Arctic MC001-BD Entertainment Center Review (BD/passive)

Removing the panel is straightforward, but the base has to be detached first. There are several yellow isolation pads to keep contact away from the metal insides.

As this unit is passively cooled we can see that the ATOM processor is being cooled by a rather large heatpipe based heatsink.

The design lends itself to a very clean, cable free layout. The wireless card is positioned to the far corner ensuring maximum reception strength.

The system is populated with 2x2GB of DDR3 memory, from ‘Team'. The TSD32048M SO-DIMM modules are rated to 1333mhz with 9-9-9-24 timings.
