Testing and Results.

Given that the interior and cooling features are identical to the Sugo SG03 we were expecting similar results from the SG04-H. However, to its disadvantage the SG04-H has a solid aluminium fascia panel which obstructs the intake from the single 120mm fan.

We used the same test kit throughout, which comprised of an MSI G41 motherboard armed with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 and a 4GB of 800MHz Corsair Dominator DDR2 memory. We used the GeForce GTX 280 largely due to it being notoriously toasty when under load, in order to see how we got on installing a full length card in the Sugo with it's sandwich-like proportions.

To stress the CPU we used Prime 95's small FFT test that puts both cores under full load, and to stress the GPU we used Futuremark's 3DMark06 with only the graphics tests selected. We looped them all for about one hour in an air conditioned lab that was set to a mild 24°C.
