ASRock Core HT HTPC (Sandybridge) Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell July 6, 2011 Featured Tech Reviews, PC

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7.  This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

The Intel HD Graphics 3000 are never going to break any performance records, but for a media center the result seems promising. We will also test it later with some of the less demanding game engines on the market.

    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.

    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.

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