The tests were performed in a controlled environment with the temperature maintained at a constant 24°C. Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by running Furmark and Cinebench together. As this is a home entertainment system, we decided to measure the temperatures while playing a 1080P movie.
The confined space in which the components operate limits the amount of cool air that can reach them. As Arctic mainly use laptop-designed components, higher temperatures are well within their safe operational limits.
A point worth noting is that the brushed aluminium chassis radiates heat away from the components. It effectively acts as a heatsink. While this may help reduce component temperatures, the casing reached the dizzying heights of over 45°C during our testing. It would be advisable to leave plenty of space around the chassis for cool air to circulate.
excellent looking media center, great styling. bit costly as you say though.
You pay for the chassis design really, but Id rather build my own media center with the latest silverstone chassis. Better airflow, even if is a bit bigger.
Still nice idea from ARCTIC, although ive concerns over their pricing lately, their GPU coolers are very expensive too.
No bluray optical drive for this pricing? Are they kidding. wow thats well over the price I would expect for that hardware specification.
Bluray can be added with usb based external Bluray drive.
I like this blog.I’m really glad I have found this information.This post is really helpful for us. i certainly love this website, keep on it.Excellent post, I will be checking back regularly to look for updates.
I’m not sure exactly why but this weblog is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
