Shuttle XH110V Barebones System Review

Performance


Benchmarking a barebones system is an extremely subjective matter, as the systems offer a few base components such as the motherboard, but overall, their performance will be based on the memory, CPU, storage and expansion cards of your choosing. We fired up a few simple benchmarks more as a method of showing everything works as expected.

The system put out a decent time for the very demanding WPrime benchmark, and pushed that compact CPU cooler to its limits, yet was still fairly quiet given its size. When it gets going, the cooler is audible, but unless you’ll be running WPrime all day, it’s unlikely you’ll really notice it at these levels.

PCMark 8 performance was robust, especially for a system with no GPU. Of course, this is just the i3 part installed, you could easily boost this performance by switching it out for an i5, or even an i7.

Memory performance is decent here too, showing the motherboard can pull its weight, even with DDR3 SO-DIMM memory.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
