Review: Gigabyte H55N-USB3 Mini-ITX Motherboard

[nucleus]

We've just published a review on the Gigabyte H55N-USB3 Motherboard. It's one of the smallest motherboard we've come arcoss that supports overclocking. It comes in a mini-ITX form factor and measures only 170mm x 170mm, making it perfect for HTPC enthusiasts. It's absolutely packed with great features including support for USB3.0, built-in HD graphics with HDMI and DVI output, eSATA, 2 x DDR3 DIMM slots, 1 x PCI-E slot (x16).

 

Furthermore, it comes with all of Gigabyte's innovative features such as Ultra Durable 3, USB power, 2oz Copper PCB, Dynamic Energy Saver, and much much more.

Does the BIOS have an option in the memory setting called "memory caching" so you can enable it or disable it?

I had a look at the screenshots of the bios in review but couldn't see anything.

No need to mess with memory timings or settings ...

Just the multiper and/or bus speeds ... voltages increase needed BUT only small increase.

The amusing thing, to me at least, is that these little gigabyte p55 mobos overclock dual cores very well, especially when "proper" cooling is applied.  Proper cooling meaning cpu temps at least 70*c below zero.

Yeah, air cooling @ 4.0Ghz no probs ... Core i5 - 650. Could easily go higher if I push it a little more.
