Gigabyte H55M-USB3 LGA1156 Motherboard Review


Wed 2010-03-17 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Techgage have posted a review of the Gigabyte H55M-USB3, a Micro ATX Intel H55-based LGA1156 motherboard that is designed for the new Clarkdale Core i3 & Core i5 processors.

Here's what they had to say:

"As I mentioned on the first page, the official price for this board is $110, but currently an e-tailer is selling it for $100, and then will give a mail-in rebate to make it $90. Even at $100, this board is simply fantastic. It offers a wide-range of features (even including four display connectors), has a great design, has a robust and easy-to-use BIOS, and as seen on the previous page, can overclock like no one's business.

Regardless of whether you are looking for a sweet mATX board for the sake of an HTPC build, or you simply want a smaller PC for your regular PC or gaming rig, it's hard to go wrong with the H55M-USB3. If there are two minor nicks (which can't even be considered nicks, given the price), it's the lack of vertically-mounted SATA ports and also the lack of SATA 3.0. Both of these omissions are understandable given the price, but they're important to point out in case you need either of them."


This is one of the best Bang for the Buck LGA1156 motherboards on the market, even if you don't plan on using a Clarkdale processor, this model is more tha capable of handling Lynnfield processors.
