What is a mini-itx motherboard?

Believes that many people don't know what is the mini ITX motherboard, industrial control industry people should know something, we should know from the literal mini is small, the so-called mini ITX motherboard, namely miniaturization motherboard, known as' small plate, is a kind of a compact structure design code, the miniaturization of the mainboard it small size but the structure is compact, board face layout is reasonable, save a lot of take up space, it is specially designed for small space of small size of the professional computer, now can be seen in many places in our life, such as cars, set-top boxes, and a computer in the network equipment, Mini-itx motherboards can also be used to make thin clients. The mini-itx motherboard is similar and downward compatible with previous motherboards micro-atx and flex-atx, but it has several features that set it apart from previous motherboards. Advantages are compact structure design, easy to carry, the wiring requirements inside the case is very high, understand the motherboard with good accessories, the machine belongs to the quasi fever level.

The mini-itx processor is an ultra-low power x86 processor that is welded to the motherboard and used only heatsinks instead of heat sinks and fans. Graphics, sound and LAN connections are integrated on the mini-itx motherboard. It also has two universal serial bus (USB) ports, a serial parallel interface, audio input and output, and peripheral component extension interface (PCI) slots, which use an upright card to support two devices. There is no floppy drive interface, but there is a cd-rom or dvd-rom interface. A case (either micro-atx or flex-atx), storage, a hard drive, and a power supply would make a complete and inexpensive computer.

Here to talk about the most simple application, general mini-itx motherboard performance will not do too high, because the field is also very simple, the mini-itx motherboard computer can be used for simple, daily work such as sending and receiving E-mail, browsing the web, word processing and listening to music and so on.

Now we speak of mini - ITX motherboard some disadvantages, there is no perfect man, nor perfect, motherboard, too, in the narrow space design, condemned the difficulty of the design and layout, if you want to match a computer various aspects are strong, the price may be more expensive, the interface is generally less, but no big deal.

Mini - ITX motherboard concept in long ago there was a man who proposed, g-kong motherboard, there are many kinds of main board, such as common ATX, Micro - ATX, Mini - ITX, but before the Mini ITX motherboard - due to the market demand, so we can see the related products in the market is relatively small, but with the progress of The Times, and great changes have taken place in people's demand, people begin to enjoy more and more technology experience, is now with hd and personal computer miniaturization special computer demand increases, Manufacturers also began to pay attention to this part of the market, mini-itx motherboard size specifications: 170×170mm, the size is very small, very suitable for the formation of Mini computers. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the concept of mini computer brought by it has a high development potential from the aspects of appearance, organization layout, product performance and price. Small advantage can be the focus of fashion, function expansion, it is not particularly different from other motherboards, used for mini computer assembly is fully competent. From the aspect of performance, the general requirements are not too high, completely can meet, if for the user to play the game, plus an independent video card can be very good solution, all aspects of performance have a lot of room for development. Both for customers and manufacturers, mini-itx motherboards are attractive in many ways.
