    Shuttle SZ77R5 Review

    Afraid I only had the machine for the review so have not been able to try the later Bios updates. The latest Shuttles will take a Mini PCI wifi card in an additional slot thus keeping the PCI-e slots free for the big Graphics card. I purchased mine on Ebay for £5 (UK) an RTL8188CE and...

    Shuttle XPC SZ68R5

    i'm wondering what port you have your monitor cable plugged into. Have you removed the monitor lead from the on board and used the same lead in the PCIe card? Sometimes if it cant see a monitor attatched it will revert to on board by default. Second point. Is there anything odd about the...

    Shuttle SZ77R5 Review

    I recall questioning myself as I wrote about the Dimm slots and negleted to go back and check. Oh well, if thats the only error then i'm happy LOL. No the photo shows the machines in a random order, more grouped on style that anything. No idea ref drivers and Win 8 as not used. I needed...

    Shuttle SZ77R5 Review

    The ICE changed from 80mm fan to 92mm fan at some point - the older shuttles have the 80mm. The latest power supplies are a big improvement both regards noise and reliability. The fan only gets audiable if under lots of load so if you use a good low power GPU it should always remain quiet...

    Shuttle SZ77R5 Review

    Not really ;) I picked most up for very little cost and just applied time to clean and repair as required. Most cost between £25 - £50... I got a couple for the cost of postage. I recon the whole collection cost me less than £1000 and this was built up over a couple of years so as hobbies go...

    Shuttle SZ77R5 Review

    I have 31 shuttles now and I think 28 are fully working and complete with components and windows licences. I have 1 thats an empty case and the other 2 have faulty motherboards which i'm looking to fix or replace sometime :) I hesitate to comment too much on noise as its so personal and if I...

    Shuttle SZ77R5 Review

    Can I just jump in as its my thread :). The shuttle is one option when thinking about SFF, its not to everyones taste. Some m-ITX solutions are smaller and do what they are built for, some people prefer one look to another. It is all down to personal preference. If thinking about SFF then...

    Shuttle SZ77R5 Review

    Finally got my hands on the latest Shuttle to review last week and have just published my review. The SZ77R5 is the third machine using the R5 chassis and this one is reviewed using the 3770K Ivy bridge and 2600K Sandy bridge. http://www.motormice.com/reviews/SZ77R5/ Hope you find it...

    Shuttle SZ77R5, any bios mods yet...?

    I agree. The fan works fine with a Sandy Bridge 2600K for me but with Ivy Bridge, as you say it just does not increase in speed on its own... I think it may have done at over 100c but below that it was stuck on its lowest setting.

    I don't use the locking ring on socket 1155 but it is required for socket 2011

    Need help w/ Shuttle

    the bios chip is easy to change, its a zero force socket which is excellent. You just have to ensure you get it the right way round as its symetrical. Make sure you note down which way round it goes before you take it out. If they are sending you a bios you can try flashing as you would be no...

    Shuttle XPC SZ68R5

    There are a couple of power settings under the multiplier adjustment. Put those as high as they will go. Think its 1000 on one and 800'ish on the other. That will help a bit. To get any more you need to unlock the Amps in the bios but this will only help for a short burst and then it will...
