Re: Bay-trail motherboards

PSUs in regular retail channels by the way. So how low did Johnnyguru say he got this boards power d...

Re: Bay-trail motherboards

So with the setup I posted earlier and a Rosewill Capstone 450 watt I'm getting 15.5 -16 watts at idle with the Kill-a-Watt tester. PSU barely fits in this case.. I don't know how efficient your PSU is exactly but it ought not to be terrible and so your reading is unimpressive. I don't know if it's...

Re: Bay-trail motherboards

GA-J1800N-D2H is now reported to be in stock here, and is listed an attractive price (in line with the 847 boards). Finally. Seen any reviews with information about how these Gigabyte boards fare in different cases? And what about the drivers? Bios was a pain in the ass to update and drivers were o...

Re: Bay-trail motherboards

A couple questions for you guys. I was looking for a small mobo/cpu combo like this for a new server and need more SATA ports. If I were to use a PCI to SATA card will these PCI on most these boards be sufficient with at least two hard drives on them? Curious if it will slow down transfer speeds. I ...
