Hardware Zotac H67-ITX WiFi Review

A small board crammed full of more features than you'll probably ever need

Pretty cool. If I ever got round to building a sff pc I would be very keen on one of these

 

The BIOS at least managed to run our test memory at the maximum 1,333MHz that the P67 chipset supports.

Page 7 dude, I think you meant H67

 

No power consumption info?

 

For a briefest moment I lost my head and thought ... Dang! 33 FPS in Cryses with the built in graphics??!!!

....then I came to ;-)

(wouldn't THAT be something though?)

 

Hmmm I am awaiting the the review of the Foxconn H67-S board as at £69 it makes for a perfect temporary mITX board until the full fat P67 models come along.

I am sorely tempted to change my Sandy Bridge build to a mITX form factor based around the excellent Silverstone SG07.

My idea was cheap H67 & 2600k now and then move over to the P67 when it comes out.

 

I have the H55 Zotac board and I liked the fact I've been able to OC my i5 665K !

Not likely to bother upgrading as it's quiet enough and doesn't need any more CPU muscle to be a decent HTPC build.

Woohoo! Crysis tests again!

Howcome Crysis is considered too old for garphics cards tests, but stays in the Mobo tests?
(And yes, it still is an application that REALLY taxes your system)

 

What happens to the CPU's built in GPU when a graphics card is added to the motherboard? Does it add to the graphics grunt, or simply get deactivated?

 

I like Zotac boards, but previous problems like "bricked bios" and "motherboard physical revision to correct some mistakes that disabled some cpu options" just sent me to Gigabyte and Asus.

Asus P8H67-I Deluxe is not cheap, but I found it to be a better deal... feature wise and less chance of problem in the future. Hope Gigabyte can deliver their GA-H67N-USB3 fast enough and even the much talked about GA-P67N version (if it's true)... to see how prices will turn out.

 

I also wait for a P67 based mini ITX to build powerful gaming/HTPC box...
this one could be quite good for classic HTPC or daily used PC that requires some more CPU muscle and not that much GPU muscle... except the price is a bit too high for such system...

 

Indeed, the motherboard is excellent (CPU socket location aside) but the price is just too high for this sort of board. The Foxconn (whilst lacking some features) is half the price...

 

I too am waiting for the foxconn review from bit-tech. I found 2 reviews of this board from other sites though:-

The Foxconn review is due to go up on Monday morning so not long to wait guys.

 

What the Zotac has going for it is those 6 SATA ports. If you want to build a top high performance NAS then you really need 5 SATA ports (one for the boot drive and 4 in RAID 5 or RAID 1+0). Shame the IO performance isn't up to par really.

 

Probably because it puts strain on all parts of your system... memory, hard drive, motherboard, CPU and GPU all factor in to Crysis' performance, rather than just the CPU and GPU like so many other games. Crysis does things when it comes to AI, graphics etc. that most other games don't even come close to; I think only ArmA II is more advanced than Crysis.

 

Wow, what a sloppy review, what's going on bit-tech? You're really losing your touch as a reliable source for good reviews

 

Till it fried it's VRM's... RMA in progress !
