Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 – Special Product Features
New H7 chassis with enhance expansion ability
The new H7 chassis dimensions have grown slightly in contrast to the
previous G-Series adding various of welcome improvements to the
Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7. The larger power supply fan of 5cm in
size helps to cut down on noise level even more also providing a better
thermal efficiency for the entire system. The front panel sports an eSATA
port for instant access to an external hard disk. With a renewed
mainboard layout, the SX58H7 is capable of running dual-slot graphics
cards and up to four memory modules with a max. capacity of 16GB.

Based on new Intel Nahalem architecture
The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 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 new Intel Core i7 processors
SX58H7 is the first Shuttle XPC with the new Socket 1366 and supports
the Intel® Core™ i7 processors models 920, 940 and 965XE. These are
the first Intel processors which come with a native quad-core design,
where all four cores sit on the same piece of silicon which share a
massive 8MB level 3 cache. In addition, each core supports Hyper-
threading which enables this processors process eight 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.
