Thanks for the video! How has the motherboard been performing so far? How's the PWM fan control?

@gumballtech Does the H67MA E35 Have a built in processor?

[septic84]

Up to 16G from two slots. But 8G is more than you will ever need today, unless you do intensive PROFESSIONAL rendering, which you don't. So save your' money for other computer parts and just get 4G-8G max.

@1191TheAssassin AFAIK the i3 2100 can be overclocked by 150mhz, so barely anything at all. The i3 2120 is already a very reasonable 3.3Ghz for only $15more. If you want to OC you will need a "K" chip, I.E intel i5 2500K for $200+, or get an AMD Phenomii X4 965 black 3.4Ghz at $130 for OC'ing.

one more thing does this board support 16 GB RAM or higher?

Hey guys im 12 yrs n i luv hi-tech stuff but my mom aint lettin me buy my DREAM PC, so my bro told me to compromise n get a lower system. I wanted to ask if i could overclock the i3 2100, so can i?

I just can't believe this bad boy packs USB 3 and SATA III for such a cheap price. Nothing else from Asus or Gigabyte even comes close to it in the price range. How you getting on with it? I'm planning to slap a GTX 560ti and 8gb of XMS3 in mine. I especially wanted the SATA III for an OCZ Vertex SSD. Video editing in Premiere CS 5.5 and gaming .. CBA with overclocking. By the time the CPU is deprecated and the GPU is chugging, it'll time for a new build anyway ..

@cybercuate All new motherboards have PCI-E 2.0, in a year or so theres gonna be motherboards with PCI-E 3.0

[cybercuate]

@ssportugal Thanks, that helped me a lot & the H67MA-E35 B3 (the one on the video) has PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0???

the box says "PCI-E x16" nothing else...
