Shuttle XPC slim Barebone DS20U5 Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2022-03-21

The DS20U5 barebone from Shuttle does deliver impressive performance for a total package power of about 19W thanks to the Intel Core i5-10210U quad-core SoC with HyperThreading. While the peak core speeds go to around 3.9 Ghz when encountering small workloads, during high workloads it may drop down to 1.4Ghz, while still maintaining a good performance all-around. Considering that we are talking about a fan-less design, we found the maximum temperature of the SoC (59 degrees Celsius) as being excellent, with a distance to TjMAX of 59 degrees Celsius in this case.

UEFI Interface

The UEFI interface for the DS20U5 is not spectacular since it comes with the Aptio Setup GUI. From the Main area, we can check the current BIOS date, Intel ME version, the firmware GUID, the installed processor name, total installed memory but we can also alter the system date/time:

The Advanced menu includes multiple sub-sections:

The TPM configuration menu comes with a single configuration option:

From the Hardware Health Configuration menu, we can check out the current system, CPU temperature but also the CPU Core and DRAM voltages:

The usual Power Management options are next:

Inside the CPU Configuration menu, we can check out more details on the installed CPU and we can enable/disable some of its functions:

SATA menu is useful when we do have such devices installed into the slots:

The OnBoard Device Configuration menu allows enabling or disabling different interfaces such as CNVi, onboard LAN, Intel VT-d or the Serial ports:

The Security area comes with the usual settings we can configure:

Same thing we can say about the Boot menu:

The Exit menu allows the user to Save/Discard or load factory defaults:
