OcUK Titan 8350a King Cobra MK2 (3.6GHz FX-8120 / 2GB Radeon 7850)

CyberLink MediaEspresso 6 is the successor to CyberLink MediaShow Espresso 5.5. With its further optimized CPU/GPU-acceleration, MediaEspresso is an even faster way to convert not only your video but also your music and image files between a wide range of popular formats.

Now you can easily playback and display your favourite movies, songs and photos not just on your mobile phone, iPad, PSP, Xbox, or Youtube and Facebook channels but also on the newly launched iPhone 4. Compile, convert and enjoy images and songs on any of your computing devices and enhance your videos with CyberLink’s built-in TrueTheater Technology.

New and Improved Features

  • Ultra Fast Media Conversion – With support from the Intel Core i-Series processor family, ATI Stream & NVIDIA CUDA, MediaEspresso’s Batch-Conversion function enables multiple files to be transcoded simultaneously.
  • Smart Detect Technology – MediaEspresso 6 automatically detects the type of portable device connected to the PC and selects the best multimedia profile to begin the conversion without the need for user’s intervention.
  • Direct Sync to Portable Devices – Video, audio and image files can be transferred in a few easy steps to mobile phones including those from Acer, BlackBerry, HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and Palm, as well as Sony Walkman and PSP devices.
  • Enhanced Video Quality – CyberLink TrueTheater Denoise and Lighting enables the enhancement of video quality through optical noise filters and automatic brightness adjustment.
  • Video, Music and Image File Conversion – Convert not only videos to popular formats such as AVI, MPEG, MKV, H.264/AVC, and FLV at the click of a button, but also images such as JPEG and PNG and music files like WMA, MP3 and M4A.
  • Online Sharing – Conversion to video formats used by popular social networking websites and a direct upload feature means posting videos to Facebook and YouTube has never been easier.

For our testing today we are converting a 4.4GB 720p MKV file (1h:58mins) to Apple Mp4 format for playback on a portable device. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power.

Hardware acceleration is enabled.

We would deem 13 minutes and 31 seconds to be an acceptable period of time to wait for an almost 2 hour-long HD MKV file to be converted, although, given the FX-8120's 8 physical cores, we would have liked this conversion to be slightly faster.

Tryx Luca L70 Case Review – needs a lot more work

The Tryx Luca L70 had some negative press at launch but is it really that bad?

  1. Why mount the power supply with the fan upwards? it won’t be sucking in cold air from outside. Fair, very honest review Luke, id like to see more from you in future.

    Not impressed with this build at all, although I like the AMD processors, good value for money.

  2. well thats disappointing. Nice components though, but ill build it myself thanks.

  3. I would never order a system from OCUK, their customer support is rude. I had a failed motherboard over a year ago and the hassles I had to go through for a reaplcement were incredible.

    Build your own system I say, if you can’t then go to a proper system builder like PC Specialist or Cyberpower

  4. This is rather devious of ocuk, naming it 8350. People will immediately think they are getting a fx8350 processor!

  5. This is just terrible, first of all, what drivers did you really use with the 7850, was is the 12.11?!

    Second of all, why in the world name it 8350a…Epic.

    Third, i have a similar system, i5 2400 3.2(4 cores) + Asus 7850 2GB V2, guess what?!My 3dmark11 score is http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/5473705 – 5841.

    Shame on AMD…

  6. you need a better gpu like nvidia 660Ti or amd 7950 .
    you can save money replace the useless and small 60GB SSD drive with a 750GB WD BLACK.
