The Intel H67 is a chipset for desktop motherboards designed for Intel's 2nd generation Core (Sandy Bridge) processors. It was released in 2011 and offered a range of features for mainstream desktop computing:
-
Socket Compatibility: The H67 chipset was compatible with LGA 1155 socket motherboards, allowing users to install 2nd generation Intel Core processors.
-
Graphics Support: It provided integrated graphics support, allowing users to utilize the integrated GPU within Sandy Bridge processors. This was particularly useful for systems without discrete graphics cards.
-
PCI Express: H67 motherboards typically featured PCIe slots for add-on graphics cards and other expansion cards.
-
Memory Support: It supported DDR3 memory with dual-channel memory architecture.
-
USB and SATA: The chipset offered support for USB 2.0 and SATA 3.0 (6 Gb/s) ports.
-
Overclocking Limitations: Unlike some other chipsets, H67 limited overclocking capabilities, making it a choice for users who didn't plan to overclock their systems.
The H67 chipset was succeeded by newer chipsets like the H77 and Z77, which offered additional features and compatibility with 3rd generation Intel Core processors.
