I need Windows to use with DVBViewer. I only want a fanless motherboard with 5 SATA, I don't need HDMI or a lot of power. Maybe a ASRock AD2550R/U3S3 is a good idea, with 7 SATA+1 e-SATA and mini-itx (but too expensive, 160€).

Why not an HSW Celeron like http://geizhals.de/intel-celeron-g1820-b...95560.html on http://geizhals.de/asrock-b85m-gl-90-mxg...53890.html
With the right CPU Cooler you can easily run this CPU passive.

Anything Cedar Trail (D2500/2550/2700/etc.) is a bad idea because of the crappy video driver support.

I read more and I think that the minipci-e to sata (normal, not msata) adapter will work fine. For example: http://www.hwtools.net/Adapter/PM362.html



The adapter comes with JMB362 chip and is half size

Quote:This module allows you connect any two of SATA III devices to the PCI Express Gen2 mini card slot through standard SATA cable

Half size mPCIe module can be used in full size mPCIe slot with bundled metal baffle.

Review (chineese, use translator) with Asrock motherboard to expand the SATA numbers: http://rumatan7144.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-12.html

Customer review from amazon:

Quote:Purchased a Mini-ITX motherboard with onboard WiFi, which I didn't need. This fit perfectly and gave me two more SATA ports for storage devices.

Another one but full size: http://www.newegg.com/global/uk/Product/...6815158276

Nice find. I'd still put my boot drive on the motherboard's controller port 0 to avoid any potential issues.

When I watch TV I get stuttering and picture and sound doesn't match up. I can see the CPU is high.
I happens when I watch 720p video. When watching 1080i it's fine.
When I watch normal video 1080p files there's no problem whatsoever.
I'm using DSPlayer and LAV video.

My setup is: Intel Q1900-ITX.

In XBMC video I have:
Render method Pixel Shaders
decoding method: Software. Hardware Acceleration gives the same.

In LAV Video I have Intel Quicksync enabled.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I had no problem with watching TV with and old E350 Zacate, so I'm very surprised why I can't get it to work.

Anyone?
It can't be right It can't process 720p TV channels

This spec sheet has left me confused:

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product...id=4881#sp

I want to run one of these as a low power FreeNAS server.

It says that supported RAM is dual-channel.

I thought that the Bay Trail SoC memory controller only supported single channel. I'd rather use single channel, as I can pop in a cheap 4GB SODIMM and then add another cheap 4GB SODIMM when I can afford it, but if dual-channel is possible then I might be tempted to buy a matched pair. I think it's misleading.

Is 8GB also the maximum addressable space on this board, or Bay Trail in general?

Thanks to anyone that can clear this up.

Hi!

Today I received my Minipci-e to SATA (2 ports) and works perfectly. Only put in the minipci-e slot and that's it

Regards!

Neither boards would post. With no fans in the case or on the motherboard, I can't tell if the problem is electrical or physical. The power LED comes on, but there is no video output (tried VGA, HDMI, DVI)

I'm stumped. After many years of builds, this is the first time I haven't been able to troubleshoot the problem. Maybe power supply in the Antec case?

I have exactly this problem with the Q1900-ITX and have tried everything. Have 2 sticks of this Crucial RAM so it can't be that unless they are both dead/incompatible. Anything else I can do?

EDIT: PSU is 80W Pico. Light is on. HDD clicks so is spinning. DVB-T2 PCI card is warm.

Thanks.

Maybe it's because the PSU isn't Haswell ready? I have an ISK110 and only Problems with H81 Asrock when i activate c6 States.

Well it seems to power up in terms of HDD noise and heat. Standard Pico 80W PSU.

Try a different PSU (to test)? Does it do anything different if you try to power it up without any RAM?

No joy with a different PSU although haven't tried it with VGA cable. No difference without RAM or 1 stick or either/both slot(s) etc.

Real: HD 4000: 16 EU
HD 4000 Baytrail: 4 EU <- that sucks, even the GPU in the Celeron 847 is better.
HD 2500: 6 EU
HD 3000: 12 EU
HD 2000: 6 EU

Source: wikipedia + http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Betting-O...ed/?page=2 <- for the baytrail and yeah my personal measurments make that clear, too.

fritsch, have you already tried Baytrail Quadcore with Yadif and Lanczos3, like J1900? Maybe the Quad is powerful enough for this Job

Im afraid not -DDD-
Returned Q1900B-ITX need better graphics for scaling. Please help!
