My understanding of the recent "dehumidifier" functionality on Gigabyte and ASRock mobos, is that it turns the board on every so often, for so long, to evaporate condensation, before it becomes a problem. I guess if you don't mind your computer turning on every so often, it's useful for humid climates.

Seems strange tho....Guess in a humid climate it'll get you fresh humidity.

Is a good deal when bundled with a cpu tho.

The combo, with any compatible CPU is actually $40 off. I just bought one the MB was $84.95. Same discount with Z87 boards also. The Asrock Z87E-ITX is listed on their invertory but not yet in stock in stores. It is $153.95 -$40 with any Haswell = $113.95. These prices are for in store purchases only.

Does it have to be an i3 to to get the additional discount or can it be something like a G2020 ?

WAS $40 off. new month, new deal. Look at their July ad. i5-3570K, i7-3770K and i3-3245 (I didn't know it existed) combo'd with compatible motherboard gets $30 off.

See above.

It is back to $40 off - bought one yesterday, in Houston. They also have the Z87E-ITX in stock now but the price is up to $169.99 with $40 off with any compatible processor. That makes $329.98 with an i5 4670 or $409.98 with and i7 4770. An additional $10 ~ $20 off with purchase of some drives or PSU. Tax is additional. In store only purchases. This is not the MB CPU bundle. Don't know why they have the pricing a couple of different ways for the same goods.

The Z87E-ITX does have onboard 80211.ac, the Z77E-ITX has 802.11n. That's about the only difference other than the chipsets and socket.

The CPU temp is definitely higher on the Z87 compared to the Z77 at the same voltage, clock and HSF IVB vs Haswell. 802ll.ac is really nice with huge range and speed with Asus AC 66U router.

The $40 off is with "any compatible CPU" according to the store not just i3 up as someone asked.

I am going off what they say on their site as well as page 33 of their sales circular. But if they're doing unadvertised $40 off any combo of socket 1155 CPU+mobo, that's pretty hot!

 

[you2]

Hum. Maybe I should wander over there friday and see if they really can do this with a g2020

That does seem like a good deal

Actually they said the $40 off did not apply with the g2030 which they had on sale for $59 (I stopped by over the weekend).
