ZOTAC NF610I-L-E Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Comment:
I bought this as a gamble to fix a two year old Acer Aspire that a service center told me was not economically repairable. Effectively, for ฽ and a ฟ mail-in rebate there was not substantially to lose! I had never ever replaced a motherboard ahead of, but everything went really smoothly. I applied the CPU and 1Gb ram from the old Acer (one ram was defective). I actually didn't even have to reload the operating program. It just booted and windows reloaded all needed drivers. Running Win 7 32-bit just fine. Overall performance score is 3.2 (exactly the same as the old board). None My CPU fan runs at higher (very noisy) for about 1 minute at start off up, and then slows proper down. Now I have to find out about PWM CPU fans. Maybe the old Acer fan is not precisely compatible with this board.

Installed processor and mem and this "little" board fired proper up. Does what I purchased it for. none Added leaflet in manual states that when you register with Zotac, you get a Lifetime warranty in the US. Sounds excellent to me.

Straightforward to install. Extremely good board for what is fees. Ideal if you're on a budget to develop a Computer. Their internet site has documentation on all CPUs that have been tested with this board. Windows default audio drivers didn't perform, though is showed the speaker in the technique tray and volume bar when sound played. Should install drivers CD for audio to perform. Soon after CD was installed anything is working 100%. In no way bought Zotac parts just before. Mounted an E2200 CPU on this motherboard with 2X1GB of RAM. Couldn't think how fast it ran below Windows 7. I have it operating for five days now devoid of any crashes whatsoever.

Purchased to upgrade a six year old HP machine. Threw in an E1200 and 2Gb DDR2 for an OK machine to surf with. Worked fine with 20 pin ATX PSU. Installed an extra PCI IDE card, as program had three PATA drives (Only 1 IDE on M/B). All drives function flawlessly. None for the money

Comment:
Inexpensive. Operates with stock settings. Only 2 ram slots. Overclocking doesn't perform for me using an e8400 cpu. My 1066mhz ram only registers at 800mhz. Manually setting it to 1066mhz causes program instability. My earlier motherboard had no dilemma overclocking it to three.6ghz, but this one will not overclock at all. I have tried a number of distinct voltages as nicely as beneath-clocking my ram. Also, my ram registered at 1066mhz and operating fine in my previous motherboard.

I needed a cheap answer and this would have been excellent if it had worked. I was starting to like zotac. A handful of years ago I purchased a graphics card from them and that factor has been in five computers and is nevertheless operating sturdy. OH, this motherboard has and superb clock battery spring. I ought to have removed the battery 40 instances and it was a genuine trooper. This factor price me all kinds of time and funds. I have tried two power supplys, 5 sticks of ram,two keyboards, two mice, 3 power buttons, 2 difficult drives, and 2 cables to attempt to track down the issues I've had with this. I chatted with zotac tech support and they gave up and said try flashing the bios and that they would e-mail me what they found out later. They under no circumstances emailed me. So, I discovered the bios which was not on a page about this motherboard, but for a complete class of merchandise and it mentioned there are two versions of bios and that I had to look at a number on the bottom of the motherboard to figure out which bios to use. Truly! COME ON, YOU"RE KILLIN ME. I had to take the computer system back apart to appear at that quantity. It looked like the serial number on the box, but it was much earlier and the bottom of the board was dirty and corroded with fingerprints in the dirt. It confident looks like they just boxed up one thing that got returned and gave it a new serial quantity. I cleaned it up for subsequent guy. I got a free game with this factor and my son loves it, so I knew there would be no returning that game and I attempted challenging to get this to function. Which it kinda does now, just not consistantly. I can't let this thing represent my organization, even if I have to loose dollars. The way the accounting was completed on my invoice was ჳ for the game and -39, so... if I return this factor, it's going to expense me dollars on best of the foxconn I just bought. If you have one particular of these and are obtaining difficulty with it, look at power and acpi. mine appears to bleed 5 volts to other items that are not suppose to have Ƴv. I just hope it didn't kill all the other parts I plugged into it. Newegg will most likely make this proper, but it was a waste of time. I've had a couple negative parts lately, but I've ordered a lot as well. I just hate calling and begging for no re-stocking and shipping. This is the sort of junk that will place us all out of small business.

