Dreded Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138448 Just thought id let others know of this cheap motherboard.. if you are like me and direct play everything but sometimes watch from a phone when out and about then this will handily transcode a single 1080p stream just tested transcoding 20Mbps to 8Mbps and had no issues.. the onboard SATA seems nice and fast(still need to do extensive testing) so far im quite happy with it, network performance also seems good. 1 Quote Link to comment
veezer Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Do you know what the idle power of this board is? Quote Link to comment
death.hilarious Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Interesting. I didn't know about this board. Seems it would make a decent pfsense box too, since it supports AES-NI. Might buy a couple, next time they're on sale. Quote Link to comment

My system has this board/cpu, 3 case fans, a 400 Watt PSU, 2 WD Red's, and 1 SSD and we Direct Play everything so thats more or less at Idle power usage with HD spun up. So doing some reasonable math the CPU/Board at idle uses 30 Watts Edited January 3, 2018 by Dreded Quote Link to comment
