ECS Elitegroup LIVA One H610, 35W

In einem Schlichten und zeitlosen Design präsentiert sich der LIVA ONE H610 als guter Office- und Multimedia-Mini-PC. Die von ECS bereitgestellte Plattform beschleunigt Officeanwendungen und Multimedia-Inhalte mehr als ausreichend. Durch die vorhandenen Anschlüsse kann der Arbeitsbereich auf bis zu zwei Displays erweitert werden, was eine effizientere und komfortablere Produktivität mit sich bringt. Die kleine verbaute Kühleinheit ist gut durchdacht, bleibt laufruhig im Normalbetrieb.

The ECS LIVA One H610 is a solid, affordable, barebones Mini-PC that utilizes Intel's LGA1700 mainstream desktop socket. This means users have the ability to pick a processor that suits their needs. While you are limited to 35 watt and 65 watt processors, It should also be noted that you will want to keep Turbo power draw in mind as well. The FSP power brick has a max output of 120 watts, and since it has to power the entire system, some CPUs will be power starved. This can be seen with the Intel Core i3-12100, which in typical workloads will usually perform quite well; however, the limited Turbo duration to keep temperatures and power draw in check means in heavy workloads, the i3-12100 was about 10% slower than it typically would be. I suspect with an i5 CPU, performance would be held back even more. While this may be seen as a negative, do keep in mind that since you are able to pick your own CPU or upgrade it when needed, you are trading maximum performance and efficiency in favor of user choice. It also doesn't change the fact that in CPU-focused workloads, the Core i3-12100 was still able to perform near the top of the charts in quite a few tests.

The LIVA One H610 barebone performance will be strictly linked to the hardware you install with it, and we have found that the i3-12100 SKU works best when talking about performance coupled with a low noise level. We really appreciate the tool-less configuration of the barebone (besides the need of a small screwdriver for the heatsink mounting system), which makes the installation even faster.
