Many people who have media systems will be familiar with the Matroska (.mkv) file format which is often used for high definition video. In this test we will be using VLC Media Player to play a 1080P MKV file while recording CPU usage using Performance Monitor
The system maintains a very good average demand throughout our testing phase, averaging around 16 percent usage.

Decent motherboard. I doubt people buying one of these will want to overclock much anyway. no need with a media center.
I have this board, I didn’t get it overclocked at all and gave up. Its a good board though.
afternoon everyone all the best to yous for 2012

Cool review, one thing missing though! Please add the results of just using the 6670, I really want to see the benifit, I know there are other reviews that does this, but I want to see if it improves as the drivers gets more up to date.
But yeah if I was building an HTPC today, I would either get this or Asus Llano board(that actually has Wifi) along with a low profile 6670, you could really make a small machine pack quite a punch.
