Gigabyte GA-EP45T-EXTREME @ HardwareZone
“Aptly christened with an ‘EXTREME’ moniker, the Gigabyte GA-EP45T-EXTREME is based on the new Intel P45 chipset and matched with the similarly fresh ICH10R Southbridge. Those who know their Gigabyte boards would tell from the ‘T’ in the name that this a DDR3 board. Gigabyte also has a DDR2 version that is identical except for the memory support.”
ASRock K10N780SLIX3-WiFi @ Think Computers
“ASRock has placed the nForce 780a SLI on their flagship AM2+ board, the K10N780SLIX3-Wifi, only one of a small handful of nForce 780a SLI boards on the market. Actually, this one is not yet for sale in the states. A quick glance at this board will tell you it isn’t the typical ASRock motherboard with some features you might expect from Asus, Gigabyte, or the like.”
MSI P45 Platinum v. ASUS Maximus II Formula @ MadShrimps
“In this article we’ll focus on what the MSI P45 Platinum and Asus Maximus II Formula can bring us in terms of performance, overclocking and the performance gained from overclocking. We’ll be giving you basic pointers for obtaining better results and will spend a little time on the energy-saving technology used on these boards.”
ECS P45T-A Black Edition @ TBreak
“ECS’ Black Edition motherboards give a reasonably high end motherboard factor with a price that is extremely affordable. Its certainly a step-up from their usual low-priced motherboards and today we look at their recently launched Intel P45 chipset solution modeled as the P45T-A Black Edition.”
ECS GF8200A Black Series @ Big Bruin
“The BIOS might not offer the most exhaustive set of tweaking options, but you do get more than you might expect. Couple the overclocking potential with onboard reset and power buttons, as well as other desirable features for desktop and HTPC usage, and the GF8200A definitely has an appeal that can cover a wide array of users.”
MSI P45 Neo3 @ BIOS
“MSI’s P45 Neo3 is a good value motherboard if you’re looking to go green. It’s not suited to high-end gamers though, due to its lack of nVidia SLI support, and there’s no WLAN or Bluetooth chipsets. Some may also need a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller. There isn’t an onboard speaker for diagnostics, either.”
ASUS M3N78 PRO @ Bjorn3D
“The rationale behind NVIDIA’s decision is that while we need a super powerful graphics card in games, the computer system is actually not going to need all that graphical power while it is running desktop applications. In many cases, enthusiasts are using computers for web browsing, working, and running non-graphically intensive applications.”
ASUS P5N-D @ X-Bit Labs
“Today we are going to talk about an LGA 775 mainboard from ASUS based on Nvidia nForce 750i SLI chipset. We will not only checkout the board and its features but will also discuss the EPU technology and perform extensive power consumption tests.”
EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW @ X-Bit Labs
“We will discuss another mainboard on Nvidia nForce 750i SLI chipset. During our first look type of tests we wrongly assumed it could not do well during overclocking. We are going to check out its real potential today and see how good it is.”
Intel DX48BT2 @ Motherboards.org
“For the hardware enthusiast that wants to overclock their Intel CPU there are other boards on the market using the same chipset that do the job very well. Intel dominates the CPU and motherboard market with their Core 2 series of CPUs and their various motherboard chipsets.”
