Shuttle XPC Slim Barebone DH310 Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2018-09-28

By having compatibility with the latest, non-ULV Coffee Lake processors from Intel, the Shuttle DH310 can deliver quite a bit of performance. Even if the i5 8600K is a 95W SKU, the TDP is automatically driven down to 65W maximum, this also meaning that the performance has been lowered a bit when all cores are at maximum load; in many other non-stressful usage patterns, the cores can reach the maximum Turbo Frequency without no issues at all. The unit can be used for many purposes, such as digital signage, POI, POS, office, healthcare, industry, media center and more given its multitude of interfaces.

A Closer Look Part III

The bracket is quite compact, can be removed with only one screw and does feature a plastic tape as an interface, in order to avoid short circuits:

The 2.5’’ SATA Data/Power cable can be removed from the board if not needed; if the bracket is removed as well, we will be able to spot the chipset heatsink, along with the SODIMM DDR4 memory slots:

The CPU cooler can be removed by using the four spring-loaded screws; we must take extra care when installing the CPU cooler back so we will make sure that the screws are aligned perfectly (in order not to scratch the motherboard PCB). Both 60mm fans are powered from the same 4-pin connector:

On the bottom area of the cooler, we will be able to spot the dual-heatpipe solution, but also the copper plate:

With the removal of the cooler, we do have access now to all motherboard components:

The board is equipped with one M.2-2230E slot for WLAN cards (PCI-Express Gen. 2.0 X1):

The M.2-2280M slot provides a PCI-Express Gen 2.0 x4 interface (with NVMe support) and SATA v3.0 (max 6Gbps transfer rate). M.2 cards type 2242, 2260 or 2280 can be installed here:

The small aluminum heatsink on the chipset is meant to avoid overheating; nearby we can find different headers, but also the UEFI BIOS chip:

The system does support up to DDR4-2666 DDR4 SODIMM at 1.2V, Dual-Channel mode and a maximum of 16GB per DIMM:

Near the CPU socket we can easily spot the VRM components:
