Conclusion:
This stylish barebone has a proprietary cooling system for the CPU. The reviewer wouldn't
recommend installing a large graphics card, if it has no cooling system that gets the hot air
out of the case. There's the lack of an USB3 port, so you're not future proof with this case and
the PSU cannot be switched off.
Test Setup:
- CPU Cooler: Shuttle I.C.E.
- Graphics Card : ATI RADEON HD5670 1GB
- Hard Drive : 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10
- Mainboard : Shuttle H55
- Memory : 2x2GB DDR3 1600MHz G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM
- Processor : Intel I5 750
- PSU : Shuttle 300 Watt
Benchmarks:
Final Fantasy XIV, 3D Mark 2001, 3D Mark 2003, 3D Mark 2005, 3D Mark 2006, 3D Mark Vantage,
Cinebench, CrystalMark, PC mark 2005, PC mark vantage, Street Fighter IV, SuperPi, max CPU
temperature with OCCT.
Compared to:
This barbone was not compared to another computer or laptop.
Overclocking:
In the Frequency Voltage Configuration sub-menu of the BIOS, it's possible to do some
overclocking, which the reviewer only recommends with a dual core CPU, because of the heat it
produces. The BCLK, the RAM speed and the voltages can be adjusted, the reviewers did not perform
any overclocking.
