EVGA launched the H55, Based on Intel H55 chipset this mobo supports Intel Socket 1156 Processors Core i3/i5 and Pentium D G6950, there's also a (stripped) version of this board named H55V, where the v probably stands for 'value'.
EVGA H55 comes with two x16 PCI Express 2.0 slots for CrossFireX, the configuration is not x8, x8 but the second PCIe slot will work at x4.
For overclockers that try to squeeze the last bit out of their mobo reset and power buttons are available on the board, of course in extreme situations you'll still need
the clear CMOS button. This mobo has a “6+1+1” voltage regulator circuit and vdroop control for a more stable power supply. The OC software E-Leet is included in the software package. With Dummy OC you'll be able to overclock at the touch of a button.
Since the CPU has an itegrated Memory Controller, the onboard MC Hub (former northbridge) has disappeared, the same can be said about the IGP that has also be integrated in
the processor. The video connectors are on the backpanel of this board and the processer's IGP signals are routed there, the latest connnector called DisplayPort is on the
board's backpanel but it lacks a HDMI connector.
The manufacturer's suggested retail price is $169.99, but we spotted it at newegg for $159.99 with a $20,- cashback cuopon.
On a board priced this high you would expect USB3 but the only 'extra connector' is FireWire.
More H55 reviews:
ECS H55H-M @ guru3d The Performance of the ECS H55H-M is as expected, and for the money the features are OK but do not expect an overclocking monster though.
