ASUS M4A78T-E @ Au-Ja!
“AMD’s Phenom II is far better than the first edition: Cool’n’Quiet can be used without any major performance drops and the overall performance has improved. And if you grab one of the AM3 models, you can use fast DDR3-1333 or even DDR3-1600 memory. We grabbed the ASUS M4A78T-E which is based on AMD’s 790GX chipset and had a look if we could get additional performance out of DDR3 memory.”
Gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREME @ FutureLooks
“The EPIC battle to be the best continues on the Intel side of the field. Today, we have the GIGABYTE EX58-Extreme Ultra Durable 3 Motherboard built with their latest Ultra Durable 3 design. Based on the experience I had with it’s cousin, the EX58-UD3R, I have high hopes for this product as well.”
ASUS M4N72-E @ Motherboards.org
“The ASUS M4N72-E motherboard has its strong and weak points. The strong points include SLI support, support for AM3 CPUs out of the box as it’s a new design and a solid bundle. Performance was lower than other chipsets but that is due to the fact that the nForce 750a is not the top of the line NVIDIA chipset for the AMD market, the 780a is the chipset for that catago
MSI 790FX GD70 @ Au-Ja!
“The next stop for our AM3 CPUs is the MSI 790FX GD70. This mainboard combines DDR3 with AMD’s 790FX chipset. You have an onboard dial to increase or decrease the clock rate, one of the USB ports can be used to connect eSATA devices as well and there is one big cooler mounted on top of the northbridge and MOSFETs.”
ASUS Rampage II Extreme @ PureOC
“There are several manufacturers that offer various products in the new X58 chipset, and today we’ll be looking at what is probably the most coveted (and expensive) one: the ASUS Rampage II Extreme. It is manufactured and marketed as a high-end, enthusiast board, and features some unique goodies that should pique the curiosity of even the most discerning consumer out there.”
Gigabyte EP45C-DS3R @ Hardware Secrets
“Let’s have a look on Gigabyte EP45C-DS3R, a mainstream socket 775 motherboard for Intel processors, targeted mainly to Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors.”
MSI 790FX-GD70 @ Neoseeker
“The MSI 790FX-GD70 has a nice layout as well as a great looks, even considering the brown PCB. The quad PCI-E x16 that can house dual-slot graphics cards is fantastic for multi-GPU setups. This motherboard also has many great features such as the overclocking knob allowing the user to play with the base clock anytime.”
ECS A790GXM @ Guru3D
“We will review the A790GXM-AD3 motherboard from the folks at ECS Elitegroup. This article will entail two primary focuses. The first being a review on this motherboard, the second… to observe if we actually see a performance increase from DDR2 over DDR3 memory.”
Jetway X-BLUE P45 @ PCShopTalk
“In this review I will test the X-BLUE-P45 motherboard from Jetway, which is one of their low-cost motherboards with this chipset and see how it performs compared to the MSI Memory Lover motherboard, reviewed recently.”
ASUS P5Q3 @ Benchmark Reviews
“Launched last summer by Intel, the P45 chipset has quickly grown in popularity, replacing the aging P35 chipset. Intended for a mid to upper mainstream consumer base, the P45 chipset boasts some impressive features, such as: full DDR2/DDR3 support, 20 PCI Express 2.0 lanes, ATI Crossfire support, and a 65nm manufacturing process.”
