Gigabyte H55N-USB3 LGA1156 Mini ITX Motherboard Reviews
LanOC Reviews and TechwareLabs have posted a review of the Gigabyte H55N-USB3, a Mini-ITX Intel H55-based LGA1156 motherboard that is designed for the new Clarkdale Core i3 & Core i5 processors.
Here's what they had to say:
- LanOC Reviews:
"The H55n-USB3 has all of the features you would expect from a full size motherboard, all packed into the Mini-ITX motherboard. If you are looking to build a small form factor system that is capable of gaming, this is one of the best choices on the market right now. Including USB 3.0 is the icing on the cake. I highly recommend you take a look at this for both cheaper i3 builds for HTPC’s, and all the way up to 1156 socket i7 builds for a small for factor gaming PC or workstation. Gigabyte hit the nail on the head with this one! Not only has my wife been pleased with its performance and form factor, but… Wait in the end that’s all that is important anyhow, it’s obviously passed the keep Wes out of the doghouse test."

- TechwareLabs:
"This is the world’s first USB 3.0 m-ITX motherboard. That is impressive in its own right. After you get past the theoretical 5.0gbps speeds, the board doesn’t disappoint. HW Bot held a special Overclocking Competition centered around this motherboard to demonstrate that good things come in small packages. Let’s get serious, if you are planning on building an outrageous gaming rig than this probably isn’t the motherboard for you. But if you want a full featured media center PC, with the best external storage support available than go no further. The good news is you could game with it too. This board doesn’t skimp on features. You have to be cautious of how crazy you get with overclocking because if your not liquid cooling than your going to have a hard time finding a cooler that will both fit in the space and cooling needs. Overall this is a great little board. I’m Awarding it the TechwareLabs Approved hardware award."

This is the best Mini-ITX LGA1156 motherboard on the market, bar none. If you want to build a tiny but powerful system this is the motherboard for you.
