There’s far more choice than the range of CPUs that Intel H55 boards support, for example. This limits the use of popular Black Edition processors and 6-core CPUs which generally carry the higher TDP rating, but still gives you plenty of Socket AM3 chips to choose from. We previously noticed a couple of AMD 8-series chipset motherboards at Computex - and finally Asus has signed off and one of them has made it to a production run: the M4A88T-I Deluxe.Īs a consequence of mini-ITX size - regardless of whether it’s an Intel or AMD board - both the boards in the link above are limited to the maximum TDP of the CPUs they support, which is 95W. We've seen a few Intel H55 mini-ITX boards recently, including the excellent Gigabyte H55N-USB3 and Zotac H55 as well, however we've been waiting on new AMD boards until now. I've included a screenshot of the sound control panel so you can see what I meant.Asus M4A88T-I Deluxe Review Manufacturer: Asus I'm definently not an idiot when it comes to computers, but some help would be appreciated. I have also tried using the HD Audio and AC97 ports on the motherboard via a front audio port on my case, and still nothing happens. I have tried installing the audio drivers from the mobo cd but it says 'no HD audio device found'.

The only way I have gotten audio is by connecting my Creative USB headset, it seems to work fine.

I have plugged in the Logitech X-530 from their old computer into this new one and nothing happens, I have also tried my philips speakers that only use the green port and it still doesn't work. It is missing 'Speaker' or anything like that, it does have the 6 normal audio ports at the back. I'm currently building a new computer for my parents, every is fine except for the fact that the computer does not detect any speakers that are connected to it, infact, in the sound control panel all it lists are 4 unplugged HD Audio Devices.
