System:
The Braebo Enforcer is supplied with Windows 8 pre-installed. Our sample wasn’t supplied with the discs or CD key however we expect retail versions will include these.
Braebo haven’t manually increased the CPU voltage at all to achieve the 4.5 GHz overclock and have left all the settings on ‘Auto’.
The inbuilt Windows benchmarks rates the system at 7.3, thanks to the slow solid state drive which can’t quite keep up with the rest of the system. This is hardly a definitive measure of performance but it gives us a vague idea of the system’s capabilities.
Looking at CPU-Z we can see that the motherboard is feeding the Intel Core-i5 3570K with around 1.21V (under load) to sustain the 4.5 GHz overclock. The memory is configured to run at 1333 MHz with timings of 7-7-7-20.
GPU-Z confirms that the Enforcer boasts a nVidia GTX 660 Ti with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory.
We are using the supplied Iiyama ProLite E2480HS 24” 1080P monitor for testing.

£1500 is very expensive for that really.
Yeah, not a great selection of components. especially the memory. thats not really forgiveable in 2013.
£1,500? I dont think so, I could build a much better system for that price.
Nothing I really like about that build, I normally like the pcspecialist builds you feature on this page, and the mesh one was even nice, but this ? nah. pass.
I am glad that didnt get an award, because its pants. The whole build looks like its sagging inside and the component selection is dire. unnamed memory? entry level PSU and poor cooling, for £1,500? serious? id have gave it 5 out of 10. not 7, but as I said, no award, so im letting you guys off with it.
TBH i would rather have a gaming laptop than a gaming pc these days.oo00 that reminds me i’ve just bought a samsung seris 7 gaming laptop.laptops for the win in my book 🙂
wow, thats a system I wouldnt have myself. a last gen SSD, crap memory and an entry level cooler master PSU? temps are terrible too.
Thats embarassing. thumbs down from me.
