    Silverstone FT03... matx

    Thanks for the pics. I have one unanswered question about this case and the layout. Where do the cables that come out of the top go? Are they routed back through the inside of the case somehow, or do they just come out of the side on top, and hang down? For anyone who can take a good...

    New Lian Li PC- Q11 itx case : Specification & Feature

    A few people have asked me to post dimensions of my Q11 with the push/pull H50 mounted on the front fan. I have taken a few pics with a yardstick for reference. The setup is as follows (from front of case to back): Stock Lian Li 140mm fan BGears 140mm to 120mm fan adapter Corsair...

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    Absolutely no chance. The total distance between the back of the case and the fan is 130mm. This does not allow for cables either. Even without the push/pull (only one fan as shown in the picture), you are only at 142mm absolute clearance. I don't want to hijack the thread so I have posted...

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    Thanks! Yes, the push is the stock Lian Li fan at 140mm, and the pull is the Scythe slim. Both are bringing air into the case from the front. The main reason for adding the second pull fan was to bring down the system temps... the cpu temps were already low. I am not a huge fan of the...

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    Gaming is good... I am coming from a 2.2GHz core 2 duo, so this is a serious step up. I am playing Civ5, Fallout New Vegas, and a few others, on 1900x1200 with no issues. Somebody asked for pics, so here is what I managed during assembly: Just the box, because the manual wasn't all that...

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    OK, after a day of assembly and testing, my build with the Foxconn H67 is done. As feared, the board does not appear to allow straight multiplier adjustment. You can change the max turbo up to whatever you want, but this does not appear to have any effect. All references on the box and manual...

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    I have read the manual that accompanies the Foxconn H67S, and am in the process of assembling the build. I had to buy longer Sata cables than those provided with the board because of the somewhat unusual placement of the Sata headers near the bottom of the board. If not for this, I would have...

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    I'll take some pics and post some impressions on the foxconn when it is delivered tomorrow. I'll be using it till the gigabyte p67 itx is available, assuming it's not a piece of junk.

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    True, but if you look at the screenshots, you will see that he achieved that overclock by upping the BCLK to 106, with an unchanged multiplier.

    I talked to Gigabyte customer service today regarding their release dates for the upcoming GA-H67N-USB3 ITX board. Here is the response that I received:

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    Same situation here... I purchased the 2500k even without the knowledge that I will be able to find a way to overclock it. The price difference was minimal (I took advantage of the microcenter deal on launch day). Now I have every single piece of a really nice ITX sandy bridge build, except...

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    Be careful when ordering the Intel DH67CF... according to the user manual, it supports only a maximum of 65W processors. The manual was posted on Intel's site today. I nearly pulled the trigger on the board from newegg but now I am glad I waited.

    Intel H67 ITX mobo review by Cartft.com

    Found this review today on a German retailer's site. It's in PDF, but it contains several photos, specs, and a couple of benchmarks. http://www.cartft.com/support_db/support_files/Intel_DH67CF_Review_EN.pdf They have it listed at $999 euros, so i'm not placing my order yet :rolleyes:

    Any Sandy Bridge m-ITX coming? Any news?

    I found two sites that offer the Intel H67 ITX (DH67CF) board for sale now, with a delivery date of 1/8/2011: Here and here. Pictures are on the first site. I know they're based in Germany, but at least we know the ITX boards are launching along with the processors in early January.
