Motherboard Support List updated for HDPLEX Fanless H10 and H5 PC Case

October 9, 2012 – 3:17 pm

MB not on this list should also be compatible if they meet requirement on the compatibility page. This list will be periodically updated base on user feedback. microATX standard spec is 9.6″x9.6″ but it also comes in small factor such as 9.6″x 8.3″ or 9.6″x7.6″. Small factor microATX mobo is recommended for better installation experience. It would allow more space for sata/power cable arrangement.

For H5 and H3 series, CPU with >65W TDP is NOT recommended. Due to the passive nature of the chassis, motherboard with high TDP chipset or onboard IGP such as Nvidia 9300/AMD 785G is not recommended. The HDPLEX fanless chassis is best for CPU with integrated GPU via 32nm or more advanced manufacturing process.

HDPLEX Fanless H3 Series HTPC case and AMD Llano FM-1 Socket APU/CPU

October 25, 2011 – 10:07 am

H3 series could support the following AM2/AM3/FX-1 socket if the socket layout is the same as the below Gigabyte GA-A75N (Hudson D3) Mini-ITX AMD Motherboard.
In this case, four heatpipes are utilized instead of six. Most Llano ITX board socket is vertical instead of horizontal which won’t work with HDPLEX heatsink system.

Fit for HDPLEX H3 Series Chassis

If the layout is like the following A75 motherboard, hdplex fanless heatsink system will NOT work on those.
