Sapphire Pure PC-AM2RX780 @ OC Club
“For the purpose of this review I testing overclocking on both options and ended up with the same result both ways. In the end the Sapphire board did not like any changes at all in the bus speed, not even 201Mhz, but this board was the most liberal I have had with the multiplier, allowing me to raise it up to 16x for a whopping 3.20GHz on the Phenom x4 9850 Black Box.”
Foxconn BlackOps @ X-Bit Labs
“In January 2008 at the CES show Foxconn demonstrated for the first time a new Quantum Force mainboard on Intel X48 Express also known as Foxconn BlackOps. Today we are going to take a closer look at this unique product in our new review!”
ASRock AOD790GX/128M @ Think Computers
“This chipset was so successful that AMD decided to design a new chipset based on it, giving it a higher clock speed, sideport memory, and upgrade to ATI 3300 integrated graphics. Along with the new NB, AMD has also built a new Southbridge, known as the SB750, which not only adds RAID5, but has added a new feature called Advanced Clock Calibration (ACC), that AMD claims will allow much higher overclocking of the Phenom CPU. Will ASRock’s version of the 790GX, in the AOD790GX/128M, be a winner? Read on to see!”
EVGA 790i SLI FTW @ OC Club
“Overclocking the EVGA 790i SLI FTW was very similar to the Striker II Extreme. Both boards reacted similarly when pushed with a quad core CPU and high speed DDR3 memory. Overclocking the memory takes a little patience but can be done. On this board I was able to push the test memory to 2100MHz but just could not find the stability I needed.”
MSI X48 Platinum @ PureOC
“What a good motherboard really gives you is potential–potential to take that pile of parts you ordered and make it into something great. A motherboard is truly one of those things that must be greater than the sum of its parts in order to be successful. Today we’re looking at the MSI X48 Platinum motherboard to see if it succeeds or squanders that potential.”
ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe @ Digit-Life
“Speaking of PCs with three or more graphics cards, they are for hardcore gamers. Percentage of such users is very low. Nevertheless, ASUS does not complain about the lack of attention to this motherboard. Most users consider buying this model (and other similar products) for computers that can be upgraded in future.”
Gigabyte EP45-Extreme @ TweakTown
“P45 not only supports true Crossfire thanks to its twin x8 PCIe slots, but it also manages to support DDR2 and DDR3 along with the latest ICH10R Southbridge and PCI Express 2.0 support. The best thing is that all this falls into the mid-range PCs price point. Who could argue with that? Today GIGABYTE has sent us their latest high-end offering, based on the P45 chipset. This baby is dubbed the EP45-Extreme and we will show you why soon.”
Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 @ TBreak
“Today we take a look at Gigabyte’s highest-end X48 chipset based motherboard- the X48T-DQ6. Based on DDR3, this board features Gigabyte’s “6-Quad”technologies that, among other things, allow minimize power consumption with maximum performance.”
Supermicro X7DWA-N @ PCReview
“This EATX board is built using the newest 5400 Seaburg chipset with 1600FSB support built in. The layout is a typical EATX 12×13” design and like previous versions uses 24, 8 and 4 pin connections to the motherboard. With this new series, a 4 pin Molex connector is added to the board for users with higher power needs.”
ECS P45T-A @ PCStats
“Built with the Intel P45 Express and Intel ICH10R chipsets, the ECS P45T-A motherboard supports all Socket 775 Intel processors running with a Front Side Bus of 800/1066/1333 MHz. That includes the new generation of 45nm ‘Yorkfield’ and ‘Wolfdale’ Core 2 Duo processors. Gamers who plan on running a pair of CrossfireX enabled videocards in tandem (say, a pair of Radeon HD4850’s for example), will find two PCI Express 2.0 compliant PCIe x16 slots at their disposal.”
