00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:13,519
so this is uh my video about the z77

2
00:00:11,719 --> 00:00:19,680
shuttle with a radon hd7970 and a 2600k now please note guys

3
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:23,960
there is no overclocking and no overclocking will be done but a lot of

4
00:00:22,119 --> 00:00:28,480
naysayers out there have said blah blah blah lus the 500 W power supply in there

5
00:00:26,119 --> 00:00:34,160
is not capable of running that kind of a system to which I say f because it can

6
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:37,760
um and also this is more of a test than something that I actually know already

7
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:43,200
but I wanted to check out what kind of temperatures we're going to

8
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:47,760
get on this system if we load up an intensive oh okay apparently CPU that is

9
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:51,800
not working properly but whatever there's a 2600k in there that's all I

10
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:56,680
really needed to show you guys and I I'm telling you it's not overclocked um you

11
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:00,000
let's run some small fft and see what it boosts up to it's on air cooling so it

12
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:03,920
should pretty much find its temperature pretty quickly

13
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:07,680
here that's probably going to make the GPU run a little bit hotter as well not

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,400
much though I mean they're they're sort of different thermal zones because the

15
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,320
ventilation holes here are going to be mostly actually I can feel the air

16
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,159
coming in are going to be intake for the VGA fan which is right here and then

17
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:23,200
exhausting air out the back and then the CPU intake area is going to be over here

18
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,280
on this other side because the video card actually physically blocks off the

19
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:32,159
video card cooler from the rest of the internals here okay so there we go our

20
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,640
load CPU temperatures are in the neighborhood of let's say 60° okay which

21
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,560
is still acceptable and then let's fire

22
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:44,119
up a game and let's find out what our load video card attempts are going to be

23
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:53,960
so what we're going to do actually oh let's do it this way we're going to torture test four

24
00:01:51,159 --> 00:01:58,479
threads so that we are pretty much fully loading this system let's leave uh let's

25
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:03,119
leave real temp on actually so that we can uh we can see when we get out of the

26
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,799
game how how hot it's running and then we are going to launch the campaign of

27
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,239
Battlefield 3 we're going to leave after burner running so that we can check the

28
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:14,720
GPU temps oh yeah idle GPU temps about 40 40 plus degrees which is still

29
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,599
acceptable yes the system is a touch on the loud side it's not what I would

30
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:22,400
consider to be a silent system but it's also not what I would consider to be

31
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:25,440
unacceptable either it's what I'd say is kind of you know your typical

32
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,879
desktop all right um give me a sec here guys I'll

33
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:35,400
get in game and then we'll check this out so noise level of the machine here

34
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:41,000
I'm just going to get slick to bring the camera kind of close to it so you can

35
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,599
see you can kind of hear the quality of the noise it's not a super high pitch

36
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:47,959
noise which to me makes more difference than the overall noise quality in

37
00:02:45,959 --> 00:02:51,400
general oh I was about to oh you know what I guess it's okay here I'm going to

38
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,840
carefully move my steam Drive which is what my games run off

39
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,239
of just going to open up the uh the Shroud here and then I'll put it back on

40
00:02:57,959 --> 00:03:03,680
before we take our temperature measurements but I just want to show you

41
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,879
guys how jam-packed it is in there like yeah I ghetto mounted the SSD whatever

42
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,120
but got the 2600k running there and the

43
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:14,360
7970 is uh installed with not a

44
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,440
millimeter to spare you can come over here and check out the other side we've

45
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:23,239
got some mushkin ridgeback 8 gig memories in there got some cooling for

46
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,159
the VM okay so we're going to throw this back on I'm not even going to bother

47
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,959
putting the screws on this time just because the screws do not affect the

48
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:36,760
cooling performance of the chassis in any way although having it closed properly

49
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:41,319
does there we go okay so I'll show you guys what kind of performance we're

50
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:44,280
getting in Battlefield 3 on Ultra yes

51
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:53,319
Ultra presets bam and here we go so yes we are getting

52
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:55,680
above 30 FPS in intensive scenarios that

53
00:03:53,319 --> 00:04:00,360
means explosions going on all over the place and I just got knifed oh man okay

54
00:03:58,519 --> 00:04:05,200
well either way let's check out what kind of load temperatures we get and

55
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:09,000
what I would consider to be as far as

56
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:12,319
realistic scenarios go a full load

57
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,640
scenario so here we go so our CPU maxes

58
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:19,239
out around 60° even with the graphics card running full bore as well and then

59
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:26,240
MSI afterburner shows us that our graphics card is peaking at around 72°

60
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,880
so very nice so yes you can build a high

61
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:35,160
performance system in a shuttle PC if you have the uh you

62
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,720
know desire thank you for watching lus
