Shuttle XPC Cube SH370R6V2 Mini Barebone PC Intel H370 Supports 95W Coffee Lake CPU No RAM No HDD/SSD No CPU No OS 300W PSU

Update 3/10/2016All problem fixed with new BIOS 1.25 dated 2/2/2016.Erik at Shuttle USA help minor screw problem and send replace by Fedex.I change rate to 4. Thanks!Below is old post____________I never write reviews but I should share almost 2 month experience with this.I got this SH170R6 last year end and replace two times and I just return final 3rd one to refund.It was tested with i7-6700K, i7-6700, i5-6600, i3-6400 and 8, 16, 32GB with various DDR4. Also inboard Intel HD 530 and Nvidia 970 4G.So far this Shuttle is only small PC accept 4 desktop type DDR4 go maximum 64GB. And spec is very good.My case It is OK, it will not OC as H170 chipset. All as looks as Shuttle quality excepts plastic CPU cooler holder.But unexpected frequent irregular screen and system freezing is bad situation.BIOS update not fix that and update drivers not fix also. It must be some problems on this barebone itself.As Intel recommend I did CPU testing all my CPUs pass.And all components move to MSI Nightrider X2, MI2 and X170 MSI mini ITX Board which all works without any system freezing.I waste $ & hours and left CRDOM, RAM, USB/COM addon, 500W PSU,Wifi card and Antenna,That I realize on some other barebones come with as builtin. I original plan was just one nice one but and up 4 Skylake PC and one set of 6700K/32G/2TSSD shopping to house. All start with this XPC SH170R6, it wake up my bad barebone assembly hobby.I still run 17+ year old Shuttle XPCs with Windows XP for my job tools which only run on XP drivers. Durable no problems on so many years.Shuttle will fix problems on this production of model soon but it cools down my trust on Shuttle brand. I hope up coming SZ170R8 should good one to put back most of part except new LG CDROM.Amazon service is great, return replace twice. And wait to see final return will refund. Return will delivery Las Vegas return center today.Unlike other return this not refund on UPS pickup scan, so curiously watching how it handles. But I do not worry, in case mess, friendly Amazon customer service 888-280-3321 will help.Update 3/1/2016Shuttle US response, I give my DDR4 list for make sure this system's specific problem exist.I am plan to get one to check new 1.25 BIOS update solve my problems. I make one more star for effort of customer service.Amazon refund I have call to get refund, It is always make them confuse with replacement. Now on I must not to accept replacement, always place as one new order. Service person is nice but first person promise to full refund but deduct two times restocking fee which never mentioned. Second person fix that. I did spend good two phone call to do get refund. Nice service personal but a training and system pinhole.

I am trying really hard to like this computer. Right now I have an i7-6700K and 16GB G.Skill 2400 SDRAM in it (I know the K-processor is overkill, but I wanted an i7 and the 6700K runs stock at 4.0GHz which is important for my applications). This is a beautifully designed computer and provides everything except a large power supply for running a high end GPU board in it. For my applications, the Intel graphics in the Skylake i& are more than enough (no game playing here). I've put in a Samsung 500GB M2 card, a 1TB SSD, and a 2TB HDD, and everything hardware-wise works well. When the box is operating properly everything flies, and the M2 performance is the best I've seen in a Skylake system (I've built 3 including this one). The problem is that it doesn't often operate correctly. I have had two of them purchased from Amazon. The first one came DOA, in that neither the Display Port or HDMI connectors supplied any video, at all, to the monitor. The one Amazon sent as a replacement has this video flashing problem that is intermittent. The computer sometimes stops sending video to the monitor (causing the monitor to flash a box saying it isn't receiving video). It does this video flashing for about two minutes after turning it on. Then it settles down for about 10-15 min then gives one prolonged flash. After that a flash will occur intermittently, sometimes after hours of correct operation. In several troubleshooting sessions (totaling over 6 hrs), I determined that the computer functioned properly with only one SDRAM stick in it, and it didn't matter which of the sticks, and which Blue slot it was in. Putting the second stick in caused the flashing to reoccur. I ordered a second pair of RAM sticks from Amazon and they arrived yesterday. After putting the new sticks in the flashing still occurs on startup, and there is a flash after about 15 min, and then it settles down and I've used it for as long as two hrs without a flash. However, even when I convince myself that it has fixed itself, a flash does eventually reoccur. I'm considering sending the second box back and replacing it again, but I've decided to play with it for a couple weeks to see how tolerable the problem is. As I said, I love the build and I want it to work like all the Shuttles I've built in the past work. I'll keep updating this review as I try to get this resolved. If it weren't for the flashing video, I'd give this box 10 stars out of five. As it sits now, one star is generous.-----------Update 7/23/2017: I have been using this computer in my home office now for over a year. I am changing my overall review from one-stat to five-stars. Since it returned from Shuttle repair, it has functioned flawlessly. This is a zippy little computer. It is almost dead silent. It sits atop my desk, about 2 ft from my head and when the central AC is off, I can barely hear the fan. I was an early adopter of this computer, and it is probable that Shuttle didn't have all the bugs out on the early units. I would definitely buy this again if the current one dies for any reason.

