Ashley 1/28 First thanks very much for the jobs by www.itx.bg did for our products. Reference Link: http://www.itx.bg/bg/blog/itx-ng82-bg Remarks, Transalte from google, not exactly correct, just for reference, Ashley. ITX-NG82-presentation November 26, 2010, Friday 20:47:00 Europe / Budapest Today we will try to rectify an injustice and to present a late Mini-ITX motherboard designed for the so called HTPC or Media Center PC. It is a matter of interest not so much the size or price, how much of the fact that combined with the appropriate processor can be a real alternative to the combination Atom + ION as price and options. Below it will become clear what we mean, now let me introduce you to the very board. Specifications Socket AM2 + AMD Sempron / Athlon NEO / Athlon II X2/Phenom II X2 X3 CPU Support X4 processors 5200/MT/s Hyper Transport ™ 3.0 Bus with AM2 + / AM3 Supported FSB CPU; 2000/1600 MT / s Hyper Transport ™ 2.0 Bus with AM2 CPU Chipset nVIDIA MCP78S chipset Memory Type DDR2 SODIMM Number of memory slots / Max 2 slots / 4GB Supported Memory Integrated video Onboard GeForce 8200 DirectX 10 graphics Video outputs Analogov VGA, DVI, HDMI Audio codec Realtek ALC883 HD 7.1 audio channels Mezhova map Realtek 8111C, 1000Mbit LAN Expansion slots PCI slot Number S-ata ports 4 ports with support for RAID IDE (ATA) ports 1 USB ports (rear panel + extension) 4 +2 PS2 ports 2 ports Number of RS232 (COM) ports 1 port LPT (Parallel) port No Power Connector ATX Size Mini-ITX Packaging and content

Ashley 2/28 ITX - NG 82 is available in two pack sizes - Retail Box (carton) or Bulk (volume saving draft package). At the time of writing the show we had a retail package. The box itself would hardly attract attention, but here it is a industrial manufacturer, but typically these companies often rely on glossy and colorful packaging. Standard includes: instruction, CD with drivers for 1pc. IDE and Sata cables and the rear lamarinka panel.Platkata is implemented in standard green. Lack shareniykite with which we are accustomed to indulge our other manufacturers, but all other things like quality of construction and components used make the ITX-NG82 comparable rather high class boards o prominent manufacturers.

Ashley 3/28 Only the solid capacitors. Ferrite Core Choke, help to reduce the amount of electric energy losses in power phase of the processor and the latest generation of Japanese (NEC) MOSFET transistors with low resistance state opening, ensure lower levels of secreted heat for long work.

Ashley 4/28 There must, however, to make a statement. Although a board may be very well done, sometimes the correct and consistent performance are important box, power supply and cooling, either passively or with a fan. Maybe that's why proizoditelya judged it necessary to put aluminum radiator part of the transistors around the CPU socket. Due to limited space available processor power is met by 4 phase diagram and processors are supported by up to 65W TDP. This is not a big problem because the market has enough suitable processors. In fact, the majority meet that requirement. According to the specifications supported socket AM2 and AM2 + processors, but we managed to check and work with AM3 CPUs as well know that the three sockets are physically and electrically compatible. In addition, for backward compatibility of AMD are left in DDR2 support AM3 processors. The results will be discussed below. When designing the board has chosen it to be confronted with Sodimm memory slots to save space. With this solution the memory slots are

Ashley 5/28 two. On one hand, leads to retention of Dual Channel functionality of the board (increase productivity) and the other allowing support of up to 4Gb of RAM. The ability to put 4Gb of RAM is a big plus, because the increase in RAM if need is easy and reflects very favorably on the speed of each computer. Many Mini-ITX boards have only one memory slot. We tested the board with 2 and 4Gb memory. We should note that the integrated graphics memory allocated by the needs of the graphic subsystem. Volume is selected manually or automatically by the BIOS menu, as the maximum possible size is 512Mb. To include hard drives and optical drives board has 1pc. ATA 133 connector, 4 pcs. S-ata II 3GB / s with support for RAID 0,1,5,10, JBOD. This is more than sufficient for the needs of HTPC since starting boxes suitable for this are small and do not offer much room for hard drives. However, if you except for watching movies to use BitTorrent client system or file server, the possibility of more disks and RAID will be your very useful. Power is through a standard 24 pin ATX connector and 4 pin 12V moleks. Due to the small space in the Mini-ITX boxes sometimes require additional cooling. This will be difficult for ITX-NG82, because it is the extra three pin connector for the second fan.

