SN67H7 - i sourced one!

[_Jimlad_]

for some reason the SN67H7 never made these shores and even though it came out at the same time as the SN67H3 and is identical apart from the front i was despite to get one, being a bit ocd about how they look

its coming from Germany and i paid £314 which is a little OTT, but its from a well known e-tailor and i have a little protection, could have sourced it a little cheaper, but safety first!

apparently for those interested it should be readily available in the UK from next month around the £275 mark, about £35 more than the SN67H3.

----------

Anyways i have 8gb crucial memory, a SSD, GTX 460 already for it, so just need the CPU. im coming from the AMD in my sig. so i guess an I7 will be a big improvement? not sure if to get the i5 or the i7, what do people think?

 

[_Jimlad_]

yeah just gonna have a little look into cpu reviews

 

[_Jimlad_]

will do mate, it could take 14 days to arrive from germany, but this model should be around in the UK in August.

 

[_Jimlad_]

I paid 314 pounds imported from Germany via big online UK retailer. I know it will be cheaper when it arrives in the UK. But wanted now. In Poland at the min but will do a write up next week

why did you get the single slot 460?

already had it on my last shuttle, it plays battlefield bad company 2 on max which is the only game i currently play. but at least i can upgrade if i need too.

here's a video i did for my mate

[_Jimlad_]

I have to ask, what makes this case SO expensive?

i do see it as that expensive, ok i paid a premium for that model, due to be imported but in gernal you would be looking at around £260 in the uk,

you get a well built metal case
motherboard
psu
cooling system

yeah used my phone for the vid, it was just for my mate in Portugal who is a big shuttle fan, but thought i would add it on here as well.

very pleased with it and its very stable under gaming and stress tests.

 

[_Jimlad_]

cheers mate, im very pleased, you know how it can be buying lots of bits from different places, but it all went together and works well, stressed it and tested and no freezes or crashes. quiet enough as well

 

[_Jimlad_]

sh67h7 can be had for just over £300

 

[_Jimlad_]

yeah gotta do what you gotta do. i'm very pleased with mine, but big shuttle fan and been building them for 9 years nows

 

[_Jimlad_]

another new bios update

 

[_Jimlad_]

just ordered a 500w psu for this. so i can up my gcard

 

[_Jimlad_]

Can get Shuttle SH67H7 for £244.90 free delivery from a good uk retailer thats a better price still got add the price on for the 500watt psu upgrade though.
Total around £335.00 still bit pricy for me.

good price on the shuttle, i needed the upgrade when i did it, so that's the price you pay. as for the 500w psu, well that is only needed if you will be running a large gcard. what did you intent to put in your shuttle?

 

[_Jimlad_]

just stuck a 570 in mine

 

[_Jimlad_]

Nice card mate, how hot does it run in the shuttle case?

not sure yet buddy its quieter than the 460 i had before, but not tested BF3 yet and stuck it through its paces, will let you know a bit later,

ps you on BF3 yet? if so add me bud

[_Jimlad_]

Been playing since last monday mate, (done the proxy trick), request sent via origin. What issues were you having with the 460, im considering something like that for my second rig.

cool - added!

it was struggling, when i came out the game the driver would crash, also on high it stutterd, i would get a 560ti for £150 rather than a 460 buddy

 

[_Jimlad_]

its a never ending cycle of upgrading.

just to let you know, this 570 runs BF3 lovely just had a good blast, the temp sat around 57degs. and handled it lovely, mixture of high/ultra

 

[_Jimlad_]

yeah i took a gamble, but fits well, i had to lossen the screw on the hardrive caddy and then lift a little to get it in, but fits and runs well.
