Cryo Hydro Nemesis SE system review

Cinebench R11.5 is the newest revision of the popular benchmark from Maxon. The test scenario uses all of your system’s processing power to render a photorealistic 3D scene (from the viral “No Keyframes” animation by AixSponza). This scene makes use of various different algorithms to stress all available processor cores.

In fact, CINEBENCH can measure systems with up to 64 processor threads. The test scene contains approximately 2,000 objects containing more than 300,000 total polygons and uses sharp and blurred reflections, area lights and shadows, procedural shaders, antialiasing, and much more. The result is given in points (pts). The higher the number, the faster your processor.

Once again, the results are staggering, the Cyro system with CPU at 4.5ghz leaves the 875K at 4.8ghz for dead. Literally. Professional artists and designers are going to love this system.

  1. Fuck me.

    I am in work right now but ive skimmed half of the review. the performance is mind melting. its expensive, but hell at least its well made. *dell* cough

  2. i saw the price, and almost splurted out my coffee. After reading the results however, bloody hell. I think its almost worth the price. It would be if I was loaded mind you.

    My own system seems so woefully inadequate now, I almost punched it out of anger 🙂

  3. we should have a poll. “Kitguru has undoubtadely high end readers, how many of them however could afford this Cryo system?”.

    What the bets, less than 5%? imagine this going up on tomshardware. its all 13 year old boys, no one would even understand it :p

  4. absolutely beautiful, way out of my price league, but regardless. I want it 🙂

  5. can we have a competition to win it ? please? Zardon, bribe Cryo.

  6. That lian li is quite a modest chassis, you would think they would have opted for the X2000, high end case ?

  7. Yeah I agree, we need a Cyro competition. just to even see the crate :p

  8. I need to get a job running Apple, then I could afford this. You reckon Steve Jobs would like it? I bet he would, but he probably would go use it behind a locked door in his mansion. Frag some newbs in Left4Dead2.

  9. Wow, I don’t really know what to say. thats just insane.

  10. How much? dear lord, how much? I couldn’t even earn that in a year! Id like a job building pcs for them though ! how cool would that be, being able to tell your boss you are ‘stress testing’ the new system for the customer by playing games all day on it.

  11. lol, 30 pages. I like to think id be a good reviewer but id kill myself half way through.

    Nice review Zardon, and that system is a lot of readies, but it seems like the bizz!

  12. Cryo? never heard of them, but im going to check them out. My last system I had cyberpower build me and it was utter crap. a stick of crap on a crapfest pole.

  13. Its almost like Dell, but good in every way :p

  14. That read out device is good, where can you get them?

  15. HD5870’s? whats the point, isnt one good enough for anything?

  16. Terrance Tribblet

    980x and HD5870’s. the stuff of legend. and dreams. wet ones. ernm. ill stop typing now

  17. I nearly went and bought this on my credit card, then splashed cold water over my face. I am still tempted. I cant build a system this good, and my last three have been cheap ass, rubbish. I suck 🙁

  18. @ the guy looking for the LED readout device. You can get them almost anywhere in stores man, check your online dealer. aint too hard to pick up.

  19. I always wanted to build a water cooling system like this, but im too chicken to do it

  20. Slasher Dasher (GR)

    Anyone here born into a rich family? if so, contact me and we can trade places. id sell my soul for this.

  21. wow, more than the price of my last car. but if its your thing, cant see you getting much better than this. any other UK builders like CRYO?

  22. @ DAX – yeah there are Dell and HP. they make some great systems like this 🙂

    seriously though, I dont know, I tend to build all my own systems and its not something I look out for. This is better than I could build though, not too proud to say it

  23. Falcon Northwest ever move to the UK?

  24. no, they are only in America, they get a good rep though. crap name, always reminds me of a bird santcuary.

  25. The lack of SSD is weird mind you, would have expected to see one as a boot drive

  26. Why no SSD? wtf.

  27. its optional extra for SSD, they do sell em, check out the linkages

  28. great showcase and I am sure the rest of their systems are nicely made too. its way out of my price league. I sold my last car for less than this.

  29. Seems a bit overpriced, going on the part costs, but I pose they offer support and repair, time etc.

  30. Its only overpriced, if you dont have it 🙂

  31. I love porn movies

    Review long enough? lol, seriously. 30 pages. enjoyed the read though, think you covered everything I could want to know.

    Well apart from performance in solitaire. how many FPS ?

  32. Good to see Crysis was playable :p rofl

  33. 2560×1600 Crysis at enthusiast ! woo whooo. id buy that for a dollar. ermm I mean several thousand.

  34. Gareth Cringle

    power consumption is slightly high. wouldnt fancy seeing my electric bill next quarter!

  35. While I cant afford this, that is an amazing build. I was over looking at their other systems, some nice looking builds. ill bookmark it and look ater when I get home.

  36. thats really a showcase of how to build a PC. even the routing is top notch. look at the PSU for instance. and the top area near the CPU.

  37. Rockstar lover

    While I cant afford a new PC now, these guys are building my next one, ive birthday money coming next month, so ill get something around 1200 🙂

  38. im going to buy one of these in a few months, not the SE one, but the cheaper version, which is a grand less.

  39. Far flung corners

    Great review Mr Zardon, one of the best ive seen in a long time.

    As for the system, Id go for a bigger case for something like this, seems a little small. Why not use a bigger Lian Li? apart from that, very good. liked the photography too.

  40. Great review, and mega system if a little expensive

  41. Frenk Luminious Cheese Grater

    What a design. what a product. One of the fastest pcs ive seen by a long shot.

    Not really affordable, but that happens when you dont cut corners!

  42. That tubing is wicked. my friend has a similar system which he built, ill have to show him this however

  43. very well built system, but lack of SSD is quite surprising, surely for the money it could have made the cut 🙂

  44. Francois LeBon

    The watercooling selection is well educated. this equipment is well known to be very reliable and high performing. id like to see a 980x running at 5ghz however. not many can do that, would need phase possibly.

  45. Impressive review for a killer system. nice to see a company with their thumb firmly out of their ass. for a change. Alienware take note !

  46. Do they deliver outside the UK or too expensive?

  47. Eddenberg Brun

    oui oui, I like, delicious build

  48. I priced all the components, its around 3k, so 500 markup to cover support, time building etc. its not really that much.

  49. 3k? i think not, seems more like 2.7k by my calculations.

  50. my wallet is screaming at the thought of it, but hey, each to their own !

  51. If I had a lot of spare cash I would buy it, I can never build systems as good as this, so why not. For the mean time, im using a toshiba laptop. sad, yep.

  52. I’m Drooling as I read these.

  53. i dont understand what all the hype is about. the liquid cooling side is undersized drastically, the cpu block is ok but theres better, the wire routing and cable managment looks pretty bad (custom sleeving woulda been nice) the pumps just ok. to me its a PC full of fluff to make people go wow that dont have a clue. u could build this system yourself and have a much cleaner look then what they came up with plus the performance would be better and much cheaper
