more so we built up this system a long
time ago this is our tiny mini ITX 3570k
overclocked to 4.5 GHz by the way so
3570k overclocked and GTX
Titan little mini ITX system now we had
a lot of people questioning us when we did the original build um okay lonus so
you put it in there but Titan's great at dynamically reducing clock speeds in
order to conserve itself thermally and
so you know is it actually going to boost up to the same level that you
advertised in your benchmarks and all that stuff if you put it inside such a
small enclosure so in order to respond to that we built the system back up we
actually had taken it apart since the GTX Titan launch other than leaving
pretty much I think there was just the hard drives and motherboard left in
there so I want to show you guys what we find in terms of temperatures I've been
playing Far Cry 3 blood Dragon here so we're going to fire up EVGA Precision
check this out so we set our power Target to 106% as well as our temp
Target to 90° which is the same that we used for our overclocking we turned up
our memory clock offset and our GPU clock offset check this out so we are
running consistently at anywhere from around um 1,50 MHz
to as high as 1100 MHz on the GTX Titan
in a real world gaming scenario and we're seeing power anywhere from around
92 to around 100 around 100% so it is
definitely running and our ambient temperatures so we're taking the ambient
temperatures right at the intake for the case are around 23° so it's not balmy
hot but it's also not super chilly in here either the way that it was when we
did our original video back when Titan launched so I'm going to show you guys
the Close Quarters that you're going to find our Titan system in so this is in
our Cubit tech oh crap I forget what it's called I believe it's called the
mini Cube or something like that mini ice uhoh I'm in trouble Cub mini
something mini Cube yep cubc mini Cube
and I'm going to go ahead and open it up so it's got your your USB ports we've
got our sweet green lighting effects going on there so hopefully you can see
that through the USB ports you can also see a little bit of ground effects going
on over here um my lav mic is apparently
an issue so there we go I'm going to turn this around and show you guys at
the back so there's our there's our lighting inside there is some seriously
hot exhaust coming out of this system although it's not that loud here I'll
put the lab next to it it's not something I'd call a silent
system by any stretch of the imagination but it's not like it sounds like a wind
tunnel either which is what happens sometimes with these small form factor
systems um and that's what I mean system builders in particular were really
excited about when it came to NVIDIA talking about GTX Titan now that's with
the GK 110 GPU uh so I mean any other
graphics card such as Teslas that shared that GK 110 GPU sort of uh Heritage
might be similar so there you go there's
our Titan inside we're going to go ahead and flip that up so our lighting goes
all the way around up here that's using bit Phoenix Alchemy strips we've got our
3 570k clocked at 4.5 GHz with this
Noctua cooler on there oh that's toasty uh we've got 8 gigs of Kingston hyperx
memory although there's no reason you couldn't put 16 gigs in there You' certainly got ample cooling for it with
this fan uh blowing air directly down on top of it our seic power supply our GTX
Titan which takes up the bulk of the inside of the case you can see it's got
the lighting on there and then we've got another NF F12 so this is really
important to have that nice high static pressure directed air flow blowing on
the the back of the card four SATA cables go around to the back where you
can have up to I think we had uh two ssds and two hard drives in it when we
did our original build so just absolute craziness so there you go guys our proof
that not only can you build a small form factor machine with a GTX Titan but it
will actually run and it will actually overclock to over a gigahertz as long as
you allow it to run within the power thresholds and temperature thresholds
that we specified when we did our original review very very cool and I've
had a lot of people ask me after the original video that we did in this case
where can I buy one of those the answer is I have no idea this was a sample they shipped it
to me I have no idea whatsoever thank
