Many people who have media systems will be familiar with the matroska (.mkv) file format which is often used for high definition video. In this test we will be using VLC Media Player to play both 720P and 1080P MKV files while recording CPU usage using Performance Monitor.
These results are quite impressive and show that this motherboard and CPU can handle 1080P content without breaking a sweat, making them perfect for a media system.
Yeah that doesnt look to be that good. the board layout, sata ports etc are badly designed. Fair score.
I dont think overclocking is that big a deal on a product like this, but there are weaknesses in quite a few other areas which are well noted.
Seems ok for a basic media center, but the pricing is putting it against better products.
Foxconn make a lot of products for other companies but this isn’t one of their best, thats a cert.
Poor value for money for such a stripped out board.
If they dropped the price to 50 quid then it would make more sense.
The bios needs an overhaul. its silly for them to offer overclocking in software and not in the bios.
This harware is OK for a media PC because you don’t need Sandy Bridge? What about transcoding? A media PC needs Sandy Bridge the most, for transcoding and reduced power dissipation. HD media streaming is actually very challenging for hardware.
aaaah i cant make my xfx 5830 work on this motherboard, my graphic card is fine id tested on my friend motherboard and it work perfect, i hate this motherboard
what bios version is used on this test?
