We put the Scan system through our usual suite of workstation benchmarks. For comparison, we pitted it against the Overclockers RENDA PW-E7F and the PC Specialist high-end Xeon workstation from our recent features with a NVIDIA Quadro K5200 fitted, although we haven't run every test on every workstation. Neither system is in the same league both in terms of specification or price, but they will at least provide a comparison.

For the price you would expect it but is watercooling really needed on all these workstation PCs? It looks great (so does the OCUK one) but it just seems a bit OTT for what is in most cases going to be thrown into a server room, perhaps under the table or somewhere else that no one can see, plus no case window to show it off – I know the latter doesn’t matter as it’s a different market and silence is key on NLE & DAW systems but watercooling it seems almost pointless – I’d prefer to save some money and get high-end silence optimised cooling fans and heatsinks from Noctua for example.
Overclocking is another concern – Which may justify the watercooling – But a super high OC shouldn’t be in workstation PCs for fear of the system crashing. This doesn’t apply to this PC but there are plenty other workstation PCs done by companies like SCAN where they OC the CPU. If the CPU is OC’d a small amount then it’s not too bad but I’ve seen silly high OC’s which (if I was in the business of looking for a Workstation) would put me off as no OC is 100% stable no matter what lengths you go to ensure it doesn’t crash in various benchmark and stress test applications. Workstations should be safe and stable that you can trust for reliability with no fears.
my associate’s stride close aunti makes $98 an hour on the portable workstation……….Afterg an average of 19952 Dollars monthly,I’m finally getting 97 Dollars an hour,just working 4-5 hours daily online.….. Weekly paycheck… Bonus opportunities…earn upto $16k to $19k /a month… Just few hours of your free time, any kind of computer, elementary understanding of web and stable connection is what is required…….HERE I STARTED…look over here
it…

Safety and stability is a good reason for water cooling. Most workstations I test use it even without overclocking because it means larger, quieter fans can be used and the greater cooling means rock-solid stability on long arduous computes like rendering.
