M350 Race Machine
born from the idea of ​​creating a powerful device even in minimal space in order to compete in the "power density Challenge" we organized http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showthread.php?t=2421362
FEATURES
case M350
power supply Pico PSU 160w with power brick 150W
motherboard Asus F1A75-I Deluxe
processor AMD Llano a8 3850 TDP100 4core 2.9GHz
Ram G. Skill DDR3-2133MHz 4GB Ripjaws (2 X 2GB)
HDSSD Crucial M4 hdSSD 64gb
heathsink HSM 1U server gr843 with Scithe slim 100mm fan
CASE
Already known and appreciated by users
Built in rugged iron, is wide open to vents,
can 'only be equipped with pico power supply,
but lacks an uncomfortable position for the front usb and a complex
handle to remove the top, and also the aesthetic quality of
the front is really "poor" and it is here that I spoke with a mod
replacing the plastic piece with a handmade black acrylic 3 mm thick
with the inclusion of a lamptron switch and a USB output well available.
SIZE 62 X 200 X 192 tot 2380 cm3
before
after
POWER SUPPLY
minimum also has great features' and helps
significantly improve fuel economy. just beneath the HD
BOARD
Asus does not discuss ... but light and shadow. is a beautiful and well-
end provided with an endless series of utilities and a very detailed bios
It has a nice but difficult to use the remote control made for small fingers
Nothing to be said for all the drivers impeccable.
equipment of good standard with Bluetooth, wireless, and DisplayPort.
4 USB 2.0 and two 3.0
all at a significant cost
PROCESSOR
I'm glad I chose a 3850 Llano APU latest
generation of AMD APU,the computational power is similar to the
Intel 3 Series, but that as more graphics power
revealing itself as a viable solution for a PC, balanced in all its aspects.
here is all in the box
MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
to adapt this processor 100TDP to a small MITX system with a small heathsink
we need downvolt but here was the surprise so you can lower the vcore
up to 1,225 from 1,415, and that wasnt necessary to decrease the clock so no
sacrifice of performance.
At this point the best solution was the utility K10STAT small but efficient
that allows you to adjust the pstates switchables with different profiles
without going through the bios ... here are my three profiles
and now
CONSUMPTION with board default
idle 26 full 145
CONSUMPTION with K10STAT activated
idle 22 full 105
TEMPERATURES with board default
idle 32 full OUT
TEMPERATURES with K10STAT activated
idle 30 full 64
the average consumption is similar than the Intel 3-series solutions because 'the condition of full is rarely reached and the quad core is pretty quit and the fan is inaudible at idle 1200gm
default profile relationship with cpuid
now we move to HD SSD boot time and performance
3DMark Vantage card / processor to default
Here we are on the global values ​​of three times a Intel2100 and although not high in
could ever be a good value for a APU
we welcome your comments
