading brand in embedded motherboards and industrial computers, was awarded the "2023 16th Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Award (TCSA)" - "Corporate Sustainability Report Awards - Gold Award for Electronics and IT Manufacturing Industry". In addition to following the related standards and regulations, DFI has introduced green design guidelines/directions, improving product energy reduction by nearly 40% and over 90% of system products now use easy-to-recycle materials.
The "2023 16th Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Award" organized by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy had a record number of 526 participating companies, marking a 24% increase compared to the previous year. This not only underscores the significance of ESG for major corporations but also highlights the difficulty of winning these awards.
Furthermore, this is the second award that DFI, which won the "Corporate Sustainability Report Awards - Gold Award for Electronics and IT Manufacturing Industry", has won, moving up from the Bronze Award to the Gold Award. This achievement is attributed not only to the establishment of clear sustainability objectives and adherence to international standards and regulations such as SASB, TCFD, and GRI but also to the development of four major green design standards for its products.
The green design standards include "Reduction", which avoids the redevelopment of standard boards. The number of new standard products was reduced by 12%; "Hazardous Substance Management", which ensures the parts must comply with the EU RoHS directive and REACH regulations; "Energy Conservation", which has achieved an energy reduction of 38.7% for motherboards, reducing power consumption and carbon emissions; and "Product Disposal/Recycling", which has resulted in over 90% of system products using easy-to-recycle materials and the smelting of steel and aluminum for reuse. DFI is reducing the potential negative impacts of products and components during every stage to develop the sustainable value of its products.
DFI President Alexander Su stated, "Our sustainability goals are clear. In addition to advocating for RE100 with the group, we are strengthening sustainable governance. In this year's Sustainability Report, we adopted international standards and guidelines, set short, medium, and long term sustainability goals, and linked the usage settings of our main products with the actions plans for the 17 UN SDGs to achieve diversified sustainability."

LIAN LI and PCMR Launches the O11 VISION
November 16th, 2023, Taipei, Taiwan – LIAN LI Industrial Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of chassis and PC accessories, launches the latest addition to its O11 series with the O11 VISION. Designed in collaboration with PC Master Race (PCMR), the O11 VISION is the perfect showcase tower, featuring tempered glass panels on the front, top, and left side. The O11 VISION offers flexible configurations with the removable motherboard tray, which is adjustable to 2 positions. There is no compromise in airflow, thanks to the elevated base to 27mm and rear support for up to 2 x 120mm fans. The O11 VISION is available in black and white at an MSRP of $139.99 and $149.99 respectively. A Chrome version with black frame and mirror-like panels will also be available at an MSRP of $149.99.
- 3-sided tempered glass without support frame and column for unobstructed view
- Removable motherboard tray; adjustable in 2 positions (low mode, high mode)
- Low mode supports up to 2 x 120mm fans / 240 radiator at the rear
- High mode supports 95mm thick fan/radiator combo at the bottom
- 27mm elevated base for increased air intake
- Comprehensive cable management and flexible storage solutions
"The collaboration brings together LIAN LI's exceptional craftsmanship in case design and mechanics with insights from the PCMR community. The O11 series continues to evolve with the tastes and preferences of the community, delivering what is the O11 VISION." Jameson Chen, CEO of LIAN LI.
“Today, we've harnessed the boundless enthusiasm of PCMR, turning the PC case into an extraordinary centerpiece of the digital world. The PC is not just the most powerful and versatile tool there is; it's a canvas for limitless creativity and beauty, showcasing individual taste without constraints." Pedro Valadas, Founder of PMCR
Built with Unobstructed View
The O11 VISION is the first case to offer a completely unobstructed view of the system with its top, front, and left-side tempered glass panels. The support structure along the glass edges has been eliminated. For structural support, the glass panels meet at the top left corner, held in place by a mounting key that aligns with magnets that provide up to 35kg of support force. The mounting key is discreetly concealed behind a triangular silk screen, with the white version featuring an elegant gradient white and grey, elegantly blending with the case.
2 Configurations
The O11 VISION offers a removable motherboard tray for ease of installation, which can be adjusted in two different positions. In low mode, the O11 VISION supports up to 2 x 120mm fans / 240 radiator at the rear. In high mode, the case supports up to 3 x 120mm/140mm fans and up to 360 radiator at the bottom removable bracket, with maximum thickness of 95mm, ample space for push-pull setup. Additionally, the O11 Vision supports 3 x 120mm fans / 360 radiator or 2 x 140mm fans / 280 radiator beside the motherboard. For optimal bottom air intake, the base is elevated to 27mm, and with fans mounted on the bottom fan bracket, the height of the bottom fans can be raised to 40mm in total.Cable Management Focused
In the second chamber, the cable management bar is held in place by magnets. The PSU mounting bracket also protrudes from the rear of the case by 15mm to provide more clearance in the second chamber for excess cables. Additionally, the 2 drive cages located above the PSU can be removed individually if not used, freeing up more space in the second chamber, or providing another location for mounting a fan hub/controller. Lastly, the O11 VISION comes equipped with two dual-layer cable clips that can be mounted anywhere along vertical grommets pass through.
High-end Build Ready
The O11 VISION offers support for large components, including compatibility with up to E-ATX motherboards, 455mm long GPUs, and CPU cooling towers as tall as 167mm. It can accommodate a total of 5 x 2.5” SSDs or 2 x 3.5” HDDs, along with 3 x 2.5” SSDs. With such support and its unique hardware display capabilities, the possibilities are endless.Availability
The O11 Vision is available for pre-order on November 16th, 2023, at an MSRP of $139.99 for the black, and $149.99 for the white version.