LOTES socket, not Foxconn, and truly low-cost. By no means got my rebate, says it will take ten - 14 weeks, I mailed my rebate in early December, so it has been just about four months and still haven't got it.Says Micro ATX but 30% of the PCB is missing, Zotac can't even afford a complete size Micro ATX board, the width of the board is about twoǙ the width of a standard Micro ATX board from a standard firm like Gigabyte or AsusLatest drivers on the Zotac web site is about a year old, no new updates.Only has VGA video output, ought to have at least DVIOld and obsolete technologies, I wish I didn't get this I must have purchased some other brand like Gigabyte or Asus, anything else is far better than ZotacZotac, ever wonder why BFG Technologies went bankrupt? Keep undertaking this and you'll be just like them... Manufacturer Response:Sorry to hear you have not receive your rebate.

No COM or LPT ports for older systems and could use a different PCI slot .

Low-cost seems to function for some persons, not for other people Attempted many occasions low watt Intel CPUs that ZOTAC says will work on the board, None of the CPUs that had been dual cores would work, Tech Support was small support and acted as this by no means happened, I also tried a Pentium-D, The dual cores showed as a co-processor. Really slow, Loaded Win 7 many times, no go, A single core CPU worked best with no dilemma. Zotac wants to get their product FIXED prior to selling it, or at least put a repair online. The most up-to-date bios upgrade was installed.I have built more than a 1000 Computers, by no means had a board like this that would not perform as it was supposed to. The board acted like it was all OK and WIN 7 ran, just extremely slowly and would show 1 CPU only. Immediately after 7 CPUs that must have worked, didn't, It was a fault of the board, not a CPU or any other item, ALL CPUs were perfect, Try other memory and many other points to load this board with WIN 7. Looking at all the poor evaluations ZOTAC really should be able to come up with an answer to the troubles of this board.I put the CPU in a Gigabyte board along woth the RAM, it loaded first time and worked excellent Manufacturer Response:Sorry to hear you are experiencing troubles with our product.

Inexpensive Don't boot from CD. Verify BIOS, settings OK. Try to transform boot device, F12 does nothing at all. Alter DVD reader, try yet again, nothing. OK, install brand new BD reader but once more no boot from CD drive. Aghhh. Finally, I got Win 7 Ultimateinstalled from USB stick. Following that, install drivers in CD. Sound chip drivers installed OK. Right after reboot, no sound, no audio device in Device List. Reinstall drivers, reboot, sound OK. Soon after rebooting once more no sound, no audio device! OK, what's up?. Verify BIOS settings, all OK. Download drivers from Realtek internet page (last version), driver install OK. Reboot. Eureka, I have sound once again. New reboot just to examine and once more no sound, no audio device :( Soon after 10 or 15 occasions like that, I just installed a PCI sound card. Too substantially perform for nothing at all but at the finish you get what you spend for. Forget the rebate! It seems it in no way arrives. And choose an additional mainboard brand!

Extremely little with a good layout. Quite straightforward to assemble and is well documented if you wonder "what goes where." Freakishly smaller and if you rush your create you may well make items hard on oneself. Wait until you have every little thing connected just before installing things like RAM and Video Card. Genuinely solid board. Time will tell on the rebate but even at the value I paid I'm content to have a incredibly functional MoBo.

Comment:
Good deal on a mobo that was extremely uncomplicated to install and config. Utilized this mobo as a replacement for a DELL VOSTRO 200 mobo and the box just screams. no cons

Comment:
It does precisely what it demands to. No difficulties, hiccups with Windows 7 or with any other hardware. Low cost and stable. None. Black Friday Deal. Part of a develop for a family member.
