Origin PC Chronos: Two GeForce GTX 780 Tis In A Mini Gaming Cube
Features
published
Origin PC proves you can get two GeForce GTX 780 Tis and a heavily overclocked Core i7-4770K into a microATX form factor using BitFenix's popular Phenom M chassis. Yes, the combination is expensive, but it's also oh-so fast. We deconstruct it for you.

All of our productivity-oriented benchmarks are well-threaded, but 3ds Max also shows a slight preference for the newer architecture of the quad-core builds. The result is that the two six-core machines take smaller wins in this application.

outlw6669 Ouch, that is expensive!Reply
Loving the small form factor and performance though.
How loud does this system have to get to handle all that heat?
I am guessing that it will be pretty noisy; probably the biggest downside to putting so much performance in such a small package. -
bemused_fred 21+73=94.That's a 94c peak CPU temp! Jay-soos! I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing.....Reply -

Nope, it's quiet. The reason it's quiet is that it uses GeForce 780 Ti's. They use what's probably the best GPU cooler ever devised.12551434 said:Ouch, that is expensive!

Ah, but 17+73=90. It never reached max fan speed :)12551444 said:21+73=94.That's a 94c peak CPU temp! Jay-soos! I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing..... -

Quiet, powerful and a small footprint.
That is a great combination in my book :) -
Zeh I'd rather not have a 1 TB SSD. It's expensive as it is and 256gb is more than enough, at least for me. Heck, I have a 60gb and I'm fine with it.Reply -
quilciri I have a pair of 120gb ssd's in raid0, and it's nearly full with about 1/4 of my steam library, I'd like a 1tb ssd, but really don't want to shell out for one. the Hybrid drives are looking prety good, though. I'm suprised, with all the other money they dumped into this system that the storage drive wasn't a hybrid.Reply -
larsoncc The internals are just amazing. Look at how beautifully compact it all is. I bet it's surprisingly heavy for its size; those 850W power supplies have some heft to them.Reply
