Here we get an overview of the CPU and GPU, courtesy of CPU-Z and GPU-Z, respectively.
The CPU is obviously the Ryzen 5 1600, a brand-new chip. It has 6 physical cores and supports SMT for a total of 12 threads. The 1600 is not clocked as high as the 1600X, though, as its base clock is 3.2GHz while it boosts to 3.6GHz. There is the possibility that a couple of those cores may boost a big higher, maybe to 3.7GHz, thanks to XFR, but it depends on the thermal headroom available.
Lastly, the GTX 1070 has not received a factory overclock, meaning its base clock is 1519MHz, while it is certified to boost to 1709MHz. Thanks to GPU Boost 3.0, though, I saw it settle around the 1770MHz mark while gaming.

Today we are testing the Fusion Hex at 1080p, 1440p and 2160p (Ultra HD 4K). All tests were conducted using the Nvidia GeForce 378.92 driver, the latest at the time of writing.
Thanks for the review KitGuru! Just a couple of points in response to the points raised in the review:
1. We are working with Cooler Master to produce a sleeved variant of this PSU for this system
2. With Ryzen 5 being such a new platform we were very limited with memory options that correctly operated to specification on this platform. As the platform matures we will look to include black PCB memory with attractive heat spreaders at no additional cost :).
Thanks,
Chillblast
Oh my god is this THAT power supply? Someone actually chose to use it, I questioned this when Leo did his coverage of CeBIT, did someone actually go to the trouble of making a White rated PSU, is that really a PSU that does not even make Bronze efficiency rating?
This system appears to have corner cutting written all over it or someone got a job lot of parts from Cooler Master. If you are going to fill it with butt ugly components don’t put a huge window on the side, also don’t use a huge case then fill half of it, and leave the empty half bright red so it stands out even more. I’m not the biggest expert in the world but every review I have read has said pair a Ryzen Processor with as high a frequency RAM as you can, certainly not 2400mhz this minimises the lower resolution framerate loss due to the RAM bottleneck. Only use a mini GPU if you are short of space or its for a aesthetic reason.
Chillblast are normally so much better than this and produce some awesome computers, all I can think is they wanted something in reviewers hands for the launch of Ryzen R5, I hope they take a look at some of the issues…..or at least pick a case without a window as an option ; )
