Intel DH67BL

Intel Core i7 2600K and Core i5 2500K Review

The DH67BL (Bearup Lake) motherboard is a MicroATX design that is packed full of functionality. This board is built using the Intel H67 PCH chipset and is designed for use with Intel Core i7 and Core i5 processors that use the Socket 1155 package. While the DP67BG motherboard is built for the power user, the DH67BL is built for the mainstream user that is going to be utilizing it for the multimedia capabilities of the Sandybridge processor family and H67 chipset. This board includes Intel's Gigabit LAN, 10-Channel High Definition audio, SATA 6GB/s, and USB 3.0 technology. The I/O panel features most of the connectivity for the DH67BL including the display outputs if you choose to use the built-in capabilities of the Intel HD 3000 graphics. Starting from the left, there is a single eSATA port, six of the fourteen possible USB 2.0 ports, a single RJ-45 Ethernet port for the Integrated Intel Pro gigabit network controller, a single DVI-I SL and HDMI 1.4 port that support dual independent displays, two USB 3.0 ports with 5GB/s signaling colored blue, and the audio connectivity for the 10-channel Intel High Definition audio that supports multi-streaming.
