Foxconn Mars @ PCStats

“Foxconn’s MARS motherboard was a breeze to work with, I particularly liked the physical power, reset and clear CMOS buttons. Enthusiasts will find a very tweakable BIOS, and the Gladiator BIOS tools are a real time saver. Be warned though, if you’re new to the overclocking game don’t go too crazy with the voltage options, you can permanently damage your hardware!”

ECS A770M-A @ OC Club

“The A770M-A is an entry level AMD 7 series (770/790X/790FX) ATX size motherboard for the Spider platform (when paired with a Phenom CPU and ATI 3800 series graphics card). Upon first glance, the layout of the board looks promising. It has support for the Quad Core Phenom CPU as well as Dual and Single Core AM2 CPUs, so current AM2 users have an easy upgrade path to the Spider platform that should not break the bank all at once.”

ASUS M3A32-MVP DeLuxe/WiFi-AP @ Hardware Secrets

“ASUS M3A32-MVP DeLuxe/WiFi-AP is today the most high-end motherboard for the AMD platform money can buy. Based on the new AMD 790FX chipset this board is targeted to the AMD gaming platform “Spider”, featuring four PCI Express x16 slots allowing up to four video cards working in parallel thru the new CrossFireX interconnection mode.”

ASUS P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP @ TBreak

“Some users might want Wi-Fi connection out-of-box, while others would prefer having dual Ethernet feature, ability to overclock CPU to its limits or just run the whole thing silently. With their newest board, P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP @n, Asus has integrated all those functions. Is P5E3 right board for you?”

ASUS ROG X38 DDR3 Maximus Extreme @ TweakTown

“X38 is now here, and it’s still a mixed bag in regards to how it performs. So far there aren’t really any performance breaking features of the chipset, it’s basically a P35 but with better Crossfire support and a few novelties such as XMP memory profiles. Today we are testing out the ASUS Maximus Extreme board which is designed to be the most impressive board ASUS has ever put out to market.”

ASUS P5E3 Premium & Maximus Extreme @ Hot Hardware

“We hope you all had good weekends. We’re writing to let you all know that we’ve just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the features, overclockability, and performance of two of Asus’ premiere motherboards for the Intel platform, the X48-based P5E3 Premium and the X38-based Maximus Extreme.”

DFI LANParty DK P35 T2R/S @ OC Online

“If you remember the DFI NF4 motherboards, they had excellent performance in OC and stability. They were also reasonably priced. Today, one of our forum members made a very detailed post on what’s included with the DK P35 and how it performs. Let’s see if it’s the same!”

ASUS X38 Forumula Maximus @ Neoseeker

“The stock results show that the Formula Maximus Special Edition performs well; and the overclocked results show that it can reach clock speeds fairly close to the maximum of other X38 and P35 boards. The dual PCIe 2.0 16x slots mean that you will not run out of PCIe bandwidth for high end CrossFire setups; frankly, video cards are no where near saturating even a PCIe 1.0 8x link in dual card configurations, so the Maximus leaves you with plenty of headroom.”

ASUS P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP @ Virtual-Hideout

“Who here wouldn’t want the latest and greatest motherboard from Asus? Yup, I would too. In the crosshairs of this review will be the P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP@n with the new X38 chipset. The Intel X38 Express Chipset supports new dual-channel DDR3 memory technology, next generation dualX16 PCI Express 2.0 and Intel Extreme Tuning to unleash exceptional performance in today’s gaming applications.”

ASUS P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP @ Techgage

“If you’re on the lookout for a DDR3 motherboard, the P5E3 Deluxe proves to be a superb choice. It’s one of the most feature-packed offerings on the market, with it’s passive cooling, on-board WiFi, high energy efficiency and even a remote control – all while being a solid overclocker as well.”
