I want to see price (duh, everyone does) and how well it OC's.
I hope this trend continues. i7 produces the first real line of uber high end mATX boards to OC on (DFI had the only good one for p45 last gen that I can remember).
Maybe mini-ITX will be the new mATX.
Does anyone think that it would have been better to have a little heatsink on the Power MOSes? I do not see this board holding up 4GHz for too long without proper cooling in the VRM department.
Looks like I've found my next HTPC board/build :up:
About MI P55-T36
1.Intel® P55 Express Chipset
2.Supports Intel® Processors
in the LGA 1156 Package
3.Supports Dual CH DDR3 800/ 1066/ 1333
4.1 PCI Express Slots
5.7.1 CH HD Audio + Creative X-Fi
6.ABSII，CPU Auto Upgrade Technology
7.Digital PWM
8.Power eSATA
How can they have a Realtek ALC885 High Definition audio CODEC plus Creative X-Fi ?????
Also H57 Intel's chipset for next year is very promissing.

There is no X-Fi on the board! There is only the X-FI MB application which comes with the board and emulates all effects through software, by using the CPU. ( the X-Fi MB can be used on various other configurations, its free for 30 days and it even works on older laptops with ALC codecs ).Quote:

Looks like pure win from all aspects tbh. Even very inexpensive! :shocked:
This looks like a real jewel!!!
woa, nice!!!!! :eek: :rocker:Quote:

this is perfect for a gaming rig or work rig... and depending on the pwm and bios, it might even be a great benching and enthusiast board, at least for air and maybe water...
will be replacing my tired 7750 and ud4p htpc setup with this and an i5 750 ftw!
An Amazing board, i7 HTPC with 4 GB DDR 1600, One 5970. Overkill mmm, I like the smell of the burning FPS in the morning
Heh Brown PCB.
Its black, what you see are connection lines on PCB..Quote:

i cant believe no one is talking about how to cool an i7 in that small of a form factor....
if anyone says "stock cooler" i will personally fly to your house and slam your pee pee in the toilet seat.
and the really NEED to go back and make a 775 version, there are far far FAR more 775 owners than i7
looks like you're forced to use the pcie slot for a video card. looks like the zotac 9300 board is still superior in some aspects, especially for space limitations and/or lower power consumption CPU's.
