Foxconn H55MX-S Motherboard 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.

We are using a 720P 1.1gb MKV file today at 43 minutes, 28 seconds in length. We are converting to a final output for an Apple iPhone 4, a real world situation facing many people.  For our audio conversion tests, we are using a 15 track album from MP3 to M4A format.

Both of these tests showcase the CPU processing performance of the system and are impressive for an i5-based system.  It's a shame we couldn't achieve a decent overclock with this system as these scores would benefit greatly.

  1. Yeah that doesnt look to be that good. the board layout, sata ports etc are badly designed. Fair score.

  2. I dont think overclocking is that big a deal on a product like this, but there are weaknesses in quite a few other areas which are well noted.

  3. Seems ok for a basic media center, but the pricing is putting it against better products.

  4. Foxconn make a lot of products for other companies but this isn’t one of their best, thats a cert.

  5. Poor value for money for such a stripped out board.

  6. If they dropped the price to 50 quid then it would make more sense.

  7. The bios needs an overhaul. its silly for them to offer overclocking in software and not in the bios.

  8. This harware is OK for a media PC because you don’t need Sandy Bridge? What about transcoding? A media PC needs Sandy Bridge the most, for transcoding and reduced power dissipation. HD media streaming is actually very challenging for hardware.

  9. aaaah i cant make my xfx 5830 work on this motherboard, my graphic card is fine id tested on my friend motherboard and it work perfect, i hate this motherboard

  10. what bios version is used on this test?
