Cryo Velox

Based on the Cryo Extreme but with water cooling applied and some key component upgrades for even faster CPU, Memory and Graphics speeds. This is achieved with the aid of water cooling on all important parts of the machine. This is the fastest single Core i7 processor system available.

The Cryo Velox takes the technology and performance of the new Sandy Bridge E i7 six core processor to the max and beyond. This is a PC for those who are looking for an absolute no compromise performance, a machine with real pedigree that will benchmark in the very top tier of scores. With the Intel Core i7 3960X its now capable of clock speeds in excess of 5GHz!

It just isn't technically possible to get this much performance without very efficient and effective water cooling so we include this in the price. The Cryo Velox is the choice for emerging power hungry games, simulations and graphical and mathematical modelling. You can rest assured no standard PC will match the performance of this machine for a number of years to come. Pictured right is the Velox with Phase Change sub-zero (-50C) cooling fitted underneath for the ultimate in high performance computing.

Cryo Advantage - The Cryo Velox X79 continues the pedigree of the Core 2 version of the Cryo Velox in providing a high-performance custom built pc for professionals or gaming.

Leading Edge Technology - The Intel Core i7 processors bring the unmatched power of up to six processing cores and HyperThreading together creating effectively twelve threads of concurrent execution capacity.

Extreme Cooling - All this power and additional circuitry on the one CPU comes at a high price in terms of heat produced and power consumed. The Velox accommodates this with even at the entry level enhanced Extreme Water cooling to quietly and efficiently cool the processor. The triple radiator is mounted in the top of the case and cooled through three 120mm blow holes. The half inch, high flow, high pressure pumped water loop ensures all vital components stay cool. If additional graphics cards are selected its possible to add an additional heat exchanger (i.e. a requirement for high heat output of Dual nVidia SLI cards).

High Performance Graphics - Crossfire or SLI - Both nVidia and ATI are offering compelling and powerful graphics solutions and the Velox comes standard with the world’s fastest graphics options from both nVidia and AMD.

64-bit Ready - Already the 4GB limit imposed by 32-bit operating systems is looking very limiting especially considering your 1-2GB graphics card effectively halves what might be available.	Large Screen and High resolution support - To appreciate the power of the Velox you really need to see it on a large, fast, bright, high contrast monitor with accurate colour representation.
Storage - Hard drives - The Velox's options allow you to flexibly choose whether you want a high performance (in excess of 400MB/s sustained read transfer rates) or high capacity (over 8TB) storage subsystem, or both. Our recommendation is to go for two storage volumes and setup one as a 'System' for Windows and the other as a 'Data' and applications the options we've provided reflect this.	Memory Performance - The Velox has 8GB of dual channel DDR3 1600MHz low latency memory as standard. With options for record breaking memory speeds in excess of 2100MHz.
Soundcard and Optical drives - To experience that fully immersive and realistic experience 7.1 high definition surround sound is essential from the incredible Xonar D2X sound card installed.
