Hi Guys,

This was my second build and I messed up bad, bought i3 2120 which is HD2000 - not supported by apple instead of i3 2105.

Can I buy graphic card and still use 2120 ?

If yes any recommendations for a inexpensive card that will fit in mITX and work with GA-H61N-USB3 ??

Thanks !

Sapphire Radeon HD 5570 - 1 GB DDR3 HDMI/DVI-I/VGA PCI-Express Graphics Card

Almost hammered out all the kinks, just have one that is bugging me and I can't find any good information on the forum about it. I've got a wake issue in my build /w the alternative MoBo (GA-H61N), where the screen has no signal upon waking from sleep. I tried upgrading the BIOS to F3 and use MB to load the F3 DSDT, still a no go. Set the FB for my gfx card and it's detected, so I believe that the issue lies somewhere else.

Anyone got a similar problem with the GA-H61N?
 
Hi all ;)
I'm going to buy a Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3-B3 for my new iHTPC.
I'll use it to transfer my liquid-music to a DAC (Poth-Audio LiTe DAC-AH) and then to an amplifier (Rotel RA-04 SE).
Now, the motherboard's sound card have both:
1) optical S/PDIF Out connector
2) coaxial S/PDIF Out connector
and also the DAC have both.
So, are the two motherboard's connectors works?
Thanks for the answers :)

Do you know somewhere online that has that board in stock to buy? I've been struggling to find one.
 
I think I have found the H67N board for sale. Finally.
Its been really hard to find any at all. Unless they are $200 just for the MB.

What do others think of the one ( MB, CPU 2500K!, Case, RAM, DVD ) on ebay?
Looks like the right stuff?

Just search for H67N on ebay and let me know if you could please?
I want the right stuff for my build.
 
hi guys,

I have built the custom mac mini with the alternate motherboard Gigabyte GA-H61N-USB3.

I connected my custom mac mini via DVI and was able to install Lion.

So, is it possible to get the HDMI port working?
Multibeast, Tuneup Kit or something like that?
