GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 @ HardOCP
“The GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 board leverages the latest Intel chipset, the Intel Z68 chipset, to deliver support for the following integrated technologies: the Intel LGA1155 Core i3, i5, and i7 processor lines; DDR3 memory operating in Dual Channel memory mode up to 1333MHz officially; and either NVIDIA SLI or ATI CrossFireX graphics mode using matched video cards.”
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P @ OC3D
“The specs of the UD3P are as all-inclusive as we’ve come to expect from the Z68 chipset. We’ve got support for up to 32GB of DDR3, should 8GB density ever become commonplace, along with good quality audio via the Realtek ALC889. Storage is handled by 4 SATA II ports and 4 SATA III 6Gbp/s ones.”
Gigabyte A75M-UD2H @ Hardware Secrets
“So far, Gigabyte has released five motherboard models based on the AMD A75 chipset for the new AMD A-Series of CPUs with integrated graphics chip (“APUs”), with prices ranging from USD 100 to USD 130. Let’s take a look at the A75M-UD2H, a microATX model that is sold for USD 110.”
ASUS F1A75-V Pro (AMD A75) @ TweakTown
“Today we’re going to be looking at our first A75 chipset motherboard in the form of the ASUS F1A75-V Pro. Of course, we’ve already done a big preview on this board that covered everything on the board and the BIOS; because of that we’ll be getting straight into the test system, talk about overclocking and get into the performance side of things. If you want to see more of the board, though, I’d recommend you check out our original preview piece, ASUS F1A75-V Pro (AMD A75) Llano Motherboard Preview.”
GIGABYTE A75-UD4H @ Bjorn3D
“When we looked at Llano, we determined that its CPU performance is similar to Athlon II X4 or Phenom II X4 840 processor, so why would a discrete GPU user choose Llano instead of an Athlon II X4 or Phenom II X4? Should the user choose a more expensive CPU for gaming? Firstly, Llano is more power efficient and runs much cooler than the 45nm processors. We’ll be testing the second question today.”
Gigabyte A75M-UD2H FM1 @ eTeknix
“As we already know, Bulldozer is what everyone is waiting for, but on the way saw a couple of stop gaps for AMD Fusion, the first being Brazos which gave us a low-powered APU that combined the best of both CPU and GPU and still to this date, we believe is perfect for HTPC or server usage. In fact, we believe that so much that we have the Asus E35M1-M Pro powering our server, whilst the Gigabyte E350N-USB3 sits comfortably in our HTPC so we certainly found a use for them.”
GIGABYTE A75-UD4H (AMD A75) @ TweakTown
“Now that the all mighty NDA has lifted on the new Llano platform, we’re able to bring to you all those motherboards that support the new APU from AMD. Today we’ll be looking at the GIGABYTE A75-UD4H. Like the ASUS board, we have already done an extensive preview on this one, so if you haven’t already looked at it, I highly recommend you go check out GIGABYTE A75-UD4H (AMD A75) Llano Motherboard Preview to see what’s going on with the look of the board and the bundle.”
GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 @ Legit Reviews
“If we were to look at strictly the performance of the GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3, I would have no complaints. Unfortunately, I can’t look past what I feel are short comings of the Z68X-UD7-B3. It seems to me, that GIGABYTE took the P67A-UD7-B3 motherboard, slapped the Intel Z68 chipset on it and called it good. The problem with doing that is that it pretty much leaves out the features that separate Intel Z68 chipset from the P67 chipset. You would expect that the boards would be priced close to the same, but that is not the situation that we have here today.”
ASRock Z68 Extreme 4 @ SSD Review
“To say we have gone overboard on this review might just be a bit too accurate. In an effort to push this to its limits we have pushed it through some of the toughest tests available, to include 10 separate games for those avid gamers wondering how it would stand up to their use. If you are considering a serious motherboard for your enthusiast activities, ASRock may have finally put together the most complete motherboard available and at an excellent price point!”
Intel DH61AG @ MissingRemote
“In our first look several features were outlined besides the slim physique that make it especially interesting to the HTPC crowd; including a built in 19V DC power connector, mSATA support, eight channel analog line level audio and the brand new “HTPC” header which, with the right hardware can enable affordable HDMI CEC on the PC; today we couple it with a 2.7GHz 35 watt Core i5-2390T to find out if DH61AG makes good on the initial promise.”
