currently is the only way if you want to go z68 and take advantages of it

that's what i did, gene-z and tj08-e... like you i come from this shitty zotac motherboard

noise has started again, board sent back for a refund :( hope to get the asrock soon

[update] i'm testing my new motherboard right now, no noise so far... it's a rev 002 board

ok so you've a rev 002 and the noise is present, right?

got it from a retailer i'll let you know when i'm back from vacation :)

got my new z68itx today after rma, i think it's a new revision and will you explain why... main changes are on the back of the board with different hi-c caps in different locations, also the digit led post seems to be different rev 000 back http://i.imgur.com/hXA8A.jpg rev 001...

i wrote to zotac about this issue http://www.zotacusa.com/forum/topic/4930-zotac-z68itx-a-e-buzzing-noise/, maybe, since my english is far from perfect, you can help me and write your experience too :)

i read here that buzzing noise can be fixed by disabling energy efficency option through bios http://forums.itxgamer.com/viewtopic.php?p=574#p574 can you try and tell us if it works? :)

new bios, this time for the a-e version of the board!! :) :) :) http://www.zotac.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=1347&Itemid=100032 Version 2K110809 (Beta) .Added intel XMP memory support .Added CPU Vcore control .Added deep S3 control .Modified Turbo Boost mode -...

got the same problem whit my z68itx, currently waiting for a replacement :( hope it's not a "feature" of these boards...

if it's not the heat on motherboard components such as vrms maybe is some kind of useless power protection: when a certain amount of watt is exceeded multiplier goes down... just a theory based on what i heard from some owner of other z68 boards :D however the gpu thing is soo strange and makes...

what multiplier did you get running occt linpack test? how are you cooling your cpu-mobo?

i only increased these 3 values but 4,5 it's not stable: after about 20-30 seconds of load at 4,5 ghz, turbo multiplier goes back and remains to 43x... maybe some sort of protection applied by the motherboard or i have to increase turbo power and voltage... be careful because these values are...

why such a bundle for a z68 board? if i want to build a htpc i'll just go with h67 and low power cpus like i3s

maybe i'm wrong but this new bios is for the supreme board only... if you look at the initial bios, 2K110616 is supreme version while 2K110617 is a-e

good or bad, if you can't wait other manufacturers, this is the only way to overclock these k cpus on itx and it works about the features... no, i didn't disable any of them

i reached 4,5 ghz with the i5-2500k, you have to increase 'Turbo Boost Power Max' and Turbo Boost Short Power Max' values, but i don't know which values are safe for this board...

shipping to italy is $58.75, lol anyway i'm fine with the antec, thank you

ok, right now turbo multiplier seems stuck at 43 (42 looking at cpuz) even if i set higher values through bios i also tried increasing turbo voltage a bit and one bios reset... mmm :confused: will try a pin reset later

sure, 3 months ago

nothing impossible, except you can't find the axp-140 here in europe, it's everywhere out of stock, don't know if is still in production

give me some time ^^

i just cutted one 775 hole, that's all i did to install the bracket edit: about the circuits on the back http://i.imgur.com/gglVi.jpg some more pics here: http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showpost.php?p=35566936&postcount=5321

of course you can't, mini itx just have 1 pci slot and are way smaller... i think you didn't get the point of my reply, i wasn't talking about size i just don't like the arrangement inside this case

i mean mini itx chassis like q08 or sg05 are better arranged and they are way smaller the first pic make me feel i can cook some eggs in the cpu area but let's wait some reviews :)

pics from the manual that make me don't want this case...
