AMD Athlon 64 Processors (Socket 939)
AMD introduced the next natural step in desktop processor development - the Athlon 64. This processor delivers greater bandwidth, processing power and on a whole, better performance than existing, legacy 32-bit chips. User's clamored to join the 64-bit revolution and channel partners had few issues moving boxes.
Now with the introduction of Socket 939 processors based on the same Athlon 64 architecture, user's can experience more raw power and even better memory performance. Increased HyperTransport bandwidth allows for a full 1GHz (1600MT/s) CPU-Northbridge link. The on-chip, Dual-Channel DDR400 memory controller of the NVIDIA nForce 3 250 GB Chipset provides a palpable performance boost.
NVIDIA nForce 3 250 GB Chipset
Based on the NVIDIA nForce3 250 GB chipset, the SN95G5 V3 delivers cutting-edge features and wicked-fast performance. Supporting new-to-market Socket 939 Athlon 64 processors, this chipset supports a fast 1GHz system bus with upstream and downstream data transfers equating to an amazing 1600MT/s (Mega Transfers per second ). In addition, the nForce3 chipset supports high-bandwidth 8X AGP cards.
Hardware Firewall
High-performance, network-level firewall, this Hardware Firewall protects your PC from intruders by filtering unauthorized traffic. Integrated into The SN95G5 V3, it provides professional-grade traffic inspection capabilities, advanced management features--remote access, configuration, and monitoring--and is easy to use and setup via a user friendly wizard.
Silent X Technology
The XPC SN95G5 V3 proudly wears the Silent X technology logo. The Silent X concept is embodied in a number of discreet Shuttle technologies, including; A Silent X PSU, Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE); and intelligently-engineered airflow mechanics.
"Silent X is a world-class family of cooling and noise-reduction technologies exclusive to the Shuttle XPC," said Jonathon Yi, vice-president of product management, Shuttle. "The Silent X logo is your assurance that Shuttle XPC's are 'Super Quiet, Super Cool.'"
Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) Module
The Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) included in the SN95G5 V3 improves on previous XPC ICE designs. The ICE module's thermal resistance has been reduced to an amazing 0.16oC/W. This is more half the thermal resistance of first generation XPCs and almost one-third that of Intel's BTX standard. Further, the heat exchange surface area has been greatly increased. In addition, this model sports a large 92mm cooling fan to quietly push more air out the back of the case.
The Integrated Cooling Engine uses convection (liquid) cooling to transfer heat away from the processor and other critical system components. Copper tubing, coated in nickel and filled with distilled water provides the conduit through which heat is radiated out of the chassis.
Smart Fan
As mentioned, the XPC SN95G5 V3 features a new 92mm Smart Fan, which moves (50CFM) a great volume of air. This fan features a 4-pin header, i.e PWM spec, and be linearly controlled in BIOS, which means that "fan cycling" is a thing of the past.
240 Watt Power Supply
The SN95G5 V3 features the "Super Quiet, Super Cool" Silent X 240W PSU. Tested in our acoustic lab from a distance of 50cm (many competitors take measurements at 1M), the PSU operates at just 32dB, which is equivalent to the news generated by quite room and just barely audible to the human ear.
Airflow
The XPC SN95G5 V3 features more air intake points designed to keep the motherboard cool and stable. The underside edge is lined with intake points. Other intake points are also located on the underside of the machine to improve motherboard cooling. Internally, the NB fan directs air across MOSFETS, providing superior cooling and stability.
G5 Chassis
The XPC SN95G5 V3 uses the new G5 chassis. Based on the Shuttle Original "G" chassis design, the G5 has been overhauled for the style conscious user. The G5 makes a number of improvements over the earlier G and G2 series chassis, including:
Stealthed Drive Doors
G5's clean facia is thanks to three well-integrated stealth bay covers. The optical drive, floppy drive and front media ports can all be hidden from view when not in use - providing superior style and visual appeal. The integrated media ports on SN95G5 V3's front panel have been redesigned for better functionality. The space between the USB ports has been enlarged to make room for devices such as digital camera and thumb drives to be installed at the same time. Also the line in jack has been moved to the back panel, providing a neat and functional finish.
Integrated Cable Management
Starting with the SN85G4 (production version), all new XPC's will ship with integrated cable management to ease installation. IDE cables will be pre-installed, and power leads will be wrapped and clipped to the chassis. The SN95G5 V3 goes one step further and integrates one serial ATA cables for the rack HDD.
