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.
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)
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...

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.

ReplyPage 7 dude, I think you meant H67 ;)
....then I came to ;-)
(wouldn't THAT be something though?)

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