Which chipset is best for the mATX w/1155 socket?

[Parnell]

I'll be using a mATX board with socket 1155 to build my first PC and I'm not sure that the chipset i should be looking. I'll be using a Core i5 CPU-2500. I've been looking all Z68s but I just found a Z68 chipset does not have to be used as long as you make use of a power of 1155. Although now I do not be acquainted with which chipset to choose from.

A Z68 is further accomplished of development is not it? Is that the simply dissimilarity between it and the P67? What makes one that the other lacks? And in general, which is superior / more consistent? Links to comments and discussions with useful information would be immense.

[Ryszard]

you said you were not sure of the "take"? i5 2600 can be used in a single take. It takes 1155. Are you more what it means CPU chipset for socket 1155, should be looking least a Micro ATX motherboard?

[Miguel Reyes]

It is as follows: H67, P67 and Z68 - all in the LGA1155 socket.

H67 does not permit overclocking of the CPU; nevertheless permit for overclocking of the IGP (from what I comprehend)

P67 does not permit overclocking of the IGP, nevertheless allows intended for overclocking of the CPU.Z68 is the most excellent of together worlds (overclocking the CPU and two IGP), by means of further added functions such as caching SSD.

I mean no "K" version. I do not think I have a need to OC. (The reason i came to forum to get through knowledge of overclocking)

I will use it for small multitasking load applications. As a McAfee update, play some flash games, and music at the same time during the installation of Windows updates. I do not want to wait to load in anything anymore. I know the processor is a bit exaggerated, but if I could afford to buy and drive a Ford f350 2011 i even though I have no real purpose of having a big truck, why not do the same with my team. I would keep the cost of the full tower less than $ 900 if possible.> In Win Dragon Slayer.

1. H67-does not permit overclocking of the CPU, however allows the integrated graphics.
2. P67- Do not permit the integrated graphics, but allows overclocking of the CPU
3. Z68-is the most excellent of both worlds (overclocking the CPU and two IGP), with more added features such as caching SSD.

The i7 2600 has integrated 2000 series graphics display. The i7 has integrated 2600K 3000 series graphics display.

Both of these computers can display graphics, but must be in the proper chipset and motherboard manufacturer must use all the graphical features and measures to use. Not all motherboard makers to fully implement all the built-in graphics.

What does the integrated gfx i5-2500 have? And if I will be using integrated i should go with the H67, as it allows the function?

Intel Integrated HD 2000 H67 graphics. You could grab as they obviously will not be overclocking. Z68 is another option to look at too. But I would say P67 is pretty useless in this scenario

[Martyna]

Any suggestions on motherboards H67 or Z68? I've been looking around and I cannot decide. Is there a good site with comments table?

I also had philosophy, 'Should I go ahead and build a tower ATX PC or stick with the mini tower? Is there any benefit of building a mid tower, there is certainly more ATX boards to choose from?

[Gimbya]

I do not appreciate people who do not want to overclock. It is an extra $ 10 for the processor SKU and 20-25 K dollars for a decent CPU cooler and be able to clutch into any place 1 extra 2 GHz CPU, which is nothing to tremble a stick yet do not appreciate what that means after 3 decades).

It is not rigid to do. Many boards will do it for you if you desire them. 4.4 Ghz ASUS boards P8Z68V give a 2600K with the stroke of a switch.

The best VRM (voltage regulator module) section I've seen in a 1155 mATX board is on the Z Maximus IV, which uses a similar (very good) months / choke design for older siblings of this family. VRM section is what mainly regarded as an indicator of a quality board these days. If you are not overclocking, no matter if you be able to acquire a contemptible pension 100 dollars.

Not that I want to overclock, I just do not really have the need. A 2500 and will be more than I need for what is even faster would be meaningless. If I get a Z68 becomes ill probably go ahead and get the 2500K if only because one day I decided to overclock I would be able to. Note that this is my first build and I am now learning what everything is, so that overclocking is nothing more than further research and some additional measures that could be avoided.

About every table has an auto OC now so it's always an option. All you have to do is allow CO car and go.

So if I have to overclock it will be easier, nevertheless now not necessary. So let's talk about it after you actually have a motherboard. That's the difficulty at this time.

If it is desired views, reviews I have. Here are some Z68 and P67 critics who have recently completed. Almost everything you need is there. If you have any specific questions, ask.
