MOTHERBOARD
With the redesigned processor, new chipsets are required to take advantage
of GMA HD. The H55 Express is Intel's new mainstream LGA1156 chipset.

To test the Core i5-661, Intel shipped the processor with the DH55TC
budget mATX motherboard. The estimated street price for this board is
~US$100.

Like most Intel boards, the color scheme used is a soothing dark blue.
The board's layout is fairly standard and clean.
|
|
As a budget board, solid state capacitors are used for the VRM area only.
The board has only a single, small, aluminum chipset heatsink.

Back ports include VGA, DVI, and HDMI, however since the IGP has moved
onto Clarkdale processors, using a Lynnfield CPU with this board will
require the addition of a discrete graphics card.
