Asrock h87e-itx / ac and asrock z87e itx motherboards

Asrock has just introduced its two new ITX format motherboards, compatible with Intel Haswell processors (Socket 1150). These are the Asrock H87E-ITX / Ac and Asrock Z87E-ITX that have nothing to envy to ATX motherboards.

The first board includes the Intel H87 chipset, two ddr3 slots supporting 32Gb of dual channel 1600mhz ram memory. For power, it has four power phases and a small heatsink that covers the area. Like all ITX boards, it does not offer us many possibilities in its expansion ports and includes a single x16 PCI Express 3.0 port.

Regarding its connectivity it has five SATA 3 ports, high definition audio for 8 channels, an eSATA 6.0 gbps connection, Bluetooth 4.0, Gigabit Ethernet network card, a Realtek ALC1150 sound card with Intel Home Clound functions and digital outputs: DVI, Displayport and HDMI. It incorporates a Wif 802.11ac connection to connect the equipment to our network without the need for cables. It would be very interesting to know if Asrock has enabled the overclocking option, without a doubt it would give a plus.

The second board is about the Z87E-ITX version. This incorporates Intel Z87 Express chipset, it also supports 32 gb of ram memory but with the option of overclocking up to more than 2933 Mhz with XMP profiles, unlocked BLCK, six power phases, six SATA3 6.0 Gb / S connections and a slot m-SATA.

Regarding your network connections, we have an Intel Gigabit card, Bluetooth connectivity and a wireless 802.11 ac wifi.

Both versions in mid-July and their price is rumored in the H87 version € 100-112 and the Z87 at € 175.