Ashley 6/28 Network connectivity of ITX-NG82 osashtesvena is a gigabit controller of the company Realtek RTL8111C. Whether you use the board to the file server, torrent client, or simply as a media center / HTPC this is more than enough. Supports Boot from LAN. Monitoring of key system parameters such as temperature, voltage and fan speed are assigned to I / O controller chip company Winbond - W83627DHG. Furthermore, monitoring was carried out with him and one RS232 port. To add additional circuits provided PCI slot. And if that was not enough to enjoy 4pcs. USB on the rear panel and one USB header on the motherboard itself to use more 2pcs. ports at the front of the box. All USB ports are fuse for short circuit protection. Volume is 7.1 channel and codec is Realtek ALC 883. Ask yourself what would become the transmission of eight channels in only three slots on the rear? It turned out that it is possible if we include in the game Front Audio connector, using

Ashley 7/28 the function "Connector Retasking" the audio driver enables to change the designation of a connector according to specific needs. So if need be submitted to the 8 channel receiver or home theater system from the rear three + one of the front windows. Opportunities for transmission of sound is not limited to this. The board has 2 pcs. RCA jacks, which transmit coaxial SPDIF. Addition, via HDMI interface can be transmitted with sound picture directly to a TV or monitor. Speaking to contact displays should also mention that the board also has DVI and VGA outputs, while maintaining working with two displays simultaneously. Under the radiator is located one-chip integrated chipset Nvidia MCP78S. For it can be said that the latest Nvidia chipsets for AMD processors with integrated video and the first with a Geforce 8200 graphics card supports DirectX 10.

Ashley 8/28 Besides improved graphics performance and availability of integrated HDMI interface, it supports hardware accelerated playback of HD video content. While for smooth DVD playback software is sufficient 400 MHz processor for advanced Full HD (1920x1080) video formats is needed at least 2.4 GHz. One of the goals of modern graphics technology to offload the CPU of this burden and make this task less dependent on him. Thus eliminating the need for rapid and energy-efficient processor for simple tasks such as decoding and playback. This is one of the reasons for the popularity and especially large share of the combination of Intel Atom processor and chipset Nvidia ION. Since MCP78S is predecessor of ION could not be much different as functionality and energy, but there is a substantial difference which gives him an advantage in some respects. In this case, the best advantage of ITX-NG82 e opportunity to change the performance using different processors. For the purposes of this presentation did tests with

Ashley 9/28 several types of processors. Before we begin with the results let us say a few words on BIOS-and the board. BIOS ITX-NG 82 uses AMI Bios. Menus do not differ much from those of other boards. Typical for this producer are detailed menus and extensive configuration options. User has complete control over almost everything. Many energy saving features may be prohibited, permitted or adjusted. It is possible manually setting the frequency and timing of memory. Aside for video graphics memory can be increased in steps up to 512Mb. There is an option for manual adjustment of voltage and CPU multiplier. It would be useful for Downclock processor to reduce its consumption and separation from his heat. Missing the opportunity to Overclock. As mentioned, we tested the board with several processors. In the samples we included even unsupported AM3 processor in this trinuclear. It turns out that board leaves seamlessly with 95 watt Athlon II X3 425. Even managed to install its operating system, but the system was not stable under load. Sempron 140 was even listed as Unknown CPU on POST, but as you will see your test works quite decently. There are no problems with recognition and operation of the Athlon II 240/245/250, and Athlon NEO 6850e. Gallery POST screen Athlon II X3 425 System Overview and System Information
