As an HTPC board, the ZOTAC A75-ITX WiFi definitely meets my needs, providing a stable, reliable base for HTPC use. However, there are ZERO overclocking options, so many users will not be impressed, but for me personally, overclocking and HTPC should...

Zotac has a very unique strategy when comes to products. Rather than competing against big companies like Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI for the high-end performance motherboards, Zotac focuses on small form factor boards. This is a smart move for Zotac...

The A75-ITX WiFi is a great technical achievement, as the board is almost as fully featured as its full-sized ATX cousins, and we tip our collective hat to Zotac for cramming so much kit onto such a tiny board. Unfortunately, although a tiny...

Overall, the Zotac A75-ITX WiFi was an excellent little motherboard. With its tiny form factor, built-in WiFi and bluetooth, and FM1 socket, it is obviously aiming square at the HTPC market and hitting its mark. But with its support of USB 3.0, SATA...

– wie macht sich der Ivybridge in einen HTPC? Diese Frage lässt sich eigentlich leicht beantworten, nämlich mit einem „Nahezu perfekt“. Allerdings gibt es auch hier ein „Aber...“. Zuerst aber zu den Gründen,...

Das Zotac A75-ITX WiFi bietet einen soliden Untersatz für einen kompakten PC. In Sachen Performance muss es sich trotz der kleinen Ausmaße nicht verstecken und patzt nur ein klein wenig im Bereich Sata 6 GBit/s im Vergleich mit ausgewachsenen...
