Audio

We recommend to connect your STEIGER DYNAMICS HTPC via HDMI through the Audio/Video Receiver (AVR) to the TV. This allows the enjoyment of lossless bitstreamed HD Audio®, Dolby TrueHD™, Dolby ATMOS, DTS Master Audio, and DTS:X (7.1 or higher, also possible with DVI or DisplayPort). Alternative ways include a direct connection to the TV or to any external Audio system (native 5.1/upmixed 7.1 surround sound via optical S/PDIF or analog audio jack (to RCA)). We also offer additional dedicated sound cards for high-end analog or studio usage. Switching between sound outputs can be done in Windows or in supported players. We recommend:
- Included 7.1 Dolby TrueHD / dts-HD lossless bitstreamed digital surround sound via HDMI (or DVI / DP) for gaming and entertainment enthusiasts
- EVGA NU Audio 2.1 (analog) / 5.1 (optical S/PDIF) with AK4493 DAC, Headphone Amp (16-600ohm), 123dB SNR, up to 384kHz, 32bit playback, switchable OP-AMPs, line/mic-in (up to 384kHz, 32bit, 121dB SNR recording)

M.2 SSD Storage

Additional M.2 SSDs can be used for storage.

2.5" Storage

SSD and HDD Storage Drives store all your music, movie libraries, & TV recordings and backup your personal data from the SSD System Drive(s). We recommend SSDs for media editing/encoding (SSDs are 100% quiet and up to 5x faster than HDDs).

3.5" Storage HDD

We recommend HDDs for large movie/music libraries (WD Red drives are silent, power efficient, cool, and hence ideal for 24/7 media servers; 1 TB = 100 Full HD movies or 300k MP3s).

Storage Drive RAID

Storage Spaces is a Windows integrated software RAID solution. Resiliency configuration options require two or more storage drives. If your preferred configuration option is not listed below, please request it in the comment field at the bottom of this page.
- Parity with 3 or 4 drives: Protects against 1 drive failure. Total capacity 67%
- Mirror with 2 drives: Protects against 1 drive failure. Total capacity 50%
- Mirror with 4 drives: Protects against 2 simultaneous drive failures. Total capacity 50%

Power Supply

All our Power Supply Units (PSU) operate from 110-240V and can be used worldwide. All PSUs are inaudible during idle and low system loads. PSUs with higher output capacity stay cooler, more efficient and more silent on high system loads. Gold PSUs feature a minimum efficiency of 90% and Platinum PSUs of 92%. We recommend:
- Seasonic 1000/1050 Watt PSUs for system configurations with two graphics cards or one TITAN Z
- Seasonic 1200/1250 Watt PSUs for system configurations with three graphics cards
- EVGA 1600 Watt PSUs for system configurations with three graphics cards or two TITAN Z

CPU Cooling

All our systems feature liquid cooling solutions which dissipate heat extremely efficiently. We solely use fans with high-precision ball bearings and a radiator-optimized blade design. The fan speed is variable depending on system temperatures. This allows for the highest cooling performance, while making our systems ultra-silent. We recommend:
- 120 mm 1" thick pre-sealed Liquid Cooling for maintenance-free operation, easy upgradability, configurations with up to three graphics card
- 120 mm 1.5" thick pre-sealed Liquid Cooling for maintenance-free operation, easy upgradability, configurations with up to three graphics cards, recommended for i7 CPUs
- 240 mm 1" thick pre-sealed Liquid Cooling for maintenance-free operation, easy upgradability, configurations with up to two graphics cards, recommended for i7 CPUs
- LEET Custom Liquid Cooling for ultimate silent operation, aesthetics, configurations with up to two graphics cards
Our custom liquid cooling solution was developed with Swiftech, leading manufacturer for advanced cooling components. It comprises a combined pump/CPU block and custom single- & dual-radiators with integrated reservoir.
