Shuttle/CPU List

[xane]

Seeing the protracted interest in the Shuttle "barebones" systems, and others of their type, this might be useful for people thinking of getting one.

Recently I put a 1.3Ghz Athlon "Palomino" (266Mhz FSB) into a Shuttle, although on the recommended list, it is not exactly the coolest CPU around and consequently I believe it is now dead, perhaps either due to the "heatpipe" system or the wimpy PSU. I'll confirm this absolutely later by putting it back into the PC it originally came from (now upgraded to an Athlon XP 2500+ "Barton" 333Mhz FSB).

I actually got the 1.3Ghz up and running and was halfway through the BIOS setup when it died, interestingly I think the FSB was set at 100Mhz initially, afterwards I replaced it with a Duron 850Mhz which seems to run fine at a constant 38-40 deg with fan set at "full".

So, as a quick survey, if you own a Shuttle of any type, Intel or AMD, please list the following:

(a) Shuttle model
(b) CPU
(c) Fan setting
(d) Additional cooling
(e) Case on or off

TIA

• Fan Setting - Default (variable)
• Additional Cooling - None
• Case Status - On
• Drive Bays - (5.25") CD Drive, (Internal 3.25") Hard-Drive, (External 3.25") Empty

  Shuttle Two
• Shuttle Model - SN41G2B

Sadly I don't have either any more, but they were both fine when I built them.

Kind Regards

(sorry I added some things, but they seemed relevant to possible overheating issues.)

 

[Deadmanwalking]

You don't have it half as bad as i do

Pretty much the same as Jonties

Hmm, I wonder why? hehe.

As for the question in hand, perhaps including what else is in the case, as Quige rightly suggested, may be useful. Naturally having things occupying the drive bays and or AGP/PCI slots will affect the temperature. Also, overclocking the CPU could have an overall effect.

Kind Regards

• 
  Shuttle Fileserver
• Shuttle Model - SB52G2
• Processor - Intel Pentium IV 3.06Ghz w/Hyperthreading
• Fan Setting Default (variable)
• Additional Cooling Nidec Gamma on harddrives
• Case Status On
• Drive Bays
• (5.25") 120Gb 7200RPM WD1200JB,
• (Internal 3.25") 120Gb 7200RPM WD1200JB,
• (External 3.25") 120Gb 7200RPM WD1200JB
• AGP/PCI PCI - 802.11g 54Mbit Wireless Card

Had to slap a gamma in there in the end - with 3x120Gb drives it was getting rather too warm for my liking. CPU wise even when the exchange server is being thrashed out (it's a windows server 2003 box) the fan isn't noticeably louder, which I guess means it's still below the thermal threshhold set for it to get noisy

(a) Shuttle model :SS51G
(b) CPU: 2ghz @ 2329ghz
(c) Fan setting: psu replaced with a silent one, zalam silent cpu fan.
(d) Additional cooling : 2 very slim and noise fans on either side of the case.
(e) Case on or off : on

That's good as i hear you are a bit lacking here and there

Edit ~ Just fixing your list for you ~ Jonty

Edit - Ta Jonts Added my geforce 2, okay so its not the warmest of cards, but my sys temperature hasnt changed much yet.

 

[Ch3tan]

Okay when running games and CPU heavy applications my CPU rises to around 65, drops very rapidly as soon as I stop playing though.

 

[Deadmanwalking]

Mine does the same Ch3tan but my overheat protection kicks in at 57 odd.

 

[Ch3tan]

Think the change to a high fan speed is set to 80 in the bios, that was the default so I left it as that. Not noticed the fan change speed yet.

 

[Clowneh!]

Does thermal gook come with the shuttle SN45G? I ordered it today, and 1MB RAM I'll get the hard drive and processor on Tuesday.

 

[Jonty]

Hi Clowneh!

The SN45G should come with some thermal paste in the box which contains the manuals and CDs etc.

Kind Regards

Jonty

P.S. I hope you mean 1Gb of RAM and not 1Mb, hehe

 

[Teh Krypt]

Wow everyones getting these buggers?

They really that good? Might get one of those instead of a pc upgrade, what prices are we talking?

Also pros and cons

 

[Ch3tan]

Only con is limited space IMO. If you get an AMD system you get good onboard graphics, Intel ones have bad graphics. YOu'll still want to add your own agp gfx card, which will take up the one AGP slot. YOu have one PCI slot, the onboard sound is very good, and adequote unless your a musician, ethernet card is built in, so you should be able to get away with leaving the pci slot free.

As for drives you can have 3 in total, one 5"25 and two 3"25.

 

[Teh Krypt]

Whats price difference compared with the same specs but tower?

*shrug*

They all confuse me

 

[Teh Krypt]

So.. you buy the shuttle, do they come with processors or what? I can't see any speeds on sites

I know you buy gfx card seperate ofc

Edit: If someone could, tell me what you get with the thing and what i need to get on top.

 

[Ch3tan]

Read the (huge) shuttle thread, and you will learn all

YOu have to get CPU, RAM, HD and drives seperatly, the shuttle itself is a mobo inside a small case with a unique cooling system. I paid £666.24 inc VAT for mine.

Shuttle sb61g2, onboard intel gfx, onboard 10/100 ethernet, onboard 5.1 sound, 6 USB ports and 4 firewire, plus optical and analouge sound out.

p4 2.6C (ht +800mhz fsb)
1gig ddr400 RAM (cas2.5)
120gig WD S-ATA HD.
Samsung black cd-rw dvd combi drive.

So thats without new gfx card, whcih I will wait till HL2 for.

I am highly impressed with the thing, and I suppose I could have saved money getting a full sized case and mobo over the shuttle, but now I have a very small, powerful and quiet PC

 

[Teh Krypt]

Okay, how do the onboard graphics perform?

 

[Clowneh!]

Not very well. It will do for Quake 2 tho
