DELL OptiPlex FX160 USFF Intel Motherboard MX2XF

SKU CH-4GRC-C1RMV

Replacement motherboard for Dell OptiPlex FX160 ultra-small desktops with Intel Atom 230 1.6 GHz CPU and DDR2 memory slots

  • Genuine Dell replacement board for OptiPlex FX160 USFF systems
  • Intel Atom 230 at 1.6 GHz provides low-power desktop performance
  • Two DDR2 memory slots support flexible capacity upgrades
  • Integrated Mirage 3 graphics with VGA and DVI outputs
  • Four USB 2.0 ports plus Serial, RJ-45 and Audio I/O

Genuine Dell OptiPlex FX160 USFF Motherboard

This genuine Dell motherboard carries part number MX2XF and fits only the OptiPlex FX160 ultra-small-form-factor desktop. It ships with an Intel Atom 230 processor running at 1.6 GHz already installed. The board targets repair technicians or builders restoring these specific legacy systems.

Two DDR2 slots with single SATA and legacy video

Memory expansion stops at two DDR2 slots and internal storage connects through one SATA port. External video relies on integrated Mirage 3 graphics via VGA and DVI only. A single RJ-45, serial port, audio I/O and four USB 2.0 ports complete the fixed I/O set.

Direct drop-in replacement requiring legacy DDR2

Installation is a straight board swap inside the original FX160 chassis using existing mount points. The common issue is sourcing compatible DDR2 memory because the board accepts no other type. All integrated peripherals are fixed, so no driver hunts for add-in cards are needed.

Questions about this item

Which Dell OptiPlex FX160 motherboard version should I pick?

The board carries part number MX2XF and is built for the Ultra Small Form Factor FX160 chassis; verify your case matches this USFF layout before ordering.

What does the onboard Intel Atom 230 at 1.6 GHz mean for daily use?

The single-core 1.6 GHz Atom 230 handles basic office tasks and legacy applications, but it will not suit modern multi-threaded workloads or media encoding.

What interface does the single internal drive port use and what does that limit?

The sole internal drive connector is a SATA port, so only one 2.5-inch SATA SSD or HDD can be fitted and no additional internal drives are supported.
