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.”

ASUS Blitz Formula @ MadShrimps

“After the first load of more basic P35-based motherboards, Asus decided to launch a new, more extensive design around Intel’s P35 chipset. Enter the Asus Blitz series, geared towards the enthusiast end-user. Today we test the Blitz Formula board, with support for affordable DDR2 memory. Does the board blitz everything else into oblivion? Read on to find out.”

ASUS P5K-E/WiFi-AP @ Hardware Secrets

“ASUS P5K-E/WiFi-AP is a top mainstream motherboard for the socket 775 platform from ASUS, based on Intel P35 chipset and featuring a 802.11g (54 Mbps) WiFi access point, allowing you to share your Internet connection wirelessly without a wireless broadband router.”

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 @ PCStats

“With easy to access PCIe locks like the ones on the GA-P35-DS4, it doesn’t matter if the videocard has a large double-slot heatsink, access is unimpeded. If you have to struggle with a screwdriver to release an obscured PCIe slot lock and get the videocard out, you may end up with an electrical short or snapped component.”

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX 9650 @ OC Club

“After completing all the benchmarks in the suite, I can only arrive to one conclusion, the Intel Core 2 quad-core QX9650 performs. To date it has produced the highest scores out of any processor I have used or reviewed. I like the fact that even overclocked and on air cooling, my CPU temperatures did not go above 49 degrees Celsius at 100% load and that’s even with ambient room temperatures of 78 to 80 Fahrenheit or 23 to 26 degrees Celsius!”
