PC/workstation barebones Shuttle

XPC SX58J3 - Intel X58 Express + ICH10R, Socket 1366, 7.1-channel, 4xDDR3, 2PCIE (16X), 1394, USB2.0, SATA-RAID, 500W, 1x5,25"/2x3,5" High-speed sportster with breathtaking performance data
Fitted with CPU, memory, graphics card and drives, this Barebone offers nothing less than the fastest Mini-PC in the world today. The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58J3 owes its extreme performance to support from the "best Intel Desktop processors of all time", the Core i7 series. Two PCI-Express slots accommodate high-end graphics cards – with even large dual-slot models fitting with no problem. 16 GB DDR3 RAM can be installed in the four memory slots. There is also room for two hard disks and an optical drive inside the chassis. Uninterruptible connections are made possible thanks to two Gigabit network ports. The harmonious interaction of all components is ensured by an Intel X58 Express chipset, which easily caters for high-performance systems. The 80-PLUS-certified 500W power supply unit provides the necessary energy and the patented heatpipe cooling system guarantees maximum stability.

The new J chassis series: a clean and modern look
Shuttle has always placed great emphasis on the interior and exterior aesthetics of the XPC, with the belief that a good blend of style and form factor allows the Shuttle to be attractive, versatile, and work well in almost any environment - whether the living room, bedroom, or office. With the new J Series, Shuttle retains its trademark appearance and adds a clean, modern look to the front of the XPC. The new J3 Series will also be the first to bear the new XPC logo, featuring a striking "X" mark to signify the evolution of the XPC product line.

Based on new Intel Nahalem architecture
The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58J3 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 Intel Core i7 processors with Socket 1366
SX58J3 features Socket 1366 and supports the Intel® Core™ i7 processors which come with a native quad-core or six-core design, where all CPU cores sit on the same piece of silicon which share a massive level 3 cache. In addition, each core supports Hyperthreading which enables this processors process eight or twelve threads simultaneously, making it even more massively parallel and powerful than the current Core 2 Quad CPUs.

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.

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 Engine (I.C.E.)
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 Integrated Cooling Engine (I.C.E.) heatpipe technology delivers efficient cooling and is exceptionally quiet.

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.

500W power supply with 80 PLUS BRONZE logo
The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58J3 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.

Relatively low power consumption
Despite the amount of performance on offer, the SX58J3 does a good job of keeping power draw respectable. With Intel's 6-Core processor Core i7 980X at 3.33GHz, ATI Radeon HD5870, 6GB DDR3 RAM, DVD writer, SSD and Windows 7 it only consumes 101W in idle mode and 252W under full load.

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 eSATA port at the back panel, the SX58J3 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.

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.
