Hi, does anyone know how to contact the department of BIOS writer, where I could suggest to implement the undervolting feature for future update? I'm aware that Intel apparently does not like users to tinker with certain settings, but as a user I do not like to be patronized. I want to decide on my own whether to accept the risk or not. Many other poeple made positive experiences with undervolting.
► I wonder why this mainboard still uses 3-phase VRMs and liquid electrolytic over solid capacitors, although it uses capacitors with polymeric electrolyte for critical knots such as processor voltage regulator circuitry.
► I wonder why it uses an AMI BIOS with standard text interface instead of a modern UEFI BIOS.
► Is this motherboard only supposed to work together with a push-pin CPU cooler like the default one?
I ask because there seems to be a problem when using a CPU cooler with backplate.
Here is a picture of DH67CF's rear where this chip (circle) gets in the way:
This is a picture of a typical backplate:
That chip could prevent the DH67CF to be used with a backplate as can be seen here (different mainboard):
My questions is whether anyone can confirm that this kind of problem is still existing?
Thank you very much in advance
Hi, there must be someone who owns this board and uses a different CPU cooler than the default one.
I used an aftermarket cooler that has 1155 compatible pushpins. Easy enough.
That's what I'm trying to avoid.
CPU cooler with pushpins might be allright but what's wrong if I wanted something better?
Quality CPU cooler just don't come with pushpins - they come with a backplate.
Other motherboards don't seem to have this kind of problem.
Is there anyone out there, who uses this board with a backplate?
Hi,
I had a similar problem. I'm using a cooler called Panorama from Alpenföhn.
And how you can see on this picture I had to shape the backplate on 3 of the 4 corners. I was a bit angry about this but when I see your problem I agree that I was lucky with mine ;-)
Perhaps you could try to take some washers to get a certain distance to the board.
Hi guihof, thanks for your comment.
I find it hard to believe that Intel really placed a chip right there in the way 
I'm sure with some washers it'd work, actually they should be supplied by Intel.
Ok, I have just ordered this board for 112,55 Euro.
The price has plunged down to 99,90 Euro just a few hours after I placed the order.
Well, I hope I won't have problems using Dual Screen configuration as extended desktop.
And if there is going to be a backplate problem which can't be resolved by using washers, this board will go back.
Gigabyte's GA H67N does have neither, Dual Screen nor backplate problems.
Plus the BIOS allows ► u n d e r v o l t i n g
That's a big advantage in my eyes.
Hi, have received this board yesterday. The good news is that a (Titan) cooler with backplate does fit alright despite the chip on the backside being in the way. One corner of the backplate is a little put under pressure onto that chip by one of the four screws. It's not 100% perfect but I'd say almost.
Regarding the dual screen configuration I have to come back on that later as the system has not been set up yet.
