Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I'd love one of these for my mancave, and I'm also in western chicagoland, .... but I don't have 3K :) Oh well. Maybe if you have something next summer... :)
Good luck bump either way!
FWIW the antenna that came with my Z77E-ITX was terrible. I connected the mini antennas that came with my old zotac and that greatly boosted reception. I'm currently using the Intel Centrino 6235 (as mentioned earlier) and it works great. Looking forward to moving it to this board when I upgrade.
My point is that I already have a mSATA SSD on the Z77E-ITX that won't transfer over. Are there even any M.2 SSDs yet?
Doh! Didn't even think that they'd be shared. So I guess I won't really lose any SATA ports in the end. Good to know!
Decisions, decisions...
Anyone knows how the audio compares to the Asus ROG Maximus VI Impact Mini-ITX? I don't see "Purity Audio" in the specs or on the board, but it is running the Realtek ALC1150. The headphone amp and DTS connect are very welcome though.
I just want a mITX board with decent sound for once. I'm...
I'm using a H50 at 1.34v. 4.60 is the max this board can do. No idea what load temps are. Haven't checked in awhile.
EDIT: Ran a quick test. My hottest core sits around 73C while the other cores are upper 60s
EDIT2: Fixed voltage :p
You can fit the 10.5" XFX Double D 7950 if you don't mind cutting out a hole for the couple mm it needs to extend out of the frame. You don't even have to cut the plastic front since it fits inside the gap between it and the frame. I know this, because I just finished doing just that :)
Zotac boards tend to be pretty feature packed and I like that they tend to have more SATA ports than other mITX boards.
However, Zotac support is shit. If it's anything like their previous boards, the shipping BIOS will be half broken and Zotac typically releases 1 or 2 (if you're lucky)...
