Thank you man you are great you just solved my problem to understanding the chipset thank you.like it..:D hey listen I suggestion to you is just make up yourself like get a trendy haircut and have nice back ground bro believe me you gonna get thousands of likes..:P cheers
You make great videos! i don't get why people dislikes it... Anyway, i have a question for the motherboard, how do i put those power up wires and sound wires on those small pin? The pin is usually on the edge.
Not really sure what you're asking. The front panel header connections should fit on the small pins on the motherboard. Your motherboard's manual should outline which pins correspond to which headers. Fairly simple, though it may take a couple tries to get it right.
Thanks for taking the time to make and share this video. Currently trying to select one of these motherboards myself for a i2600k CPU. This definitely helped me take another step forward. Cheers! :D
Actually, I disagree. If you watch my other Motherboard video, you'd see that, IMO, ASUS is in the top tier of motherboard manufacturers (along with Gigabyte). The problem is that they tend to be overpriced compared to the competition when you compare boards with similar features. ASUS's boards sometimes have better quality (and higher overclocking potential) but that's not that important to most people (especially on LGA 1155 where all OCing is done through the multi).
could you recommend me something for my HTPC build? (form factor doesnt matter) i dont care about the z68 features, i just want something that performs well for my uses. im planning on using a discrete GPU and i3-2100
Are you overclocking? What kinds of things does it have to support (e.g. what expansion cards might you have now or in the future; TV tuner, sound card)? Are you going to overclock? (for an HTPC I'd expect not, but there are people...)
Assuming no overclocking and minimal expansion options are needed, the ASRock H67M might be a good choice. USB3, digital S/PDIF, plenty of SATA connectors and a few other nice features. It's pretty cheap, too.
Thanks for another great video Zach. I noticed from the wikipedia page on the LGA1155, that the Z68 chipset allows for GPU overclocking. I'm thinking of buying the XFX NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448BIT CORE 576Mhz DDR3 CORE EDITION SLI Ready as I can get it for a good price. I'm also planning on getting the i5 2500K which you recommended for gaming in one of your videos. Should I be considering GPU overclocking, and will it be cost effective taking into account the neccessary cooling required?
TBH I wouldn't recommend a 260 at all unless it's at a VERY low price (well under $100). As for GPU overclocking, first, basically any board supports it, as it's accomplished through software (bro-tip: use MSI Afterburner). I'm a proponent of overclocking the GPU, and it doesn't really require any additional cooling unless the card starts overheating which is unlikely; you'll likely hit the overclocking limit before heat is a major issue. It's all a matter of trial and error.
@HotTechReviews Thanks. I think you just saved allot of cash right there. I still can't wait for a video from hottechreviews on choosing a graphics card. It is by far the hardest part of PC hardware for me to understand. The GPU, bits, Mhz, vram, mt/s, directx support and SLI, etc. Anything graphics related I just can't seem to get yet.
The thing about graphics cards is that in the end, the specs mean next-to-nothing. The only way to find out how well it performs is to look at benchmarks. I'm (slowly) working on a graphics card series, but since so few of the recommendations will remain relevant my main goal will be to dispel myths about graphics cards (such as: more VRAM = better performance; get the highest-end graphics card you can afford; cards with factory overclocks will perform considerably better)
@HotTechReviews What are you high? Look at this dude and tell me that this guy is not a fag. Look at the earnings this guy has. Earnings are for girls, men who have earnings is code for being gay. Also, the way this guy talks and acts is very feminine. You have to be deaf and blind not to see this guy is gay.
@HotTechReviews you talk about a motherboard being better than another one because it has more pci-e bandwith (i think it was 16x/16x vs 16x/8x but I cant remember where and cant be bothered to look throught the whole video) but pci-e 8x and pci-e 16x (heck, even pci-e 1x) are just a couple of 3d marks off eachother (out of thousands) linustechtips did a video on it here /watch?v=vfXALgE7mVM
An important note to make (though there are some exceptions, such as the ultra-high-end dual-GPU cards) but I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I specified "PCI-E x16" slots to differentiate them from PCI-E x1 slots (since I initially only said "PCI-E slots"). I was referring to the form factor of the slots, not the available bandwidth. In fact, I think the lane configuration with all the slots populated is actually x8-x8-x4 on that specific board.
My head is spinning from all the numbers. Very informative video. Thanks.

@HotTechReviews thanks! i may have a tv tuner in the future, and i doubt i'd overclock. pretty much minimal expansion. thanks for the recommendation
