We measured the noise emissions of our entire test system at the wall while loading the CPU using Prime95 and GPU using FurMark. We also measured the noise emissions of the system with it resting at the desktop. We placed our digital sound level meter 1m from the front of the case when recording results.
The only area in which the Alpha Pulse doesn't excel is in noise emissions. When the system is idle it's far from silent and under load it generates quite an intrusive whiny noise.
looks like a good selection of components but im not impressed with the case either. Thermaltake make shoddy cases generally. low cost materials etc.
looks like a nice system, but id rather build my own, as Henry said, dont like this case at all.
Just like me if you are a great fan of gaming computers then you should check out the online shop.
£1399.99 now…
Price increases in this case are reasonable and understandable.
The world’s components are traded in dollars.
At the time it was reviewed, the US dollar was relatively weak – with a value of around $1.65 to £1
The pound now only buys just over $1.50 – which is a drop of almost 10%
That 10% movement will translate into a cost increase of around the same value
If a company submits a machine for review and changes it within 28 days, then we will launch a FULL investigation… But a change after many months where the source of the change is (a) clear and (b) outside the supplier’s control is fine
We hope you agree 🙂
