Zotac Intel Z68 Motherboard with 26-Phase PWM

Okay, the word, well you know what, envy comes to mind here -- 26-power phases ? That's overcompensating for something alright. Zotac is announcing the LGA 1155 Crown Edition-ZT-Z68 U1DU3, yup a Z68 motherboard.

This EATX-sized motherboard thus has a 26-phase PWM design, uses DrMOS and SuperML high-density decoupling capacitors to provide LGA 1155 CPUs with plenty of clean power for even the most demanding overclocking attempts.

The board comes with  four PCI Express x16 slots, which are driven by an Nvidia NF200 chipset to provide full x16 bandwidth when multiple graphics cards are being used. You will also spot a PCIe x1, a 32-bit legacy PCI slot, and two mini-PCIe slots.

The first one of this is designed to be used in conjunction with an mSATA SSD in order to enable Intel's Smart Response technology present in the Z68 chipset, while the second one is occupied by a Wi-Fi 802.11n wireless card.

Plenty of HDD/SSDs can be connected as well as there are eight SATA 6Gbps ports placed on the motherboard plus an extra SATA interface has been routed to the back of the board as an eSATA connector.

On the back I/O panel, users will find two USB 3.0 ports, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs, 7.1-channel audio with optical S/PDIF out and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Four additional USB 3.0 ports are available through a pair of on-board pin-headers, that are located right near the left edge of the motherboard.

The Zotac Crown Edition-ZT-Z68 U1DU3 is expected to be released soon, pricing has not yet been disclosed.
