I am 99% positive that the Intel one is the dark blue one (contrasted to light blue) which matches most (not all) paperwork & online forums, however not matching what the BIOS message really claims. You will certainly desire to make use of the Intel regulated ones over the Marvell ones (light blue). (3) Supposedly by numerous, lots of articles in online forums the Intel regulated ones are a lot far better than the Marvell ones, and also some also state to go with the black SATA II ports rather of the light blue Marvell SATA III 6G ports.
Item Title: Intel Desktop Board DZ68BC – BOXDZ68BC.
Version: BOXDZ68BC.
Attributes: Socket LGA 1155, CPU Core i7/ i5/ i3 (LGA1155), North Bridge Intel Z68.
It has a back panel eSata port, yet you could see there is no inner header for a front panel eSata. That is just since there is no such point as an eSata header, it is simply typical SATA. If you have a front panel eSata, or purchase one, like the Antec Easy Sata HDD Docking Station (with eSata port), you just require to attach it by means of regular SATA, which this has lots of (8) (revealed in the video clip) (see my testimonial of the Antec Easy Sata HDD Dock).
I actually desired a motherboard that might manipulate the HD Graphics 3000 that is constructed right into the K collection of the Intel 2nd gen chips, like the Intel i7-2600K. (see my testimonial of the Intel i7-2600K for even more).
Evaluation: 5/5
Exceptional, Lots Of Headers & ports, Great Format, HD Video 3000, & A Lot More (Examined March 2012).
It has whatever I was looking for, it laid out well, sustains the 2nd gen K-chips with on-board HD Graphics 3000, as well as runs well. It sustains virtually all the newest ports, both on the back panel and also by inner headers for circuitry up front panel ports on a situation, particularly USB 3.0 (both back panel & header), as well as eSata. It has actually constructed in follower controls for 4 followers (front, back, aux, & cpu), keeps track of temperature level, as well as manages their rate.
And also a couple of various other notes: (5) Installing the CPU was very easy, other than that shutting the bar took even more stress than anticipated as well as made a recognizable squeaking audio that seem like the outlet was appearing of the silicon as well as made me fret, yet had no worry. (6) My CPU follower really did not place as quickly as explained in the guidebook (yet almost so) which stated not to utilize a screw chauffeur, yet I needed to transform the articles a little (see my remarks regarding the follower in my video clip testimonial of Intel i7-2600K).

(2) There is complication concerning the 2 kinds of SATA III (6 G/s) ports regarding which is the Intel versus Marvell one. I am 99% positive that the Intel one is the dark blue one (contrasted to light blue) which matches most (not all) paperwork & discussion forums, yet not matching what the BIOS message in fact states.
