ASUS M5A99X EVO @ TweakTown

“It’s a great board, but at $239.99 US it might be a bit more money than you want to spend. In steps the M5A99X EVO from ASUS; priced at $164.99 US it might be a more attractive option for you and your bank account. At $75 US less, is the M5A99X EVO an option that people really want to look at, though? What does $75 US less get you?”

GIGABYTE X58A-OC @ TweakTown

“You still get audio and LAN on the board, but for the most part the extras that are on many boards are gone. Of course, with the items removed other pieces have been dropped in to handle the extra voltage and current load from pushing the CPU and multiple GPUs to extremes. Despite the lack of all of the “extra” features, the price is still $380 from Newegg.com.”

Gigabyte G1.Assassin @ OC Club

“On the other hand, however, there are those two cards that are included on the board itself. The network card and X-Fi cards when bought sperately run about $150 for both. Subtract that off of the price and you’re now looking at $400, which is reasonable.”

ASUS P8H67-I Deluxe @ Benchmark Reviews

“ASUS has decided to take this idea to the next level with the ASUS P8H67-I Deluxe mini-ITX motherboard. In this article, Benchmark Reviews will break down all the special features ASUS has included in the P8H67-I Deluxe motherboard to see if it is ready to provide a comprehensive solution for the HTPC enthusiast.”

ASUS M5A99X EVO AM3+ @ TechPowerUp

“The brand-new ASUS M5A99X EVO, sports AMD’s 990X and SB950 chipset. It is one of the first boards to offer full support for NVIDIA SLI and is also optimized for CrossFire configurations with its three PCI-E x16 slots.”

ECS HDC-I @ Neoseeker

“Considering its $129 price tag, it is definitely awesome to get integrated Bluetooth and WiFi. The latter, if not used, leaves room for another mini-PCIe device, be it full-length or half-length. Supporting the new mSATA standard is also a plus. Furthermore, it has the ability to thermally control two fans, one of which is 3-pin and the other 4-pin. Having eight USB ports at the back, including two 3.0, is probably more than the average, too.”

Gigabyte 990FXA-UD5 @ Hardware Secrets

“So far, Gigabyte has released four motherboards based on the new AMD 990FX chipset, and today we are taking a look at one of the models targeted to the entry high-end market, the 990FXA-UD5, which comes with five PCI Express x16 slots.”

ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z @ TweakTown

“The Republic of Gamers boards from ASUS have done a great job of impressing us. In June we had a look at the Maximus IV Extreme. Moving to July, we checked out the Maximus IV Gene-Z and today we check out the Maximus IV Extreme-Z. To be honest, before I even start testing, I have a good feeling about the board simply because of the track record. But of course, we’ll see just what the Maximus IV Extreme-Z is able to offer.”

ASUS E35M1-M Pro @ Neoseeker

“The ASUS E35M1-M Pro steps its Brazos board offerings up in form factor, and expandability with a host of connectors and headers; it’s the only board of its kind to offer more expansion slots than a single full-length PCI-E, and in fact the only one to be bigger in form factor than mini-ITX. At $145 it’s not too expensive, now hit our review to see how it fares against its mini-ITX siblings.”

ASUS Crosshair V Formula @ Guru3D

“Once again we pop in a Phenom II processor and have a look at it’s performance, which will be the same as it has been for a year now. Yep, AMD completely released the 990FX chipset in the wrong time, it should have been released alongside the Bulldozer FX series processors. But ah well, what can you do… have a peek at that lovely looking Crosshair V Formula and then let’s head onwards into the review.”
