The BIOS
The Zotac H67-ITX WiFi comes with a UEFI (firmware/BIOS) for configuring the motherboard settings. It’s easy to use and we find it a lot refreshing than looking at the usual blue BIOS screen. Here you can adjust DDR3 voltage settings, enable/disable CPU features and configure your graphics frame buffer.
Installation
If you used to installing full size ATX motherboards, you’ll find installing the Zotac H67-ITX WiFi a little strange. It’s the size of the mini-ITX form factor (17cm x 17cm). It’s fun … and you shouldn’t encounter any real problems.
