Mom Braswell Mini-ITX without a fan

 Seven were written at the beginning, and only three actually went on sale on June 6: microATX mother "N3150M" and Mini-ITX mother "N3150B-ITX" with Celeron N3150, and Mini-ITX mother "N3050B-ITX" with Celeron N3050. The microATX mother "N3050M" with Celeron N3050 was scheduled to go on sale that day, but it was later postponed to June 13. Equipped with the most advanced Pentium N3700 model, microATX/Mini-ITX mother is in the atmosphere of late June.

 In addition, there is also a "B" model without "N3150B-ITX". The main difference is that as a display output, the B model has only two systems such as mini D-Sub15 pin / HDMI. In contrast, the unmarked mini D-Sub15 pin / HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort has become an upper model with two additional pins. Sales have not yet been determined.

 What I got this time is the Mini-ITX mother "N3150B-ITX" carrying Celeron N3150. The main specifications are as follows:

 SoC is Celeron N3150 of Braswell. 4 cores, 4 threads, clock from 1.6GHz to 2.08GHz. The cache is 2MB and the SDP is 4W/TDP 6W. In terms of positioning, the Cherry Trail on Surface 3 is slightly higher than that of desktop laptops. The process rule is 14 nm. As can be seen from the photos, there are no fans.

 Memory is 2 DDR3/DDR3 L1600SO-DIMM, up to 16 GB. This time there is no microATX mother "N3150M" because the remaining memory in hand is 2GB × 2/DDR3-1600 SO-DIMM. "N3150M" will be DIMM, not SO-DIMM.

 Graphics built-in SoC Intel HD Graphics. Braswell (Cherry Trail also) has reached the eighth generation, the European Union number Celeron has increased to 12 Magi Pentium, the 4K/30fps decoding of 16 Magi H.265, the corresponding 4K coding of H.264, etc., are all being upgraded. The output is the mini D-Sub15 pin and HDMI. In addition, microATX's N3150M also has DVI.

 The interfaces are PS/2 × 2, SATA6 GB × 2, USB 3.0 × 4 (inner back x2), USB 2.0 × 6 (inner back x2), Gigabit Ethernet, 1 parallel port, 1 serial port, 1 TPM module header, 1 serial port header, 1 audio input / output. The audio level of ELNA is used in the capacitor of the voice system.

 The extension bus is PCI Express 2.0 x 1 × 1. The MicroATX mother "N3150M" is the same as PCI Express 2.0x16, which is x1 × 2. This is the part I don't mind, because it doesn't mean there's no extensibility, but it won't add any boards to this level of PC.

 The price is 10400 yen excluding tax at the Tsukumo computer store. The price varies somewhat depending on the store. If you have hands in boxes, memory and storage, about 10,000 yen on processors and mother machines is an easy range to try. I did it before I knew it.

 It should be noted that only 64bit version of Windows (Windows10 64bit/8.1 64bit/7 64bit) is the corresponding OS. Since more than 4 GB can be installed in memory, there seems to be no 32-bit version choice, but just in case.

 Mini-ITX occupies a small area and the processor is installed, so it is easy to use. Benchmark test and so on in the shantytown state, through the power supply and SSD, USB connection DVD driver for trial. Basically insert two pieces of memory and connect the power connector. The two power pins on the left side of the SATA connector in the lower left corner can be started by short circuit.

 The handheld preparation part is the power supply Seventeam ST-220FAB/24 (Flex-ATX200W) and the SSD is Intel SSDSA2MH080G1GC,2 GB/DDR3-1600SO-DIMM × 2. Power and SSD feel a little scarce (laughter), but because of the convenience of the case, if SSD is used formally in the test, it will be replaced with a new one. I repeat, the oldest result is the rest of the feeling. Although it is old-fashioned, it is faster than HDD and eMMC, so it is better.

 I published the picture of BIOS, please refer to it. In Advanced/CPU Configuration/Power Gear, you can choose Eco Mode/Normal Mode/Sport Mode, but there is not much difference in performance after trying.

 The case is nostalgic for Berborne,Windy Pandora. The investigation found that it was a computer from 14 years ago. Mini-ITX handheld this point, there is no special damage, there is no reason to discard, only replace the power unit to use, the production is often the favorite box.
