Looking to upgrade my HTPC
Current specs
Intel Thin Mini ITX board
i5 3470T
2x2GB DDR3 SODIMM 1600Mhz
150W Power brick
CIR header with custom built IR sensor
Streacom F1C Evo
Hardware to integrate with
TV is 4K (LG C7 OLED)
AVR is 1080p (Yamaha RX A1010)
Requirements
Windows 10, Kodi
4K HDR
Bitstream HD audio
IR control
IR to turn on and off the HTPC
I can't find a thin mini ITX board that has 2 HDMIs. I need 2 HDMIs to split audio and video to TV and AVR. And one HDMI needs to be HDMI 2.0 for HDR.
Or a thin mini ITX board with a single HDMI 2.0 and x16 PCIE port.
I can find ITX boards with HDMI 2.0. But i cannot find an ITX board with dual HDMI's to split audio, with at least one HDMI at v2.0.
I see that a GTX 1030 can do 4K HDR with HDMI 2.0b.
Current idea
Intel Pentium Gold G5400 (54W) 2core 4thread-> Disable hyperthreading to reduce TDP.
GTX 1030 2GB Silent Low Profile (30W). This will send the Video signal to the TV.
2x4GB DDR4 2400Mhz
Gigabyte H310N mITX 1155 (use onboard HDMI to send Audio signal to AVR)
Kingston A400 120 GB M.2-2280 SSD
Streacom 160W nanoPSU
USB IR RX (mod to move IR sensor inside case)
Any thoughts on the approach?
