NVIDIA announced its Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) back in November, promising to consolidate system and hardware monitoring under a single communication protocol. The open standard has been put before the USB-if (the standards body that governs the USB spec) HID subcommittee with hopes of ratification, and even if it's not approved, Nvidia has pledged to make ESA available for free and without licensing fees.
This week, The Tech Report has a look at a PC built using ESA compliant components: A Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 chassis, a CoolIT Freezone Elite CPU cooler, a Tagan 1100W PSU and an EVGA 680i motherboard.
