ZOTAC Previews a Z77-Based Mini-ITX Motherboard
Zotac was one of only two manufacturers who brought the overclockable Z68 chipset to the mini-ITX platform (ASRock was the other). Their attempt, the Z68-ITX, was met with decidedly mixed results. Some boards were highly overclockable and stable. Others, not so much. Not wanting to leave ITX overclockers out in the cold when Ivy Bridge drops, Zotac [...]
Tips for Installing the Scythe Kozuti Low Profile Cooler
I’ve had my ThermalTake Element Q Llano ITX build on the back burner for a while owing to the need to find a low profile CPU cooler that would fit under the SFX power supply. Mini-ITX cases with the PSU directly over the CPU are quite common, but as most are designed to be used [...]

Once again Zotac is showing the love for the mini-ITX format. Their recent display at this years’ CES included not just one, but two, H77-based mini-ITX motherboards.

Apples to Apples: TT Reviews the ASRock Z68M-ITX/HT
Good reviews on mini-ITX hardware are hard to come by. Not only is the format always the last on the list for the ‘big’ sites to review, but when they do get around to reviewing, the first thing they do is compare the mini-ITX offering to larger formats and find the mini-ITX model lacking in [...]
First Look: ASRock’s A75M-ITX Llano Motherboard
I’ve taken a liking to the mini-ITX offerings from ASRock over the last year. I’ve personally used the H67M-ITX in my system and found it to be a good board for a great price. A first glance at the A75M-ITX shows that ASRock is going to use that same tactic with its new Llano mini-ITX [...]

AMD’s Dual Graphics: Crossfire on a ITX System?
One of the biggest shortcomings that a mini-ITX gaming system faces is its lack of ability to support multiple GPUs. Between AMD’s Crossfire and Nvidia’s SLI, hardcore gamers can rock multiple video cards in their ATX systems for huge performance gains. Sometimes, gamers can even enjoy cost savings with a multi GPU setup. Two slower cards [...]
