ASUS Rampage II Extreme X58 @ PC Per
“Serious overclockers know that monitoring voltages via the BIOS and any on-board monitoring logic doesn’t give them as much control as using a reliable multimeter so ASUS has put all the necessary leads doing this in on easy to access location.”
DFI X48-T3RS @ MadShrimps
“A bit late to the market, but, as always, DFI comes in with a bang. Today we have a look at the latest addition to the DFI lineup, in the form of the (ultra) high end X48-T3RS. Does it have what it takes to beat Asus et al? Read on to find out.”
ECS GF9300T-A @ OC Club
“There are some mainstream motherboards on the market that overclock very well. The GF9300T-A is not one of them if you are using a 1333 FSB processor. With limited overclocking options in the BIOS, its very difficult to push your components higher than 1333 FSB. With that said, I gave it my best shot. The board did recognize the E8600 and set its speed correctly but the Mushkin memory was automatically set to 800MHz.”
Gigabyte GA-EX58 UD5P @ Guru3D
“For those of you who missed the little bomb that Intel dropped earlier on, X58 is the enthusiast high-end chipset for motherboards. Enthusiast also means expensive and I won’t lie to you, it would make more sense to just sit it out and wait for cheaper chipset to arrive.”
ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe @ TBreak
“Asus has built an AM2+ socket motherboard based on the AMD 790FX chipset and the product of that is the Asus M3A79-T Deluxe motherboard set to support a quad CrossFireX setup with 140w CPU support.”
Intel DX58SO @ Hardware Secrets
“Intel DX58SO (codename “Smackover”) is one of the first socket 1366 motherboards for the forthcoming Core i7 processor that Intel will be launching, based on Intel X58 chipset with ICH10R south bridge chip. Let’s take a look on this motherboard and what you should expect from it.”
ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe @ Motherboards.org
“The combination of the 790FX chipset and SB750 has some benefits including ACC meaning that the 790FX chipset now is on par with the 790GX in terms of overclocking features. ASUS has hit a home run with the ASUS M3A79-T board with excellent features, excellent performance and excellent overclocking.”
ASUS P6T Deluxe @ Guru3D
“Next to that, it’s just an amazing piece of machinery to look at. Nice black PCB, extravagant connectivity, SLI/ Crossfire compatible, passively cooled. And if you opt the P6T Deluxe OC Palm version, you’ll even receive an external little LCD screen showing off the latest system info, widgets and overclocking tools at hand. Very cool.”
Intel X58 Extreme DX58SO @ Guru3D
“Intel DX58SO motherboard test. This review is going to cover the basics of Intel’s X58 mainboard chipset. The key features of course bringing support to QPI, triple-channel memory and Socket 1366 thus Core i7 processors. the mainboard used is Intel’s reference Extreme DX58SO motherboard.”
ASUS P6T Deluxe @ PC Per
“And how can we forget that this is the FIRST STANDARD MOTHERBOARD TO OFFICIALLY SUPPORT BOTH CROSSFIRE AND SLI to hit our test bench? We have seen a couple of complete system builds used “special” drivers to offer the same experience and yes the Skulltrail platform from Intel last year also had SLI/CrossFire support but was weighed down by extreme component pricing.”
