Shuttle XPC Slim XS35V5 Pro Barebone Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2016-02-02

Shuttle XPC Slim XS35V5 Pro was designed to be fanless, quiet, reliable for a 24/7 operation and it is not focused on high performance. The N3050 Intel Celeron processor also features Intels’ 8th Gen HD Graphics which supports Full HD video encoding/decoding so the manufacturer is recommending this machine for Office work, media playback (Full HD content) but we would also like to add that the product handles well browsing too if we do not have a big number of tabs open and we do also have at least 4GB of DDR3L SODIMM memory installed inside the supplied slot. Besides the location where we can install the HDD/SSD, we also have the option to mount an internal USB Flash Drive and install and optical drive; with an additional accessory, the optical drive can be also replaced with a secondary 2.5’’ HDD/SSD.

Test Setup and Extra Info

In order to start testing the XS35V5 Pro Barebone from Shuttle, we equipped it with one Samsung 4GB DDR3 1333MHz 1.35V SODIMM memory module, but also a Hitachi Travelstar 5K250 250GB HDD. We installed the latest Windows 7 x64 from scratch and got the tests going. Here is some information that we could obtain on the internal hardware, thanks to the specialized programs:

AIDA64 gives us even some more details regarding the computer components:

The Intel HD Graphics (Braswell) is based on the Intel Generation 8 architecture which does support DirectX 11.2 and is also found in the Broadwell series. It features 12 EUs and a clock speed up to 600MHz, simply not powerful enough to handle many game titles. The GPU does also support 4K/H.265 video acceleration.

Temperature tests

To test the computer thermals, we have first left the computer in IDLE for about 30 minutes and then we fired up AIDA64 Stress Test module, for an additional 35 minutes. The minimum and maximum temperatures of all internal components were recorded by the latest HWINFO utility. During the time of testing, the ambient temperature was 14 degrees Celsius:

Power consumption test results

System Full Load measurement was recorded while running the AIDA64 System Stability Test and checking on Stress CPU, Stress FPU, Stress Cache, Stress System Memory, Stress GPUs.

In IDLE, we have recorded a value of 15.47W, while in Full Load about 24.42W which tells us that we are dealing with a very power-efficient system.
