NVIDIA GPU, Stunning Graphics
Performance
HORUS330 is installed with graphics card NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti allowing generate excellent resolution and supports high efficiency and fluency of image processing with competitive G3D Mark and low power consumption. The system possess great superiority for image computing utilization, including 2D/3D mapping and real-time image process for autonomous vehicle, surveillance system for control room, other navigation, radar, detection, sensor and laser systems on all maritime, ground, and aerial applications in both defense and industrial fields.
I/O Expansions
HORUS330 is designed to fulfill demands of different application. Apart from standard I/O interface, HORUS330 equipped with two I/O expansions at the back panel in order to have more flexibility and be more use-friendly. Which that offers user to customize additional function such as optional quad LAN port from MT321 Ethernet module, CAN Bus/GPS and 4 display output from NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti/GTX1050/GTX1060//RTX3000. With these expansions, HORUS330 can be easily applied to control room or driverless vehicles application.
19″rackmount bracket
The ability of keep HORUS330 inside cabinet is also an enhanced ways to keeping your server secure. Which S7STARLAKE has designed a 19”rackmount bracket allows HORUS330 place inside a cabinet in order to protect from climate issue, dust and pests attack.
CPU
The HORUS330 offers highly effectively heat conductive and heat convective thermal solutions to meet the demands of customers’ extended temperature requirements. The heat conductive solutions uses an aluminum flat mass to place in direct contact with the processor and chipset, the heat from chips then transfers it to the case of the system. In addition, the convective thermal solutions introduce airflow directed to move across the surface of a fin style heatsink placed on top of the processor and chipset. This can be done with the aid of an appropriately sized fan placed in top of the fin style heatsink. Alternately, enclosure airflow can be routed to flow across a fin style heatsink.

Thermal Measurement
STACKRACK provides real lab testing figures to show how CPU performance is with each tailor made thermal kits as important references and design guide for system engineers. For system integration, the crucial challenge is the operation performance under high temperature, thus STACKRACK conducts long time experiments to make sure the superior testing result for all critical missions. By revealing temperature at processor T junction, processor die and heat sink, STACKRACK is able to analyses the thermal solution we designed achieves maximum efficacy and observe CPU performance. The high temperature testing takes 5.5 hours which at each temperature point we burn in HORUS330 for two hour, from 50°C to 60°C.

Thermal Solution
Effective cooling solution for maximum heat dissipation:
- STACKRACK implements unique cooling solution with copper heat spreader, pure copper heat pipe and aluminum heat sink for maximum heat dissipation. With the aluminum heat sink enclosure allows dual-sided heat dissipation. We especially adopt the physical property of copper and aluminum, the heat spreader touches the heat source – processor and chipset and absorbs the heat rapidly, the heat then transfer to heat pipe; heat pipe is two-phase heat transfer involves the liquid-vapor phase change of a working fluid, the aluminum heat sink dissipates the heat into surrounding air promptly. With the benefits of fanless design, HORUS330 can ensure high reliability and stability while working under wide range temperature from -20°C up to 60°C.
Patent Designed Aluminum Heat Sink
The heat sink is made by heat radiating material, which is aim to lowering the temperature by dissipating heat into the surrounding air. 96 % of aluminum.
Heat spreader
Heat spreader directly touches the power source area, which can absorb heat rapidly and transfer to heat pipe and allow the high efficiency heat pipe further bring out heat to upper heat sink enclosure.
Pure Copper Heat Pipe
The heat pipes are embedded in the heat sink to ensure 100% tight integration for superior heat dissipation. Especially adopts U shape copper heat pipe to fulfill utmost thermal conductivity, copper heat pipe transfers heat from the heat sources (e.g. CPU, chipset) to the heat sink over relatively long distance. Two-phase heat transfer involves the liquid-vapor phase change of a working fluid.
