Simple Mini-ITX with USB 3.0 interface for front panel

The scope of delivery is like ASRock usual with two (normal length) Sata cables, driver CD and ATX panel rather poor but for a German manual is.

The board is exactly the same as the more favorable H81M-ITX only four rather than two SATA ports and a USB 3.0 connector for two USB on the front of the housing. Other differences are not noticed me also with regard to the layout.

So far, it runs almost in continuous operation without any problems and thanks to the ingenious CPU fan control in Silent Mode also almost inaudibly.

The UEFI BIOS allows all sorts of adjustments to the normal HTPC will probably never need users among others even a dehumidification function which automatically switches on in adjustable intervals in standby mode and the board heated to risk a failure of the system at high humidity when comes from holiday and would like to use his PC.
This feature is of course to use in our regions less.
Otherwise, the works by the mouse to exploratory UEFI Bios very tidy and everyone is ever had in a Bios also find everything he seeks again.

Lustig is a tool of ASRock called "Boot to UEFI", the confirmation window before booting the OS is sized very short so I could not get a single time with the DEL or F2 key to the Bios.
But this tool is well under Windows, you start it and actuates a switch and comes at the next reboot automatically into the bios. :-)

A Diagnostic and Overclock Tool is attending with which you can, for example, the LED control completely paralyze (Good Night LED) when one should disturb the Geblinke in sleep mode at night. A simple pull of the cable is also possible but the way it is elegant.

On the ATX connectors on the back I'm not elaborate because the can indeed recognize each wonderful in the photos.

Price I think the board despite the great many features something Stramm but if you like I will have front USB 3.0 rather than 2.0 it is necessary to stop access to this board otherwise example would really satisfy the entry-H81M-ITX for a HTPC.
