ASRock H55M-LE

$85.00 Released March, 2010

The Pros:Inexpensive motherboard compatible with most iCore processors. Overclocking capacity is noticeably improved over older ASRock boards. Overall, good specifications for the price compared to competitors.

The Cons:Some cramping of space inside, larger graphics cards may interfere with RAM arrays. Only 2 RAM slots mean this caps out at a max of 8GB. Audio quality and drivers from integrated chip perform below industry average.

The ASRock H55M-LE is an entry-level microATX Intel H55 chipset-based motherboard similar to the ASRock H55M. Shaving a few features from the H55M (eSATA support and one less PCIe 2.0 x16 expansion slot), the H55M-LE offers more straightforward functionality for those not seeking to use it for gaming use.
