ASUS J1900I-C Motherboard Specification

The ASUS J1900I-C motherboard is a compact and versatile Mini-ITX board designed for efficient performance and robust connectivity. It is powered by an Intel Celeron J1900 processor, a quad-core CPU with a base clock speed of 2.0 GHz, which can dynamically boost to 2.42 GHz. This embedded processor is fanless, enhancing the board's reliability and energy efficiency, making it an ideal choice for silent and low-power systems.

The J1900I-C supports up to 8GB of DDR3L memory across a single DIMM slot, operating at speeds up to 1333 MHz. Its integrated Intel HD Graphics enable smooth video playback and basic gaming, making it suitable for multimedia applications. For storage, the motherboard provides two SATA 3Gb/s ports, accommodating conventional hard drives and SSDs.

Connectivity options are comprehensive, featuring a Realtek 8111G Gigabit LAN for fast network access and USB ports, including two USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports for peripheral integration. Display outputs include a VGA port and an HDMI port, supporting dual independent displays. Audio capabilities are driven by a Realtek ALC887-VD2 8-channel high-definition audio codec, ensuring high-quality sound output.

Expansion is supported by a single PCIe 2.0 x1 slot, allowing additional functionality through compatible cards. The board also includes legacy ports such as a COM header for traditional devices. ASUS has integrated multiple proprietary technologies like ASUS UEFI BIOS for user-friendly system configuration and ASUS Anti-Surge Protection for safeguarding components against power surges. Overall, the ASUS J1900I-C motherboard is designed for users seeking a reliable, energy-efficient solution in a compact form factor, suitable for both home and industrial applications.
