Here, we present a few performance indicators to show you how fast a PC you can expect in a fanless chassis.
Cinebench R15
In Cinebench, the i7-6700 went straight to the top of our chart. Despite having a locked multiplier, the quad-core chip with HyperThreading is a strong performer. Cinebench R15 did not cause the CPU to throttle, which is also a plus.
Sandra Memory Bandwidth
The Corsair Vengeance 2400MHz DIMMs also offer solid performance in our memory bandwidth test – just about sharing second place with the PCSpecialist Defiance III laptop.
CrystalDiskMark
Lastly, we benchmarked the Samsung PM961 – really strong performance from one of the fastest (and newest) NVMe SSDs around.
It is like an post-Steve apple product, looks nice but is impractical in many ways.
Impractical in what way? How many other cases offers 100% fanfree installation? And i bét they used the thermal pad instead of regular grease and a 91 TDP cpu when the case cpu cooler have a 65 TPD recomend. This can take care of a i7 no problem and FANFREE with the additional cpu mount, no other case can that.
What this have to do with the case bring practical? I am taking about where the ports are located. It is impractical to use on a workflow like that.
True but how often do you need to change? A USB hub and it’s fixed otherwise its pretty compact, stylish looking and you don’t have to worry about the cables inside since there are no airflow to take in consideration.
sure but it could be so much prettier if they where at least 2 usb incorporated in the design (I for example always need to plug and unplug external storage or my phone, but 2 are enough) and save you the extra step of a hub (which will also be more ugly cables on your desk.
This is why I say is like an apple product, where they remove practical ports just for the sake of minimalism.
But Steve Jobs had it right back then “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” and design lately tend to forget that form follow function.
