[O/C] Mvix Minix 6150SE-UC3 Review


Quote:
Mvix is devoted to the HTPC market and they provided us with another mini-ITX motherboard to test, the 6150SE-UC3. It is based on an older nForce4 chipset but still supports AM3 processors and DDR3 RAM so it can't be that bad, right?

Good Review, i may consider this board for a low power small server, but i noticed in your tests the 890GX board has 4gbs of ram while the 6150se and intel rig had 2gbs, is this still fair?

The board support max 95W TDP.
The X2 560 is 80W TDP.

How does the OC to 4.3Ghz affects its TDP rating? Wouldn't the board explode?

And how is the possibility of unlocking an X2 560 to X4 on this board? And again, how will the increased TDp from unocking affects the board?

no unlocks, a nvidia chipset means no unlocking and its to old to support it anyway, some boards can run higher than the 95W limit if its stated but some cant, it depends on how much over running/quality of the power circuitry can take.
