The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 24c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.
Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by playing Crysis Warhead for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 30 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.
The system never runs too hot, even with the decent overclock. The CPU peaks at around the 70c mark, as does the pair of GTX660's.
very nicely priced. Do they sell them with the OS and drivers all installed? would be ideal for my dad.
Interesting to see power consumption tests too. I would have thought that system would be closer to 500w under load. Amazing how wrong I was.
DIdnt even know they made systems. thats very good. I actually like the idea of not paying for another OS as ive 10 licenses of Windows 7 !
great review
The only thing id change would be the case? do they offer even a white case? Those piano black designs drive me nuts too. My last case was like that and it was a mess everytime I looked at it.
@DAVIS – Yes we do. Just call the sales team who can make a note of this during test stage.
@JOE – We can swap out the case no problems. Just give our sales team a call who will be happy to help you.
Aria have increased the price by £200 to £1200 so this is no longer a bargain, in fact it is way overpriced and Aria are basically conning peeps by linking to kitguru – kitguru should remove their recommendation as the system has increased in price.
