Silent X Technology
XPC SS58GSE has been enhanced with the latest Silent X
technologies. The Silent X concept is embodied in a number of
discreet Shuttle technologies, including: A 250W Silent X PSU,
4G Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) and
Intelligently-engineered airflow mechanics.
Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE)
Module
The Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) included in the XPC has
been purpose designed for whisper quiet operation. The ICE
heat-pipe module uses convection cooling to transfer heat away
from the processor. Copper tubing, coated in nickel and filled
with distilled water provides the conduit through which heat
passes to a radiator. A quiet, speed controlled 92mm ducted
fan covers the radiator, providing both processor cooling and
case exhaust. Every XPC uses this patented cooling technology
to prevent heat damage and deliver some of the quietest
computers available.
Smart Fan
Smart Fan functionality to intelligently monitor and
control the cooling fans. Smart Fan incorporates linear
control metrics to provide optimal cooling. Under normal
conditions, Smart Fan keeps the fan speed low, minimizing
acoustic noise. When the load increases, Smart Fan increases
the fan speed to provide optimal cooling. Better still,
Shuttle's Smart Fan lets you choose the desired temperature
and fan speed to suite your ergonomic needs.
250 Watt Power Supply
The SS58GSE features the "Super Quiet, Super Cool" Silent X
250W PSU. Tested in our acoustic lab from a distance of 50cm
(many competitors take measurements at 1M), this Shuttle
Silent X 250W PSU produces 32dB (or less) noise.
Intelligently Engineered Airflow
The XPC SS58GSE features more air intake points designed to
keep the motherboard cool and stable. The chassis and
underside of this XPC feature strategically positioned intake
points that channel cool air across critical components. These
intake points are engineered-size and position-to minimize
noise. |
