Foxconn H55MX-S Motherboard Review

For as long as we can remember enthusiasts around the world have been keen to see how their systems perform with many commercially available benchmarks from such companies as Futuremark.

While these applications are extremely useful to a wide audience sometimes it can be helpful to focus on a ‘real world’ application which many of us use on an almost daily basis.

You can get the KitGuru Photoshop Benchmark 1(4) here. Please note lower times are better as this means less time is taken by the system to process the commands.

2. CMYK 1.9
3. RGB 2.1
4. Ink Outlines 36.6
5. Dust & Stratches 3.7

  1. Yeah that doesnt look to be that good. the board layout, sata ports etc are badly designed. Fair score.

  2. 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.

  3. Seems ok for a basic media center, but the pricing is putting it against better products.

  6. If they dropped the price to 50 quid then it would make more sense.

  7. The bios needs an overhaul. its silly for them to offer overclocking in software and not in the bios.

  8. 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.
