H55N-USB3 motherboard Product Gallery

When we flip the board around we spot only a 4-pin power header for the processor, immediately showing lackluster support for overclocking (normally 8-pin connector) but well, this is Mini ITX. You can tweak a little though as you will be able to overclock a little on the base clock through the BIOS though. And yes, the BIOS allows a little CPU voltage tweaking as well. Check it out, 4x SATA 300, passive cooling.

The board comes with 2 DIMM slots supporting DDR3 memory up-to 1333 MHz and even 1600 when overclocked. You can insert up-to 8GB of memory, thus two 4GB DIMMs in dual-channel. The layout is fine and everything is positioned in a fairly logical fashion for such a small board. As you can see, the H55 PCH is cooled passively with a small blue heatsink. To the right the blue pins under the SATA headers can be used for extra USB headers.

And check that out, even a full x16 PCIe slot. Pop in a fast Core i5 or i7 processor and you can even retrieve full fetched hardcore gaming performance from this cute little motherboard.

All in all great features for something sized 17x 17 cm.
