Analysis of a Mini ITX Zotac Socket 1156

If last week showed you an analysis of the Intel DH57JG, the first mini ITX motherboard with socket 1156, this week we can read a review of specialist mini ITX boards: Zotac. This is the Zotac H55Itx-A-E.

On Bit Tech Net has been fortunate to be able to test drive this motherboard. And the truth is that this motherboard promises. Its features are:

– Socket 1156, consistent with the i3 Core, Core i5 and the Core i7 800 series. Both models with embedded graphics, and with no graphics card models

– Support for 8 gigs of DDR3 1066 or 1333 mhz. It has two memory slots

– Possibility to connect a more powerful graphics card with PCI-Express slot that leads

– Wireless network card and a cable

– 14 ports USB

– 6 ports Sata 2 and eSata port

– HDMI 1.3

– 7.1 digital sound

So you look at the back of the plate and there is not a vacuum huequecito has been used throughout:

The advertised price of the plate shall be at 110 Euros. I have not yet seen in Spain, but I do not take us long to see her. It’s a little cheaper than Intel, but one reason is that this card is the H55 and H57 and not the chipset.

So we can set up a HTPC or a PC very small, but a bully with these plates. But with all the connections that carries even a small home server Nas or reduced in size. These modern boards so tight with this size allows us to design very specific configuration that months ago would not even have dreamed of.
