ASRock Core HT HTPC (Sandybridge) Review

PCMark 7 includes 7 PC tests for Windows 7, combining more than 25 individual workloads covering storage, computation, image and video manipulation, web browsing and gaming. Specifically designed to cover the full range of PC hardware from netbooks and tablets to notebooks and desktops, PCMark 7 offers complete PC performance testing for Windows 7 for home and business use.

Considering this system is created for media playback and general ‘light duties', the overall score is very healthy, indicating good CPU performance from the Core i5 Intel processor.

  1. Wow thats tiny to keep an i5 cool. very impressed with that. CPU cooler is so small……. might be borderline to keep that clean after a year or two. temps get high as it is, brand new. I remember opening my last PC and the CPu cooler was b asically blocked with dust.

  2. That piano black looks brilliant brand new, see after a month? it is a nightmare. my TV is the same, the outter bevel is piano black and its consantlely being cleaned.

  3. Wish they did a version in aluminum, like Apple products, that would be wicked. Id never buy apple for a media center as their OS doesnt support bluray and you need to mod it to Windows and add a player….. useless.

  4. Nice.

    I had an ATOM powered Sapphire system after reading the review here and it sucked. so frigging slow. never touching atom again.

  5. The back I/O is good, but why no DVI? seems bizarre when they have everything there but the kitchen sink

  6. Nice product but you could have compared the gaming performance to … well anything! Also whats with the deal with the 20+ pages for a review that really need be no more than half a dozen? Other than that nice work.
