Gigabyte EX58-UD4P

Gigabyte EX58-UD4P @ Neoseeker

“Gigabyte’s line of X58 motherboards has widely broadened since the December launch and what we have today is their EX58-UD4P which falls in the upper mid-range of their line-up. It carries Gigabyte’s Ultra Durable 3 and Dynamic Energy Saving technologies along with three-way video card configuration. This is also the board used in Gigabyte’s own overclocking competition, showing they really stand behind this product.”

“It seems of late Intel has stolen the spotlight well away from AMD and with the performance results of not only the Core 2 Duo and Quads based on the Penryn cores, but also the new Core i7, this has really put AMD on the back foot. This however hasn’t stopped them from pushing forward and while Phenom II isn’t all that we’d hoped for, it certainly does have its place, namely in the low cost PC/HTPC and cheaper gaming station markets.”

“Overall, this motherboard was exactly what I expected from a high-end LGA1366 motherboard. It had a plethora of USB ports, SATA ports, multi-GPU support, and DDR3 triple-channel support. After getting a replacement motherboard, we can safely say this board is definitely a great overclocker too. The price point might be a bit high for some to pay, but for everything that’s bundled, it’s a decent deal for those who can afford it.”

“AM3 CPU’s have a dual channel DDR2 and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller. This means that you can slap one of the newest AMD Phenom II processors in your already setup AM2+ boards and continue to use your existing hardware and later on you an upgrade to an AM3 board with DDR3 and newer technologies and still keep your CPU; it’s just that simple and AMD has really thought of everything.”

ASUS P6T SE

“So what differentiates this board from the many other ASUS P6 motherboards on the market? The P6T SE is one of the few X58 motherboards currently available on the open market, which does not support SLI out of the box. Balancing that out is the lesser pricing on the board compared to other X58 boards and the multitude of tweaks the board has available through the BIOS.”

“Today we are going to take a look at M61PME-S2P, a new motherboard from Gigabyte for socket AM2 and AM2+ processors from AMD, based on GeForce 6100 chipset with nForce 430 south bridge.”

“The ECS A790GXM-AD3 brings new technology to those who are on a tight budget but do not want to be left in the dust when it comes to their hardware. Competitively priced however, there are a some shortfalls that will not fully give you an edge. In the video benchmarks, the scores were close, but sometimes the ECS board was slower than the MSI board with the same chipset.”

“Our review of the 790GX-G65 left us with a nice taste in our mouth. Made us want the dessert of MSI motherboards. Well in this case, careful what you wish for because you just might get it! Today we are reviewing MSI’s latest in AMD motherboards; The MSI 790FX-GD70. There where a few things that snagged us from before and MSI fixed all these little problems in their enthusiast board and even added a whole lot more that we didn’t expect.”

ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo

“ASUS motherboards are favorites of me and Doc Overclock. In fact, almost every motherboard in our personal systems has an ASUS motherboard installed on them. The P5Q Pro Turbo is a good motherboard, with performance, features and a great price. You can purchase this board online from Newegg for under $120, meaning that the board has the ASUS quality and features but for a mainstream price.”

ASUS P5Q-VM

“This motherboard has typical exterior and functionality for models with integrated graphics; it’s a standard microATX motherboard, not overloaded with controllers and connectors. This PCB layout has practically no drawbacks. We have only one ideological gripe with it — the single PCI slot.”
