so this is uh my video about the z77
shuttle with a radon hd7970 and a 2600k now please note guys
there is no overclocking and no overclocking will be done but a lot of
naysayers out there have said blah blah blah lus the 500 W power supply in there
is not capable of running that kind of a system to which I say f because it can
um and also this is more of a test than something that I actually know already
but I wanted to check out what kind of temperatures we're going to
get on this system if we load up an intensive oh okay apparently CPU that is
not working properly but whatever there's a 2600k in there that's all I
really needed to show you guys and I I'm telling you it's not overclocked um you
let's run some small fft and see what it boosts up to it's on air cooling so it
should pretty much find its temperature pretty quickly
here that's probably going to make the GPU run a little bit hotter as well not
much though I mean they're they're sort of different thermal zones because the
ventilation holes here are going to be mostly actually I can feel the air
coming in are going to be intake for the VGA fan which is right here and then
exhausting air out the back and then the CPU intake area is going to be over here
on this other side because the video card actually physically blocks off the
video card cooler from the rest of the internals here okay so there we go our
load CPU temperatures are in the neighborhood of let's say 60° okay which
is still acceptable and then let's fire
up a game and let's find out what our load video card attempts are going to be
so what we're going to do actually oh let's do it this way we're going to torture test four
threads so that we are pretty much fully loading this system let's leave uh let's
leave real temp on actually so that we can uh we can see when we get out of the
game how how hot it's running and then we are going to launch the campaign of
Battlefield 3 we're going to leave after burner running so that we can check the
GPU temps oh yeah idle GPU temps about 40 40 plus degrees which is still
acceptable yes the system is a touch on the loud side it's not what I would
consider to be a silent system but it's also not what I would consider to be
unacceptable either it's what I'd say is kind of you know your typical
desktop all right um give me a sec here guys I'll
get in game and then we'll check this out so noise level of the machine here
I'm just going to get slick to bring the camera kind of close to it so you can
see you can kind of hear the quality of the noise it's not a super high pitch
noise which to me makes more difference than the overall noise quality in
general oh I was about to oh you know what I guess it's okay here I'm going to
carefully move my steam Drive which is what my games run off
of just going to open up the uh the Shroud here and then I'll put it back on
before we take our temperature measurements but I just want to show you
guys how jam-packed it is in there like yeah I ghetto mounted the SSD whatever
but got the 2600k running there and the
7970 is uh installed with not a
millimeter to spare you can come over here and check out the other side we've
got some mushkin ridgeback 8 gig memories in there got some cooling for
the VM okay so we're going to throw this back on I'm not even going to bother
putting the screws on this time just because the screws do not affect the
cooling performance of the chassis in any way although having it closed properly
does there we go okay so I'll show you guys what kind of performance we're
getting in Battlefield 3 on Ultra yes
Ultra presets bam and here we go so yes we are getting
above 30 FPS in intensive scenarios that
means explosions going on all over the place and I just got knifed oh man okay
well either way let's check out what kind of load temperatures we get and
what I would consider to be as far as
realistic scenarios go a full load
scenario so here we go so our CPU maxes
out around 60° even with the graphics card running full bore as well and then
MSI afterburner shows us that our graphics card is peaking at around 72°
so very nice so yes you can build a high
performance system in a shuttle PC if you have the uh you
know desire thank you for watching lus
