Finally, we take a look at in-game performance in Unreal Tournament 2004 Benchmark.

In-game performance is surely much faster with the Intel 3.2GHz due its huge MHz advantage over the 1.4GHz ZMax d2. This is on top of the fact that the ZMax runs slower ECC memory for rock stable operation.

In order to test out the stability of the system under continous load, we let it loop 3d Mark 05 for 8 hours. This was done in a typical warm Singapore ambient of 29 degrees celcius.

At the end of the test session, we were happy to see that the system was still looping 3D Mark. This proved its stability even with Dual Opterons and Dual 7800GTs all crammed inside a SFF! This proved heat and power were no issues on the fully configured ZMax d2. But still, we were very interested to find out how good the thermal management is on the ZMax d2.
