ITX H67 Motherboards

ian54 · 2 Jul 2011 at 11:57

I'm searching around for an H67 ITX motherboard, this is the list I have so far:

Zotac H67-ITX - expensive, but includes WiFi
Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3-B3 - good all rounder
Foxconn H67S - cheap, but no USB 3.0
Asus P8H67-I Deluxe - nice, but uses SODIMMs
Asrock H67M-ITX/HT
Sapphire Pure Platinum H67 - is this out yet ?
ECS H67H2-I

Any comments or more to add to the list would be appreciated.

TIA

I think it's surely better to consider Z68 at this stage, unless you can get an H67 one at a rock-bottom price.

Basic difference between H67 and Z67 in idiot terms for me please.

H67 has onboard graphics

P67 has overclocking ability

Z68 has onboard graphics, overclocking ability, ssd caching (can speed up a hard drive by combining with a small ssd) & Lucid Virtu (can switch between onboard and discrete graphics)....

I'm not considering overclocking, if Z68 is more expensive then cheaper is better, the Foxconn H67S can be got for less than £60 for example.

i'll be ordering the Asrock H67M-ITX (not HT, so doesn't come with remote etc. but is much cheaper) this week so will let you know about that

It's available for under 70 quid if you hunt around!

Well there is only the zotac z68 boards at the moment, and even they're not easy to find and over £120.

So unfortunately it's not like there's much of a choice - gigabyte H67 remains the best bet.

These are my thoughts exactly. My current Foxconn is limiting my i5 to 3.3GHz Turbo so moving to a Gigabyte H67 and getting full turbo will be cheaper than getting a Zotac and getting 4.5GHz. I'v heard too many bad things about Zotac boards to drop £120 on an untested one that claims to offer super overclocks.

Is anyone running the HD 2000/3000 graphics ? What kind of performance do you see ?
