Gigabyte E350N-USB 3 Review

CyberLink MediaEspresso 6 is the successor to CyberLink MediaShow Espresso 5.5. With its further optimized CPU/GPU-acceleration, MediaEspresso is an even faster way to convert not only your video but also your music and image files between a wide range of popular formats.

Now you can easily playback and display your favourite movies, songs and photos not just on your on your mobile phone, iPad, PSP, Xbox, or Youtube and Facebook channels but also on the newly launched iPhone 4. Compile, convert and enjoy images and songs on any of your computing devices and enhance your videos with CyberLink’s built-in TrueTheater Technology.

New and Improved Features

  • Ultra Fast Media Conversion – With support from the Intel Core i-Series processor family, ATI Stream & NVIDIA CUDA, MediaEspresso’s Batch-Conversion function enables multiple files to be transcoded simultaneously.
  • Smart Detect Technology – MediaEspresso 6 automatically detects the type of portable device connected to the PC and selects the best multimedia profile to begin the conversion without the need for user’s intervention.
  • Direct Sync to Portable Devices – Video, audio and image files can be transferred in a few easy steps to mobile phones including those from Acer, BlackBerry, HTC, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and Palm, as well as Sony Walkman and PSP devices.
  • Enhanced Video Quality – CyberLink TrueTheater Denoise and Lighting enables the enhancement of video quality through optical noise filters and automatic brightness adjustment.
  • Video, Music and Image File Conversion – Convert not only videos to popular formats such as AVI, MPEG, MKV, H.264/AVC, and FLV at the click of a button, but also images such as JPEG and PNG and music files like WMA, MP3 and M4A.
  • Online Sharing – Conversion to video formats used by popular social networking websites and a direct upload feature means posting videos to Facebook and YouTube has never been easier.

For our testing today we are converting a 3.3GB 720p MKV file (2h:12mins) to Apple Mp4 format for playback on a portable device. This is a common procedure for many people and will give a good indication of system power. We are focusing on the CPU efficiency with this test.

Gigabyte's E350N USB 3 delivers the best results in this benchmark, 5 minutes faster than the last generation AMD X64 X2 L510 and 7 minutes faster than the Atom D525.

  1. I keep meaning to pick one of these up, but I think ill opt for the passively cooled asus model,. seems a better long term option. no fans, always a good thing

  2. Are there any other passively cooled fusion boards out? that asus board is great, but its a small fortune. surely some other company has a passive one out at less money? its hard to even get stock here at all.

  3. IT has to be passive for me if I was getting one, and the only one ive seen is ASUS, who used a massive cooler over the whole PCB basically…….

  4. Im waiting for their quad core designs, these are rather boring, just like a better Atom. good idea, but I need more power,e ven for media system

  5. I like thier motherboards, but passive would have been a better option. I would love to know what the temps would increase to if the fan was disabled inside a decent cooled case? possible ?

  6. Those boards looks nice as a “mom” / grandparents PC…

  7. Hmm putting more of these pages together would help .. also def compare it to an atom/ion system. I do like this for both a Future HTPC and NAS. Just have to get a Freeview HD tuner, and 3 x3.5 hd and a nice case, one that wont revolt my eyes every time I look at it. Do they have full Mythbuntu drivers? resume from s1,s2.s3 properly? If so I’m set.
