Would you recommend the CustoMac Mini with an i7?

Thanks for the heads up. A tweaktown review said the same: "The downfall for the H61 chipset (used in the Gigabyte H61N-USB3) is the same as the H67 chipset. Overclocking is really limited to the point where it's almost nonexistent. Instead of pairing the board with a 2500k or 2600k, you'd be better off looking at the non K versions of each."

The non-K versions have HD2000 which is not supported unless you pair with a gfx card.

That is why the following can either be put in one for the custom mac mini (HD3000).

i3-2105, i3-2125, i5-2405S, i5-2500K, i7-2600K or i7-2700K.

Hi Jester969, So I won't have any trouble without a GPU-card? Builders are claiming problems on this thread: viewtopic.php?f=81&t=11912&p=340495#p340495
Thanks

You shouldn't have any problem using the HD3000.

I've been running a CustoMac Mini with a Core i7 2600k for about 3 months now.

GeekBench Score: 12775

Running dual 23" monitors off the on-board DVI and HDMI ports

Love it!