I only needed the Z270 motherboard but I actualy like the whole design. Some people online have complained that the cooling is inadequate, but I removed the drive bay and put the power supply outside the case, and the temperature is fine even in a warm room: 33° C surfing the web and 43° C under load (video editing). A limitation of the design is the size of the GPU that can fit inside, but if necessary you can connect a big GPU outside the case using a riser.

I have owned SG31G2 for like 10 years and served me well.. upgraded to this SH370R6 V2 and the quality, fit and finish is outstanding...

Ich habe den Barbone als Shuttle-Fan bestellt, weil mich u.a. die Ausstattung, 8 x USB 3.0 und Einsatz der neusten Generation Intel Prozessoren und die Möglichkeiten der Aufrüstung, 4 Speicherbänke für bis zu 64 GB RAM und Nutzung der neuesten Intel HD 530 Garfik, interessierten.Meine Begeisterung wurde jedoch enttäuscht, als ich begann den Shuttle zu installieren. Von der Verarbeitungsqualität früherer Modelle hat sich Shuttle weit entfernt.Bei meinem SG31G2 und dem SH6 H3 wurde das Kühlsystem mit Heatpipe-Technologie noch solide mit Schrauben befestigt, die jetzt wohl dem Rotstift zum Opfer gefallen sind. und man hat stattdessen ein sehr dubiose Plastikbefestigung gewählt,Diese Maßnahme und auch der bisherige, besonders beim SG31G2, wertige Innenaufbau des Shuttle ist nicht mehr gegeben.Hier ist besonders die billige Abdeckung der Frontschächte mit wackligen Plastikteilen zu bemängeln.Bei der Lautheit der Lüfter ist sich Shuttle dagegen treu geblieben, diese sind immer noch laut.Insgesamt bin ich von dem Shuttle enttäuscht und es wird definitiv mein letzter PC aus diesem Hause sein.

Der Barebone kam gut verpackt an.Hab ihn bestückt mit einem Core-i7 , 16GB DDR-3 RAM , 256ér SSD ; SATA-Platte 1TBDie Montage verlief problemlos, Wärmeleitpaste ist im Lieferumfang.Der Lüfter läuft mit "normalem" Geräusch und dreht auch nicht weiter hoch unter Last, z.B. bei Videobearbeitung.Wenn man im Betrieb die Headpipe zum Lüfter anfasst, ist diese kühl.Einziges Manko wäre vielleicht das etwas alt aussehende BIOSUnd auch bei der Installation von Windows 10 NICHT das BIOS auf UEFI umstellen - sondern auf Legacy lassen, sonst bootet der Barebone nicht, warum auch immer. Weiterhin ist kein Netzschalter vorhanden , also an Steckdosenleiste mit Schalter snschließen.Im Betrieb läuft das Gerät super flott und stabil ohne Probleme.Für einen kleinen Desktop PC mit Multimedia ist das Teil sehr gut geeignet.

Das ist mein Nachfoger für ein vorhandenes Shuttle System und ich bin begeistert.Klein, schick, schnell und leise!Thats's the way I like it....
