“AMD released the 900-series of chipsets this morning at Computex 2011 to show the world that they are preparing for the upcoming released of the AM3+ processors by releasing platforms with the new AM3+ socket. This is an evolutionary change or progression of the socket AM3 infrastructure, which means that this new socket will be backward compatible with existing AM3 processors.”
GIGABYTE P67A-UD7-B3 @ Legit Reviews
“One of the areas that many of us (myself included) want to know about when purchasing a shiny new motherboard, is the overclocking potential. Well I’m here to tell you, the GIGABYTE P67A-UD7-B3 has plenty! I was able to bring the Intel Core i5 2500K to a new high with the P67A-UD7-B3.”
Biostar TA880GB+ @ Hardware Secrets
“Let’s take a look at the TA880GB+, an entry-level microATX socket AM3 motherboard from Biostar for AMD processors, based on the AMD 880G chipset, featuring four memory sockets and HDMI output.”
Jetway NC85-E350-LF @ eTeknix
“We’ve looked at server boards from Jetway in the past, mainly based around the Atom platform, and whilst the features don’t generally scream out, they usually offer a no frills option to consumers who simply want the main features that the chipset offers with a quiet and low-powered operation.”
Biostar TA75A+ @ Hardware Secrets
“So far, Biostar has released three motherboard models based on the AMD A75 chipset for the new AMD A-Series of CPUs with integrated graphics chip (“APUs”): the TA75A+, a full ATX model; the TA75M+ and the TA75M, which are microATX models. Let’s take a look at the full ATX model.”

“As you can see from the above charts, the ASUS F1A75-V PRO seems to be going neck & neck with the Gigabyte A75-D3H. The ECS A75F-A meanwhile isn’t a slouch either, as it manages to outperform the more expensive Gigabyte A75M-UD2H in some benchmarks.”
GIGABYTE Z68X-UD3H-B3 @ TweakTown
“Just before the launch of the Intel Z68 chipset, we had the opportunity to preview the Z68X-UD7-B3 and Z68X-UD3H-B3 Motherboards in Taiwan. Earlier this week we did a full review on the GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 Motherboard and if you’re interested in a really top end Z68 board, I’d highly recommend checking that review out, especially if you’re interested in a multi GPU setup.”
ECS H67H2-M Black Deluxe @ Guru3D
“The ECS H67H2-M motherboard is about your needs and requirements, do you need something small and affordable and can live without additional PCI slots? Well, combined with the right processor the sky is the limit as with the ECS H67H2-M motherboard you’ll build one seriously fine performance PC, with a product only 24x24cm in size.”
GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 @ TweakTown
“Earlier this month GIGABYTE invited us over to check out both the Z68X-UD7-B3 and Z68X-UD3H-B3 Motherboards in Taiwan. Because the preview on the GIGABYTE boards wasn’t done in house and didn’t include the contents of the package nor our standard photo line-up, we’ll be covering the board as we would normally cover one that we hadn’t previewed.”
ASRock H61M/U3S3 @ Hardware Secrets
“The ASRock H61M/U3S3 is an entry-level socket 1155 motherboard, based on the Intel H61 chipset and using the microATX form factor, costing only USD 80. Even though it is a budget model, it features two SATA-600 ports (which are not usually found on H61-based motherboards), two USB 3.0 ports, and one PCI Express x16 slot.”
