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.
Load measurements were acquired by running Furmark and Cinebench together. We included results from a diode which we placed beside the motherboard and the exhaust fans.
Considering the incredibly small size of the chassis we were surprised how well the temperatures held at around 70c under extended load. Sapphire have clearly spent considerable time with the design of this diminutive PC.
I cant get over the size of that, its staggeringly small.
Beautiful bit of kit, reasonable pricing too. silent and low power, we all should be working toward that, not 40GB processing power.
My electric bill this quarter was insane. 🙁 I need to go green.
They should have made it with Fusion E350, its much better !maybe a revision 2 ?
They really should have made the stand thinner to match the low profile shape. its by far the biggest part of the design. It looks to me (although I might be wrong) that they could have made it much thinner but kept it stable and balanced.
Nice product, but ive already got an atom netbook and it drives me friggin crazy. they are such a crap CPU.
This is certainly a showcase of engineering capability. its hard to get good cooling in such a case design. I love it, even though its an Atom. E350 would make much more sense for Sapphire, but obviously they were tied into the atom platform for this build.
Ideal for a home server/media center. looks great.
I like the fact they opted for a decent sized hard drive in it.
Shocked to see Sapphire working with Intel and nvidia components in this. just checked that hell hasnt frozen over.
is it silent enough to have it in the sleeping room or does only the shuttle xs fanless design work there?
I think its quiet enough to have in a bedroom yes. I couldnt even hear it from 5 feet away. Id hate to say its completely silent because if you had this unit close to your head and under load during the evening then perhaps you would hear the fan.
I’m sorry, does everyone seem to forget the Raspberry Pi these days?
