RE: Choice of H55M Mobo for i3 530 32mn CPU

Apart from the one you've mentioned, other shortcomings of ION boards are:

- lack of flexibilty in BIOS setup. Limited CPU, DRAM voltage and DRAM timing adjustment,

- ATOM CPU is not powerful enough for heavy duty upsampling

- lacks SSE4.1 and small L2 cache.

- inferior onboard PWM power supply


I have a Gigabyte D510M which does not sound as good as my GA-G31M-S2C + E7500 combo.

The GA-H55N-USB3 is the best you can get. It has got a 6+2+1 phase PWM PS which is a standard requirement for 1156 CPUs. BIOS is very flexible, similar to other Gigabyte MATX mobo. Your choice is correct.
