Shuttle SH55J2 and SX58J3

Now that the Shuttle “J” series has been out for awhile, I’d like to clear up some confusion regarding the SH55J2 and SX58J3 models.

Question: Can you put a 6-core processor in the SH55J2?
Answer: A 6-core processor will not work in that model, only the SX58J3 model.
The i7 Extreme 6-core has to run on a pc with the X58 chipset.

Now with that being said, as I said in an earlier post, the new Shuttle “J” series models now have the ability to change the motherboard to any Brand or Model of M-ITX you’d like. So technically, you could put an X58 motherboard in a SH55J2 model case but, you would want to also upgrade the power supply to accommodate the additional power requirements. The i7 970 (6-core) has a max TDP of 130 watts.
The stock motherboard in the SH55J2 uses the H55 chipset with a max TDP of 95 watts.

In this builders opinion, having the ability to use any M-ITX motherboard, is one of the best changes Shuttle has made.

If I can answer any other questions you might have regarding the Shuttle “J” series models, please post them here in the comments section.

Price released for the Shuttle SH55J2

The highly anticipated Shuttle SH55J2, the last of the New “J” Series will be released shortly with a price tag of only $234.99.
Considering this SFF will take a Intel Core i7, i5 or i3 processor (Socket LGA1156) and up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory. It also has the I.C.E. cooling system to keep all the components running cool and stable.
It’ll make a powerful Home Entertainment PC.

Shuttle SG41J1-Entry level J series

The Entry level J series - SG41J1

The Shuttle SG41J1 is housed in the new “J1” chassis, designed for everyday home and office use. It is based on the Intel(R) G41 chipset, capable of processing power up to Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad processor and ready for everyday entertainment with on-board Intel(R) X4500 graphics. It even includes a customizable front, for virtually endless design and decor possibilities for home users and business users alike.

The new “J series” is more flexible

Mini-itx Motherboard Support
Shuttle expands the capabilities of its chassis, adding support for Mini-ITX motherboards (170x170mm or 6.7 x 6.7 inches). Now, for the first time, the Shuttle chassis can go beyond the Shuttle motherboard, so you can easily upgrade or downgrade the motherboard to your desire, without any modification to the chassis.

Roomier Interior
Shuttle kept the concept of “future proofing” in mind when it designed the new J Series. The meticulously designed layout features an interior cable management system with pre-installed cables that are routed and tied down at factory to reduce clutter, increase airflow, and ease component installation. With the space-efficient design, the new chassis is as roomy as it gets, maximizing the headroom for enthusiasts and power users to upgrade to the latest graphics cards.

Tool-less drive installation
Shuttle has designed its chassis to make installation as quick and effortless as possible. Not only is the motherboard pre-installed and the cables pre-routed, no tools or brackets are required when installing a hard drive. The tool-less design here means easy access for any future maintenance and upgrades.
