GA-H55N-USB3

GIGABYTE mini-ITX pocket rocket H55N-USB3 turns out to be a monster overclocker, how is 5.25GHz on air cooling?

Yes that's right. I thought i'd strap on a desktop heatsink and dwarf this little board we call GIGABYTE H55N-USB3 and pair it up with a Core i5 655K Unlocked Intel CPU. Next thing I know I'm talking to myself, going a bit crazy at the sight in front of me with the CPU steadily climing 4.1GHz, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, ... 5.25GHz.........FAINT!

Spotted at Gigabyte's COMPUTEX 2010 booth was the GA-H55N-USB3, a mini-ITX motherboard designed to provide home theater PCs with enough power and a small profile. But the H55N elicits interest because of its generous provision of ports. You've got 2 USB 3.0 sockets complemented by five USB 2.0 ports. Rounding out this comprehensive line-up are eSATA, Gigabit Ethernet, six audio jacks, a PS/2 port, and S/PDIF.

On the video front, the H55N can output HDMI, DVI-I, and D-SUB signals—but only if one of those new Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 CPUs with integrated graphics are used. Alternatively users can also use the PCI Express x16 slot for discrete graphics, if they can find a way to fit everything into the usually small cases of the mini-ITX format.

The H55N has four SATA/300 ports for storage components, and two DDR3 1666 MHz DIMM sockets. This puts the maximum RAM at 8 GB. According to Gigabyte, the GA-H55N-USB3 costs around $130 depending on the retailer. It should hit the market right as you read this, or within this month at the latest.

Gigabyte Dual BIOS Extended to The Entire Motherboard Model

• Problems damage the motherboard, most occurred in the BIOS

Gigabyte just announced on June 5, all motherboards retail version will be equipped with dual BIOS.
Dual BIOS function is to minimize the failure of the motherboard works, such as setting up a virus attack errors.
With the feature dual BIOS, Gigabyte motherboard users can restore the system BIOS so the motherboard can last return to work as before. It also helps minimize damage to the motherboard manufacturers such as RMA process unnecessarily.

Most cases are associated with damage received Gigabyte BIOS. Computer users should bring their computer back to perform the service or be sent back to the manufacturer.
Gigabyte BIOS failure to study the problem turned out to have very little work on Gigabyte motherboards are equipped with high end model 2 BIOS. It is unnecessary actually rare in-class high end motherboards.

Jackson Hsu, Product Manager of Motherboard Gigabyte conducted additional feature of the motherboard Gigabyte dual bios to Mainstream and Entry Level model. Thus providing better security for users Gigabyte motherboard, and also minimize damage to the BIOS. Gigabyte Dual BIOS system also does not require knowledge or interference from computer users because it can fix the BIOS automatically.
If there is any BIOS settings and locked until exposed to a virus attack that entered into the computer BIOS. Then the motherboard main BIOS settings can restore defaults, and the Gigabyte motherboard users do not need to send or bring to the service where the motherboard.

Yesterday say ugly, now Asus follow Gigabyte

Through its subsidiary Asrock, Asus never disparaged Gigabyte

Ever see a black campaign, Asrock has said that technology with a Gigabyte board with 2oz or thicker copper layer is impractical. Gigabyte board price plus 2oz be expensive but it does not work and have lower performance in reducing heat than Asrock.
That's yesterday's story that has been published by Asrock, Gigabyte Technology 2oz expose ugliness that is not useful.

Although dijelek jelekan by other vendors, Gigabyte was still getting good sales and rising. Now turn Asus silently follow the same procedure. Create a board with a similar thickness Gigabyte product. Look at the motherboard for the Intel PRO P5P43TD, P5P43TD and AMD M4A77TD PRO. It does not mention directly the information from 2oz on Asus website. But with the naked eye will be different than the previous board products.

Look at the picture below and notice the only logo on the section between memory and CPU socket 2oz Copper Bismol. Not funny.

Gigabyte itself already produces 67% 2oz motherboard type since a few weeks before the exhibition Computex 2009. Until the end of this year, will produce 80% Gigabyte board with 2oz technology, besides the use of board with dual BIOS to minimize the wrong kesalahaan users take through the BIOS setup. And the BIOS will improve by doing RESET reset automatically.
