Removing the cases left side panel reveals a good attempt at routing the system data and power cables in such a way as to make it easy to slide the side panel on and off, the cables are well secured out of the way.
If you do need to use any of the spare connectors it is easy to get them lose.
Removing the cases side panel reveals the guts of the system, cable managment is extremely tidy indeed with great care taken to use as many of the grommetted cable mangament holes as possible to route the cables in the neatest way possible, we are extremely impresed by the care taken to do this this right.
The choice of components is excellent, built around the Intel Haswell i5 4670K CPU running at 4.4GHz when required and still downclocking it self when not.
Gigabyte is the choice of motherboard with a Z87-D3HP motherboard which looks fantastic with its matt black PCB and surface mounted parts at the heart of the system. A unique feature of Gigabyte motherboards is DualBIOS which is a safety feature that provides a backup BIOS chip should the main chip falter
The innards are dominated by the HIS HD7950 Boost GFX card with its IceQ cooler which exhausts hot air directly out of the rear of the case helping to keep the internal temperatures down. This card has a core clock of 850MHz and a boost clock of 925MHz Boost, the GDDR5 3GB memory on this card also runs at a fast speed of 5Ghz help this system to achieve good frame rates in games while keeping the in game settings at their highest.
The Akasa Nero3 CPU cooler is an extremely quiet cooler and this reviewer could not hear it at all while using the system on a daily basis.
The Corsair GS600 PSU is another quality component and has a hybrid fan control that keeps the fan stationary when the system is not stressed, this helps also promote the systems quiet operation.
8GB of Patriot RAM running at 1866MHz with tight timings is provided for the system to feed upon.
The storage setup consists of a Samsung 840 basic SSD which runs the OS and has enough free space left over to install a useful amount of games and applications.
A Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM Hard Disk Drive accompanies the SSD as a general storage drive for the rest of your programs and data.
Overall the OcUK Titan Scythe has a great choice of parts all designed to make the most out of a well thought out and designed system.
