Good price. With everything else they threw in there, they left out an E-SATA port. Oh well.

Dual lan on an ITX board... interesting.

Just so that everyone is aware, the bios has no voltage control for the cpu. It might be possible to modify the board to change the voltage.

Great for running a Linux router distro, can even serve as a WiFi AP too.

I wonder if that is so you won't burn out the VRMs trying to OC a K CPU on an ITX board.

Can you still do basic o/c-ing?

 

[fishsauce]

It looks like you can, but you just won't have control of the vcore.

So phail.

Has nothing to do with it being ITX, and everything to do with it being a cheap motherboard.

Some of the other Z77 ITX boards can OC just about as well as any ATX board for non-extreme overclocks (typical air cooling). I found it very easy to hit 4.5GHz with a 3570K on an ASRock Z77E-ITX. Probably has more in it, but load temps were getting a bit high as is normal with overclocking unmodified Ivy Bridge CPUs.

That is a really nice looking board for the price. Would make an awesome HTPC.
