Mini-PC Barebone for Intel Core i7 Processors

This new flagship spearheads Shuttle's squad of high-performance

Mini-PCs. It is based on the Intel X58 Express Chipset making to ready to run Intel Core i7 processors for the first time. A fast processor is of course nothing without a lot of memory. Up to 16GB of blazingly fast DDR3 modules are supported by four DIMM slots.

To complement this, the SX58H7 already comes supplied with two

Gigabit network connectors. Concentrated performance in a small space - so even applications from the professional sector as well as brand-new games do not present any problem at all for the XPC Barebone SX58H7.

Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 – Special Product Features

New H7 chassis with enhance expansion ability

The new H7 chassis dimensions have grown slightly in contrast to the previous G-Series adding various of welcome improvements to the

Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7. The larger power supply fan of 5cm in size helps to cut down on noise level even more also providing a better thermal efficiency for the entire system. The front panel sports an eSATA port for instant access to an external hard disk. With a renewed mainboard layout, the SX58H7 is capable of running dual-slot graphics cards and up to four memory modules with a max. capacity of 16GB.

Based on new Intel Nahalem architecture

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 is based on the new core microarchitecture, codenamed Nehalem, which brings some major changes not only to the the processor architecture but also the system architecture. These are most significant changes:

• The memory controller has moved from the chipset to the processor and features a triple channel DDR3 interface.

• The Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) replaces the legacy front side bus between processor and chipset.

Supports new Intel Core i7 processors

SX58H7 is the first Shuttle XPC with the new Socket 1366 and supports the Intel® Core™ i7 processors models 920, 940 and 965XE. These are the first Intel processors which come with a native quad-core design, where all four cores sit on the same piece of silicon which share a massive 8MB level 3 cache. In addition, each core supports Hyperthreading which enables this processors process eight threads simultaneously, making it even more massively parallel and powerful than the current Core 2 Quad CPUs.

Turbo on

Built-in overclocking "Turbo" mode

Originally introduced on mobile Penryn, Turbo mode simply increases the operating frequency of the processor if conditions are cool enough for the CPU to run at the higher frequency. Each Nehalem can run its four cores at up to 133MHz higher than the stock frequency (e.g.

3.33GHz in the case of the 3.2GHz 965 model), or if only one core is active then it can run at up to 266MHz higher than stock (3.46GHz up from 3.2GHz). Benchmarks show an increase of the overall performance by 2% to 7% if Turbo mode is enabled in the BIOS setup.

Product Specification

Dynamic Overclocking Technology (D.O.C.) *)

This is the overclocking function in the BIOS Setup, which is designed to detect the load balance of CPU while running programs, and to adjust the best CPU frequency automatically. When the mainboard detects

CPU is running programs, it will speed up CPU automatically to make the program run smoothly and faster. When the CPU is temporarily suspending or staying in the low load balance, it will restore the default settings instead.

Integrated Cooling Evolution (I.C.Evo)

Shuttle's XPCs offer the power of a desktop PC in a form factor onethird the size. In order to ensure proper airflow inside a smaller unit, more advanced cooling technologies have been developed and implemented in the Shuttle XPC. Shuttle's industry-leading I.C.Evo heatpipe technology delivers efficient cooling and is exceptionally quiet.

New Vapor Chamber + Heatpipe Technology

The vaporizing chamber is utilized as cooler base witch is similar to the thermal tubes operating principle. The thermal resistance of vapor chamber is twice lower than in usual base. At low fan speed this technology reduces the CPU temperature by 5~7°C.

PCI-Express V2.0 for high-performance graphics cards

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 is equipped with one PCI-Express x16

Version 2.0 slot delivering a bandwidth of up to 16GB/s, twice the speed of PCI-E 1.0, thus providing plenty of potential for the newest graphics cards. It is downward compatible, allowing use for most of the present graphics cards as well.

Supports large dualslot graphics cards

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 surpports large dual-slot graphics cards like ATI Radeon HD4870 or NVIDIA Geforce GTX280 which occupy two slots. Please note, that in this case you cannot use the second slot for another expansion card.

Supports two PCI Express x16 graphics cards

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 Deluxe supports two slots PCI Express x16 Version 2.0 delivers up to 16GB/s bandwidth per port, double that of PCIe 1.0, ensuring plenty of bandwidth for future graphics cards.

Two graphics cards can be used to enable 4-monitor-operating or ATI

CrossFireX™/ NVIDIA SLI *** mode for leading-edge gaming performance.

Supports up to 16GB of DDR3 memory

This Shuttle XPC supports up to 16GB DDR3 memory which is ideal for workstations powered by 64-bit operating systems, enabling users to take full advantage of high-performance configurations.

Product Specification

500W power supply with 80 PLUS BRONZE logo

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 is equipped with a rock stable 500W power supply which has been tested with the latest graphics cards and powerful Core i7 processors. Its 80 Plus Bronze logo indicates that it provides more than 82/85/82% energy efficiency at 20/50/100% of rated load which reduces energy consumption and increases the computers reliability.

New Era of All-Solid Capacitor Shuttle Mainboards

By using all-solid capacitors Shuttle mainboards provide industry leading stability, reliability and longevity for PC gaming and entertainment systems. The average lifespan for a solid capacitor is more than six times greater than the more common and less expensive electrolytic capacitors.

External Serial ATA ports on front and back panel

In addition to the two eSATA ports at the back panel, the SX58H7 also comes with one eSATA at the front panel for plugging in high-speed external hard-drives. The eSATA interface is up to three times faster than the USB 2.0 standard.

Supports RAID functionality

This Shuttle XPC features several internal and external Serial ATA connectors which also support the high performance RAID functions level 0, 1, 5 and 0+1. It is the ideal solution to enhance hard disk performance and data back up protection without the cost of add-on cards.

Dual eSATA with External Power

The back panel provides two external Serial ATA ports and a power port. The included cables make it a snap to connect two external hard drive to your XPC. The Serial ATA interface is up to six times faster than

USB 2.0/Firewire.

Dual Gigabit LAN with Teaming Support

This XPC features even two high-speed Gigabit LAN ports. The teaming function allows you to group both available network adapters together to function as a single adapter - a method of creating a virtual LAN.

The benefit of this approach is that it enables load balancing and failover.

*) Overclocking Warning: Please note there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting the setting in the BIOS or using third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system stability or even cause damage of the components and devices of your system. It is done at your own risk and expense. Shuttle cannot be held responsible for possible damage caused by overclocking.
