IO
VGA/DVI/HDMI/Display Port
4 X USB 2.0(Red/Black)
2 X USB 3.0(Blue)
1 X eSATA/USB 2.0 (share the red)
1 X IEEE 1394a
1 X RJ-45 (network connector)
1 X S/PDIF Out Port


The power pack is covered with heat sinks.
Both the appearance and the texture are quite good; the design of the radiating area is also considered.


The heat sink of the H67 chipset also adopts the same material and design


BIOS Homepage
O.N.E Adjustment page
CPU Clock 100 is adjusted to 107MHz
Graphics Core Ratio Limit is the overclocking option of GPU
DDR3 DRAM Multiplier 10.66/13.33


Voltage options
There are four CPU VCore Mode options, including SPEC Volgate/Auto/Offset Mode/Fixed Mode
CPU VCore Offset +0.010~+0.520V
CPU VCore Fixed 1.000~1.790V

There are four IGD VCore Mode options, including SPEC Volgate/Auto/Offset Mode/Fixed Mode
IGD VCore Offset +0.010~+0.520V
IGD VCore Fixed 1.000~1.520V
DRAM Voltage 1.300~2.200V


IGD Memory can select the capacity of the shared main storgae that is required by the built-in GPU.


CPU Configuration
Enable and disable some relevant functions of the CPU
Common HT technology or the function of selecting the use of a few cores


PC Health Status
The built-in monitoring chip of MB can be used to know the current status of various primary voltages or the temperature conditions inside the system


Above is the BIOS settings of windwithme in the BIOSTAR TH67XE overclocking.
H67 chipset is characterized by All In One positioning, thus overclocking only requires CPU external frequency/GPU frequency/DDR3 frequency.

The built-in CPU of previous LGA 1156 Core i3/i5 integrated with H55, may not be able to run the DDR3 bandwidth.
However, the new generation LGA 1155 may have addressed this problem with its built-in CPU that begins to retain the architecture performance.
With regard to the Core i platform of Intel built-in GPU, its DRAM bandwidth performance is no longer as good as that of Core 2 Duo.
There is an improvement of over 50% in the bandwidth of DDR3 1333.

There are more limitations for Sandy Bridge in CPU overclocking than ever before.
If only the CPU external frequency is adjusted, then the CPU can operate stably within a range of 104~107MHz.
In terms of overclocking and multiplication, there are only 2500K/2600K integrated with P67 chipset that can realize a drastic overclocking.
As to H67, only a small overclocking of the external frequency can be adjusted,
and the whole frequency after the external frequency’s change to 107MHz, will increase from 2.8 to almost 3GHz.

Temperature performance (room temperature is about 18℃)
During system standby: - 25~33


At full speed of CPU: - 61~64
Intel Burn Test v2.4，Stress Level Maximum


Since the overclocking is only about 7%, there is no big difference in the temperature.
By comparing the default values, the temperature difference during system standby is about 3℃ and this is just about 4℃ at full speed of the CPU.

Power consumption test
During system standby: - 37W

Not bad performance considering the price,memory figures arnt far behind my system,cpu cinebench score on mine at 4.2ghz is 7.24 ,its only the cpu multi being locked that's limiting your score or else it would match even beat my cpu
