Intel Displays LGA-1156 Mini-ITX Motherboard

btarunr · Sep 25, 2009, 01:56 PM

At the IDF 2009 event, Intel showed of the fruition of the platform component rearrangement socket LGA-1156 strives for, by relocating the northbridge to the processor package. On display was the company's newest mini-ITX socket LGA-1156 motherboard that is full-featured, complete with Intel Flexible Display Interface support. Based on the Intel H57 chipset, the motherboard supports Intel Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 processors based on the socket. Its two DDR3 DIMM slots provide dual-channel memory interface.

The sole expansion slot is a PCI-Express 2.0 x16, which can be used for any PCI-Express addon card. Located at the north of the board, the H57 chipset provides four SATA 3 Gbps ports, and requires a small heatsink to stay comfortable. The rear panel sums up the rest of the feature-set, it includes display output via DVI and HDMI, Ethernet, six USB ports, eSATA, and 8-channel audio with optical SPDIF. In the second picture below, it's placed to the left of a mini-ITX G45 motherboard by Intel.

That's agreat addition to the ITX league. Interesting to see what price tag this one comes out with as with these babies able to load all the newest cores & room for add-on cards, possibly, a GPU, these are up for grabs! Thanx for the great info brother, CHEERS!

boomstik360 · Sep 25, 2009, 02:55 PM

That is awesome, I can't wait to get my hands on one of those

Hopefully zotac will be making an 1156 or even 1366 ITX version too, that would be even better.

[Ion] · Sep 25, 2009, 02:56 PM

Excellent! A worthy successor to the Zotac Geforce 9300 I have

It would be awesome to have an i7 in such a tiny box

DaJMasta · Sep 25, 2009, 03:03 PM

What's the little black slot behind the lan connector? Is it a mini PCI-E or perhaps a slot for a SSD to increase boot times?

mtosev · Sep 25, 2009, 03:06 PM

Good work Intel!

Yukikaze · Sep 25, 2009, 03:37 PM

I want one badly.

Jizzler · Sep 25, 2009, 03:47 PM

Cool. I also hope they do a successor to their Q45 mITX board (has DVI-D + DVI-I).

Good question. The slot has latches, which Mini PCI Express cards don't use. Mini PCI cards use latches; however, that slot appears to be keyed, and Mini PCI cards aren't. Maybe it's for adding dedicated memory for the on-board video?

its actually a derivative of intel's turbo memory - same concept if im not mistaken

Intel turbo boost much?

ShiBDiB · Sep 25, 2009, 06:35 PM

this is where intel dominating the processor market comes into play, gives them the time and money to give us sweet shit like this :P

lemonadesoda · Sep 25, 2009, 07:12 PM

Is there a LV passive cooled CPU that will fit this? If so, this is going to be my next mini server build.

Intel Braidwood slot. I'm not sure it will make it to production boards, so it isn't talked about.

Cuzza · Sep 26, 2009, 12:33 AM

hmmm, this could work nicely in my Mac LC2

mikechinym · Sep 26, 2009, 01:34 AM

did anyone knows how much this baby cost??

Would be nice if the Xeon L3426 is supported, 45w TDP and 2/2/9/10 Turbo Boost.

I think I found the platform for my Nes-puter. Also, my wife saw the board and said she needed to upgrade to the blue Intel board from her orange/yellow DFI..

lemonadesoda · Sep 26, 2009, 10:20 PM

Yep, that is just what I'd like to do... perhaps need to underclock it a bit; in a mITX case 45W is still a bit on the high side for passive.

wolf · Sep 27, 2009, 02:55 AM

This to me is the golden use for the 1156 socket, owning an X58 already that is.

Can you imagine a i3-i7 with 4gb of ddr3 and a mid range gfx card on this... wow. I've been considering a tiny build for a while, and this is suuuuper tempting.

I'm running a 95w Q9400 passive in the Sugo SG05 (well, not quite passive because of the front fan) with a Cooler Master GeminII, load temps are around 50C

Mussels · Sep 27, 2009, 06:36 AM

this + a slim ATI 5 series card = one shithot lan machine.
