Zotac is well known to the DIY and enthusiast community for its mastery of the mini ITX form factor with its full array of miniature sized offerings. Zotac has been manufacturing these offerings for over 5 years now and by the looks of the Z68 lineup, they are going a step forward with features and functionality with these newest offerings. The Z68 lineup currently consists of the Z68 ITX Wifi which offers a single PCI-E x16 expansion slot and full size DDR3 DIMM Slots. There is also the model we are testing: the Z68 ITX Wifi Supreme, which carries a single PCI-E x4 slot and an integrated GT430 GPU along with SO-DIMM DDR3 slots and many more features which we will look into further in the following pages. One important thing to note is that the two Z68 ITX offerings meet two distinct purposes. While the one with the Z68 ITX Wifi will utilize standard DIMMs and allow for higher performance graphics, it should suit also a higher end/mid range small form factor gamer excellently. The model with the integrated GT430 we are testing today is more better suited for a HTPC with possible lower level gaming capabilities. Users must keep in mind that the GT430 is in no way suited for higher level gaming.
The Zotac Z68-ITX Wi-Fi really is an ITX board. Zotac, the mad fool, has opted to stick Intel's latest and greatest tech – the Z68 chipset with Sandy Bridge processor architecture – onto one of the smallest motherboard form factors available, but that's what Zotac does. What's impressive is that Zotac has done this and managed to retain almost all of the features you'd expect on a full ATX motherboard. The single available x16 PCIe slot is certainly a little less than you'd usually expect, while a mere two DIMM slots support 16GB of system memory. That aside, there are three digital video outputs, four SATA ports, two USB 3.0 ports, eight channel audio with digital out and enough space left for Gigabit networking and twin wireless N antenna. It's a mighty feast of technology from a tiny serving. But, as we all know, good things come in little packages.We just have to hope the Zotac Z68-ITX Wi-Fi is one of these good little things. We equipped the Zotac Z68-ITX Wi-Fi with all the necessary tools to rip through a few standard benchmarks, including an Intel Sandy Bridge Core i7-2600S and 4GB of 2000MHz DDR3 memory.
