intel® Desktop boards DH55Hc
and DH55Tc Media Series
ATX / MicroATX Form Factor
Intel® Desktop Boards DH55HC
and DH55TC Media Series
Powered by the latest Intel® Core™ processors
with Intel HD Graphics, the Intel Desktop
Boards DH55HC and DH55TC deliver superb
visual performance for sharper images,
richer color, and lifelike video and audio.
You can enjoy movies and Internet videos
in high definition and play popular games
with full graphics and media support built in.
The Intel Desktop Boards DH55HC and
DH55TC also support legacy features such
as PCI connectors, a parallel header, a serial
header, and a back panel PS/2 connector.
Embrace the Era of HD
The Intel® Desktop Board DH55HC (ATX) and
Intel® Desktop Board DH55TC (microATX)
are based on the Intel® H55 Express Chipset.
These boards support the Intel® Core™ i7 and
Intel® Core™ i5 processors in the LGA1156
package, which feature Intel® Turbo Boost
Technology1 and Intel® Hyper-Threading
Technology2, for exceptional performance
and scalability. These boards support the
Intel® Core™ i3 and Intel® Pentium® proces-
sors in the LGA1156 package as well. The
Intel Desktop Boards DH55HC and DH55TC
feature VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI*3 connectors
and support dual independent display for
processors with Intel® HD Graphics.
Fun to Tune
Designed with memory overvoltage
(DH55HC) and memory overclocking support6,
memory parameters can be finely tuned
to improve memory capabilities and boost
system performance.
Both boards also offer premium features
such as the support of dual-channel DDR3
1333 MHz memory with four connectors
(16 GB4 max), Intel® High Definition Audio5
with 5.1 surround sound, and an integrated
Intel® PRO 10/100/1000 Network Connection
in a new low-power design.
Two onboard SATA ports are compatible
with an eSATA dongle, allowing you to
conveniently extend the eSATA port to
the back panel while keeping the flexibility
to support up to six internal SATA ports if
eSATA support is not needed.