Biostar Silver Series Motherboards for Intel Core i7 14700K
We recently launched Episode 153 of the Hardware Asylum Podcast and in it we talk about how stupid motherboard designs have become due to the absence of expansion card availability. Despite this motherboard makers are still selling full sized motherboards which is not only wasteful but has been fully enabled by consumers.
The underlying message is that we only "need" a full sized ATX motherboard if we are going to use the available expansion slots, if not we can go with something smaller. Well, how about Micro ATX?!?
Leave it to Biostar to be ahead of the curve and actually use their brains.
November 10th, 2023, TAIPEI, TAIWAN – BIOSTAR, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and storage devices, introduces SILVER series motherboards that synergize well with the latest Intel Core i7-14700K Raptor Lake-S Refresh processor.
Intel's Raptor Lake-S Refresh, the Intel Core i7-14700K processor emerges as a powerhouse in the computing landscape, surpassing its predecessor with an impressive array of 20 cores and 28 threads. This substantial increase from the 16 cores and 24 threads of the i7-13700K translates into a notable uptick in multitasking prowess and efficiency in managing complex tasks.
Precision-engineered to the highest standards of technological excellence,BIOSTAR’s B760A-SILVER, B760M-SILVER, B760T-SILVER, and B660T-SILVER motherboards stands as the quintessential companions to the Intel Core i7-14700K processor. These motherboards exemplify BIOSTAR's unwavering commitment to cutting-edge technology, ensuring each motherboard is a perfect match for the i7-14700K's powerhouse of performance. Crafted for those who demand reliability and peak performance, the synergy between BIOSTAR's meticulous design and the robust capabilities of the Intel i7-14700K processor facilitates a computing experience that is as seamless as it is powerful. Whether for intensive gaming, professional workloads, or content creation, this pairing guarantees a platform that meets the rigors of modern computing with unmatched precision and prowess.
This motherboard release offers up four new designs built on the B760 chipset. This chipset is not intended for performance applications but is a down market alternative with the intention that users will also use a down market processor such as the Core i7 14700k. One board is full ATX while the other three are enjoying the Micro ATX and Mini ITX form factors.
Bravo!!

Nvidia plans to release three new chips for China @ Reuters
I have been watching the NVIDIA situation for quite a while seeing things rise and fall with every news and analyst report coming out with speculation on who will win. the US and their export restrictions or NVIDIA with their endless number of ways to chop up a GPU.
From a technology standpoint, it doesn't matter if your AI chip is 800 series of 200 series, the underlying technology allows these chips to scale indefinitely so while a 800 Series chip would be cost effective, buying four 200 series chips will get you the same thing.
The real question that should be asked is "how will these export bans impact competition?" For instance, if China cannot get NVIDIA chips they will simply go to a China friendly supplier and either buy from them OR, find another fab that can create clones of these chips. Not only will that kill a revenue stream BUT, will also create a new competitor who won't be bound by the rules of the governing country.
The new rules put a cap on how much how much computing power a chip can pack into a small size. The rules also include what analysts call a "grey zone" in which the chips might still be allowed to ship to China but will require a license.
In a note to clients,
Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers wrote that all three of Nvidia's reported chips appear to fall below the absolute caps on computing power, but one of them appears to be in the grey zone and will require a license.
It will be interesting to see how this trade war will escalate, I suspect they are playing a war of attrition though, eventually something will break and that is when the real trouble will start.
