Hello,
Sorry for my potential stupid question :) i'm not a pc specialist... for mainboards N3150M and N3150DC-ITX, does HDMI accept CEC (Anynet) so I can use my TV remote control for Kodi? Thank you

I am sorry but without a CEC device to test with I can't say. I had hoped someone with some experience on the matter would answer but it seems no one who has read your post has tried it.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Just a little update, CPUID now properly reads the N3150 CPU and RAM information. During my review there were some anomalies with CPUID's readouts that led me to believe that their may be an issue with the way the N3150M handles dual channel memory. I am pleased to report this is not the case as the latest CPUZ reports the memory as dual channel 800mhz (x2=1600) as it should.
 This is the last issue I had left bothering me about the N3150M and it is now put to bed. The board has been working flawlessly for months now and handles everything I throw at it without complaint. I couldn't be happier with the ASRock N3150M as a low power/low cost solution. I would happily recommend the N3150M to anyone looking for a small form factor, low cost system that uses standard DDR3 RAM rather than more costly SODIMMs. Great stuff ASRock  My only complaint now is that I can't overclock it

Hi, rebutia. I found the same problem. I am running P1.30 BIOS version and I cannot boot up any USB in BIOS Legacy mode, but just only in UEFI Mode. Therefore, for example, I canot install FreeNAS 9.3, which was the main purpose when I bought this awesome motherboard... You said you contacted Asrock to tell them. Please, tell me how, so I do it, as well. I'm quite interested because I seriously doubt FreeNAS will boot up in UEFI mode in a near future (even FreeNAS 10 Alpha does not boot in UEFI mode, even there is a FreeBSD 10.1 and 10.2 UEFI bootable)... Thanks!!

Hey guys,
I think the lowest Pico that's available for this board is the 80 watt one? Would this be compatible: http://linitx.com/product/minibox-12v-80w-picopsu80/11459?gclid=CLXwtIP0y8gCFcHGGwodZ5gC0g Or does it also support 19v input like some of the bay trail models (currently using a Q1900DC-ITX)? If so, maybe this one? http://linitx.com/product/minibox-1232v-80w-picopsu80wi32v/11460?gclid=CN_S-Nr0y8gCFUHlwgoduKcKSA Asrock say that the 3150M supports low voltage memory. Would that include 1.35v? Thanks! Edited by David257 - 18 Oct 2015 at 7:48pm |

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I have tried to no avail to get my hands on DC power converters like the ones you posted to test with. I suspect both will work as they offer more than enough power for this little SoC setup but not having one to test with means I can only say they "should" work. It has been driving me a little crazy, I had planned to use a converter like the ones you posted myself for a custom built case I wanted to make for it but despite my best effort the damn things just aren't available locally at any decent price point and I refuse to spend as much on a converter as I would a decent brand 600w PSU and then additionally have to purchase a ~12v/19v power adapter. I guess I will just wait until find a decently priced one.
As for the memory, yes, it does support 1.35v memory. In fact I was able to undervolt my DDR3 1600 kit to 1.35v without any loss in stability. There is no incremental voltage adjustment in the BIOS but you can select between 1.5v and 1.35v.

Thanks for the info! Cool, will just have to see for myself if the 80w 12v version works. Will look for some 1.35v memory (CL9 or below), ideally 2 x 2GB but may end up with 2 x 4GB because specialist 2GB doesn't appear that common. Main function of the build will be as audio pc where low latency/ low voltage is desirable  Edited by David257 - 19 Oct 2015 at 7:27pm |
