BIOSTAR TH67XE Ver. 5.x Pro Reviews

Intel's H67 chipsets were released in unison with the first desktop processor from Intel to integrate a graphics core directly into the CPU die. The upshot of the new graphics core packed into 32nm Sandy Bridge CPUs is that graphics get better for everyone who buys PCs from the likes of Dell, or other large system integrators. While all Sandy Bridge CPUs have the integrated graphics core tucked away inside, to access it you need an Intel H67 (or Intel Z68)motherboard. Boards like the Biostar TH67XE that PCSTATS reviewed for you today support one PCI Express 2.0 x16 videocard, but more than likely will never see any discrete graphics outside of the Sandy Bridge iGPU. Biostar's TH67XE motherboard features one DVI, one HDMI, one Display Port and one Analog video output - it supports dual monitors as well.

The Biostar TH67XE will be an interesting option for users building a fast HTPC based on a forthcoming Intel socket 1155 CPU: it has four different video connectors, on-board optical SPDIF output, SATA-600, USB 3.0, FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet ports and an infrared interface for you to add a remote control. The voltage regulator circuit used on this motherboard isn’t bad at all for an entry-level motherboard.
