Gigabyte launches motherboards based on the Z68 chipset, this chipset takes the best of the previous chipset P67 and H67, overclocking capabilities, support for SLI and Crossfire in the first and the compatibility of the integrated graphics of the second. You will solve the P67 chipset original problems in regard to the problem with Sata 2, since all the Z68 come with this problem corrected, yet the manufacturers have decided to keep the nomenclature B3 so that users are satisfied not encounter this problem when purchasing a motherboard based on the Z68 chipset.
The socket is currently dominated 1155 and Sandy Bridge processors. This time we have the third chipset that comes to the well-known company and P67 H67. The Z68 chipset is a combination of these two chipsets the Z68 chipset brings the advantage of making use of video outputs to harness the GPU built into our processor, as seen in the H67 and chipset overclock our CPU as the P67 chipset. In addition to these features has been introduced we find that the acceleration of our hard drives in conjunction with a SSD with Intel Smart Response Technology and the use of technology to leverage our LucidLogix Virtu discrete GPU with integrated Intel graphics.
The board makes a good impression, even superficially. More recently, Gigabyte uses a black matte finish to the PCB, which looks very beautiful in itself, well, when, as in this case, this style has its registration and other (black sockets, radiators, dark gray, burnished socket) - is obtained simply by yum! A close study of additional wiring does not bring delight, but does not bring disappointment and all in their places, all conveniently. Because of missed seven slots for expansion cards there is no interference in memory, low radiator on the chipset and "laid on its side" SATA connectors allow you to set all the slots in the card of any size, power connectors - the traditional places. Perhaps, slots for memory modules are attached to the processor socket, so the overall cooler and memory modules with dimensions radiators may interfere with the assembly.
