ASRock N3150 Braswell Motherboard Round-up Review

Packaging, A Closer Look & Layout Analysis – N3150M

The box, once again, follows a simple design with all the usual details.

The same package of accessories as the other two boards.

Connectivity isn’t too great on this board, possibly cutting options here to save money to implement the PCIe x16 slot. This board features 2x PS/2 ports, 1x D-SUB, 1x DVI, 1x HDMi, 2x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0, 1x Gigabit LAN and 3x audio jacks.

Along the bottom of the board, we have the usual connections such as USB 2.0 headers, front panel audio and switches, but there is also an additional Parallel port header; which is rare to find on a new motherboard.

Moving back up the board, we see the CMOS battery, fan header, power connector and the start of the full-size DDR3 DIMM slots.

Along the top of the board, is an additional fan header, USB 3.0 header and a USB 2.0 header.
