ECS A780GM-A @ PCStats
“The ECS A780GM-A motherboard is an affordable media center platform based on the mainstream AMD 780G chipset. This spunky little integrated graphics chipset is ideal for home theatre PC/media applications, or budget-friendly workstation PC’s because of its built in Radeon HD 3200-class videocard. The AMD 780G brings several new technologies to the table when paired with AMD’s Phenom AM2+ processors, without abandoning support for socket AM2 Athlon64/X2/FX CPUs.”
DFI LanParty DK 790GX-M2RS @ MadShrimps
“DFI has taken the latest AMD 790GX chipset and loaded it on a flashy motherboard fitted with custom cooling and fully fleshed out BIOS which allows you to tweak almost every aspect of the AM2+ platform. Let us find out if the engineers at DFI were able to extract more performance from the 790GX chipset compared to the competition.”
Gigabyte EX58-Extreme @ Motherboards.org
“The EX58-Extreme motherboard overclocked to nearly 4GHz, the second highest we’ve seen from an X58 motherboard so far. Gigabyte’s board is worthy of a Hot Product award with only the fact that it didn’t overclock as high as the fastest board we have tested keeps it from getting the Editor’s Choice award.”
Intel X58 Extreme DX58SO @ Motherboards.org
“Intel has a lot to be happy about with their new CPU and X58 family launch, firmly taking over the enthusiast market with new processors that are clearly faster than the last generation. The DX58SO motherboard is nearly as fast as the other boards on the platform, with minor differences due to the board manufacturer tweaks in performance.”
ECS X58B-A Black @ Motherboards.org
“The ECS X58B-A Black Series motherboard is available online for a price of only $260. This compares favorably in the price department to other X58 motherboards which have a heftier premium. As we move into 2009 we will likely see the prices of these motherboards reach a more mainstream level allowing more people to use them.”
EVGA X58 SLI @ http://www.guru3d.com/article/evga-x58-sli-review/Guru3D
“Today we’ll test the fifth X58 motherboard in a row, this time from the folks at eVGA. They recently released their eVGA X58 SLI motherboard loaded with features. Tagged with a 299 USD sales price this motherboard seem to be very impressive. But since it’s eVGA, they decided that this motherboard should be all about overclocking, and nothing else.”
Foxconn X58 Quantum Force BloodRage @ MadShrimps
“Foxconn has moved aggressively forward in the retail market, previously only OEM supplier they are now pushing hard to get their brand recognized by end users. Their latest motherboard is based on Intel high end X58 chipset. Their naming schemes are not a mumbo jumbo of numbers and letters, but actually really eye-catching, like their P35 MARS, X48 Blackops, and now the X58 Blood Rage.”
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6 @ PCStats
“In addition to the P45 chipset’s inherent PCI Express 2.0 and dual videocard Crossfire support, Gigabyte’s EP45-DQ6 motherboard boasts no less than four gigabit network ports, ten SATA channels, three IEEE1394 Firewire and twelve USB2.0 ports! Follow along as PCSTATS reviews the performance, overclocking and ‘Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced’ power saving features of Gigabyte’s GA-EP45-DQ6 motherboard, an enthusiast platform that packs in every feature you can think of.”
ASUS P5Q Deluxe @ IXBT Labs
“ASUS P5Q Deluxe motherboard is a good example of a top model, which does not irritate common users with its exotic features for ‘hardcore gamers’ and the like. Four LAN ports are twice as cool as two ports, of course, and six PCIEx16 slots are approximately three times as ‘powerful’ as two standard slots. But this motherboard works out its high price not resorting to quantitative measures.”
DFI LANParty JR P45-T2RS @ HardwareZone
“That just leaves a very, very niche scenario where one would need a mATX board without an option for integrated graphics – LAN gaming machines, or to be more specific, portable LAN PCs. For those LAN party enthusiasts who lug their own systems to such game gatherings, DFI has just the right solution with a mATX motherboard built around Intel’s mainstream P45 chipset, the new LANParty JR P45-T2RS.”
