Advantech Motherboards – 5 Practical Ways to Choose an IPC Motherboard

1. Look at the chipset

The chipset determines the positioning of the motherboard, and almost all the functions of the motherboard. It should be noted that motherboards with different chipsets do not affect the functionality of the CPU, but affect the functionality of other components. Intel motherboard chipsets have four levels, namely X/Z/B/H, of which the original chipset with the letter X can be used with high-end CPUs, and the letter H is the initial entry-level chipset. AMD's motherboard chipset comes in three tiers, namely X/B/A, where the initial chipset with the letter X supports adaptive dynamic spread spectrum overclocking, and the letter A is initially the entry-level chipset.

2. Look at compatibility and scalability

The higher the compatibility and the stronger the scalability, the easier the upgrade and transformation of the industrial computer motherboard, and the higher the price of the same industrial computer. For example, users who need graphics card functions should be optimistic about the support of the graphics card before choosing a motherboard. Generally speaking, motherboards with different chipsets are limited in what they can provide, and due to the constraints of the chipset's PCI bus, entry-level motherboards cannot take into account many functions, so compatibility will be affected.

3. Look at the motherboard interface

High-end motherboards supply CPU power supply to the 4+4pin interface, which can supply greater current stability, that is, to support CPU overclocking and other work, gamers who have overclocking needs for industrial computer CPUs and often use them with full load should give priority to motherboards with 4+4pin interfaces. If you want 4 RAM, then you need a motherboard with 4 slots to support it, and similarly, if you have requirements for the front USB3.0 interface and SATA3.0 interface, you also need to perform on the industrial control motherboard.

4. Look at the materials used in the motherboard

The materials used in the industrial computer motherboard are also directly related to its stability and service life, most of the motherboards that are not specially marked are four-layer PCBs, and this kind of industrial control motherboards are generally used in low-end products. The six-layer shielding layer makes it easier to design a stable product, so it is used in high-end products. However, the stability of the product does not simply mean that the more layers the more stable, the more important it is the level of RD and Layout.

5. Look at the capacitance

The motherboard capacitor is a container for storing electrical charge, which is used to ensure the stability of the power supply to the motherboard and related accessories, filter out clutter in the current, and then output pure current to accessories such as CPU and memory. Capacitors have a great impact on the stability of the motherboard, especially the capacitors used in the power supply circuit of the motherboard, this part of the capacitors mainly filter the input current for the first time, if there is a problem with this part of the capacitors, it will directly affect the stability of the computer. Generally speaking, Japanese capacitors have better functions, and are better than Taiwanese capacitors in terms of voltage resistance, temperature resistance, and service life.
