Kontron KTQ77/Flex board for BM2LTS

  • Hi,


    I am about to buy the Kontron KTQ77/Flex board for installing bm2lts and have some questions .


    - Does the board come with integrated cpu and graphics ?


    - Can you use any Intel i5 or i7 with socket 1155 or just 3rd generation intel processors ?


    Intel Core i5-3550S, 3.0GHz, quad Core, 65W


    Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4GHz, quad Core, 95W


    Which is better ?


    - Can you use a dedicated gpu like Nvidia ?


    - Can you play HEVC/h265 ?


    Many Thanks.

  • The Board comes without CPU and RAM.


    I never used an external Graphics beside the HDE, Kodi runs on the Graphics in the CPU for me.


    I use the i5-3550S, but I had trouble to use hardware acceleration.


    For what I use the CPU is strong enough to do the job without getting very hot.


    But I never tried HVEC...


    Best regards

  • Hi maier2505,


    I think a dedicated gpu is going to be better than just using the integrated cpu , just look at the Nvidia 720 playing 1080p..... :)


    Playing video just through the hde has no acceleration . I never use hde , just use the Nvidia 720 on the original Reelbox motherboard.


    Problem is playing hevc video which seems to use 100% cpu and there does not seem to be a low profile Nvidia at the moment. The best card is the Nvidia gtx960 but is too big.


    Thanks.

  • I also do not play video through the HDE, but I still use the Reelbox frontend for LiveTV because it has a very high WAF :)


    Internal Graphics/CPU is just used for KODI/Amazon Prime/Music...


    Just wanted to tell you that I never used a separate Graphics card.


    Good Luck!
