ASUS P8H67-I Deluxe @ Tech Report

“Mini-ITX motherboards don’t get more loaded than Asus’ P8H67-I Deluxe, which has a Sandy Bridge CPU socket, a PCIe x16 slot, four USB 3.0 ports, and both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. We take a closer look to see if it can run with the big boys.”

ASUS P8Z68-V Pro @ iXBT Labs

“ASUS P8Z68-V Pro supposedly fits between P8Z68-V and P8Z68 Deluxe. The “Pro” suffix hints at the mid-end or even entry-level nature. But despite that ASUS P8Z68-V Pro offers four USB 3.0 ports, four SATA-600 ports, Bluetooth, and supports SLI/CrossFire/Virtu. What else could you wish for?”

ASUS F1A75-M Pro @ eTeknix

“Today sees us putting the F1A75-M Pro motherboard from Asus through its paces to see what performance can be unlocked from these new APU’s and what is on offer in terms of features from this leading motherboard manufacturer.”

MSI Big Bang Marshal @ TweakTown

“MSI has had an interesting couple of years. During CES 2010 we saw them show off their new line of Big Bang motherboards with Lucid Logix’s Hydra chips on them. Unfortunately we saw this demo stutter through 3DMark Vantage. They were able to recover from that and managed to put out a few good boards with this package in them. We took a look at a couple of them here on TweakTown (and will probably look at more to come).”

ASUS P8Q67-M DO/CSM @ Hardware Secrets

“The Intel Q67 chipset is targeted to the enterprise segment, i.e., desktop computers inside a big corporation. It is basically an H67 chipset with remote management and security technologies, allowing system and network administrators to manage and maintain the computers inside the company remotely, significantly lowering maintenance costs and decreasing the time required to fix and update the computers.”

Foxconn H67A-S @ eTeknix

“Z68 has been on the market for quite some time, but not everyone is keen to jump onto the new platform due to its price and somewhat unneeded features. Obviously a lot of users will make use of the fantastic features that it has to offer, but others feel that paying for functionality that they don’t want or need is a pointless exercise.”

ASUS Sabertooth 990FX @ PureOC

“Sporting a tough military theme and construction that’s designed to withstand some serious overclocking, the ASUS Sabertooth 990FX comes with great features and an attractive price tag. So we put it on dry ice to see just how high it can go.”

Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3-iSSD vs ASUS P8Z68-V Pro @ TBreak

“Between the ASUS P8Z68-V Pro and the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3-iSSD I would choose the latter only if I don’t plan on getting a bigger SSD for my system, otherwise the ASUS board seems to be perfectly capable in all capacities. Still, the overall raw performance of the Gigabyte is unmistakable, so for those who want the absolute best, the Z68XP-UD3-iSSD is the motherboard to get.”

ASUS P8P67 Deluxe @ X-Bit Labs

“This is the top-of-the-line solution in Asus’ Intel P67 Express based family. Only this one model features the full set of functions: deluxe accessories bundle, enhanced processor voltage regulator, integrated Bluetooth module, eSATA and Power eSATA ports, USB 3.0 on the back panel with an option to be connected to the front panel, IEEE1394 (FireWire) and two Gigabit network controllers.”

ASUS Sabertooth P67 @ Hardware Secrets

“Even though the Intel Z68 chipset is out there, motherboards based on the Intel P67 continue to be attractive options for systems based on Intel socket 1155 CPUs. In fact, according to ASUS, the sales of P67-based motherboards are still outperforming those of Z68-based products. The Sabertooth P67 is a top mid-range (or entry high-end, depending on your point of view) motherboard that focuses on quality. Let’s see what is so special about this model.”
