Back in January, Intel released their P67 Express Chipset, which allowed users to build a gaming system with discreet graphics and extreme overclocking potential with the K series unlocked processor. The overclocking is so simple on this chipset that speeds of 4.8GHz and higher are common for regular usage on air cooling. Along with the P67 came the H67, which allowed usage of the integrated Intel HD Graphics processor built into the CPU. However, by choosing the onboard graphics via an H67 board, users lose the ability to overclock with the K series processor, and lose out on excellent performance potential that can be achieved with a higher clockspeed. Today we're reviewing Intel's newly released Z68 chipset, which combines the best of both worlds--users get the overclocking potential of the P67 chipset and the ability to use the Intel Onboard Graphics like the H67 chipset. This is an excellent capability and alone worth a test but there are even more features which also show up with this chipset. Intel Smart Response technology is Intel's way of providing SSD like performance from HDD systems by using an SSD as cache memory.
Astoundingly, while some other manufacturers have yet to get one out the door, there are 12 different variations on the Z68 theme from Gigabyte already, including this, the Z68X-UD3H-B3.That's a lot of numbers and letters which basically tell us that this is a good looking board – dressed as it is, all in black – which has some high-end features that you won't find on a cheaper example such as ASRock's Z68 Pro 3. For example, there are two PCI-Express slots for graphics cards, premium grade components for stability and overclocking and a back-up BIOS for restoring things if it all goes wrong. Add in the standards, including two USB 3.0 ports and support for SATA 3 drives, and it's tempting not to bother waiting to see what rivals can produce. Compared to the older P67 chipset there's not a lot to distinguish Gigabyte's Z68X-UD3H-B3 in terms of raw performance. It's the extra features such as Lucid's Virtu and Intel's Smart Response Technology that make it the more futureproof platform.
