IWILL - IWill ZMAXdp Dual Opteron nForce3 250 SFF Preview

Performance is strong, I think we can conclude that much, so the rest of the discussion remains feature and integration led. Dual Opteron in small form factor works, and it works well. I’ve left off talking about the noise the system made while under heavy load until this conclusion, since it’s the noise I maybe was most impressed with. With low-power Opterons, CPU temperature never rose over 48C under load, and with a BIOS SmartFan threshold of 58C, the fans never made more than a half-hearted whisper. The ZMAXdp, with those CPUs, is nearly silent.

It’s disgustingly well engineered and it works incredibly well. Just think about the implications of all that performance in such a small box for a second or two. It stretches much further than being a nice toy for the well-heeled Photoshop addict.

You’ll know straight away if the ZMAXdp is for you, and be under no illusions about its ability to do what it sets out to do. Near-silent dual Opteron in a stylish, feature-packed small-form-factor chassis is that goal, and it absolutely hits the target.
