Origin PC Chronos: Two GeForce GTX 780 Tis In A Mini Gaming Cube

Page 9 of 17:

Results: F1 2012

Frame rates in F1 2012 are typically bottlenecked by either the CPU or DRAM, and both of those bottlenecks can be exacerbated by the mere presence of extra graphics cards. With all results exceeding 100 FPS, the High quality preset isn't demanding enough for us to squeeze useful data from these machines.

Even the Ultra quality setting doesn’t stress these GPUs enough to get a big boost from SLI or CrossFire. The Chronos wins by a small margin at 5760x1080 over AVADirect’s single-card configuration.

Ouch, that is expensive!
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.

21+73=94.That's a 94c peak CPU temp! Jay-soos! I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing.....

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.

Ah, but 17+73=90. It never reached max fan speed :)

Quiet, powerful and a small footprint.
That is a great combination in my book :)

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.

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.

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.
