Point of View Ion 330 @ Guru3D
“Roughly half a year ago this was the news of the day, and today… finally the first products start to hit the market. One of many ION based products comes from Point of View. Next to nettops, and netbooks based on ION, for the somewhat more hardware freaks like us… they also offer an ION motherboard.”
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P @ Benchmark Reviews
“Last month, we took a look at AMD’s new mainstream processor: the Athlon II 250. We were impressed with both performance and cost. Today, Benchmark Reviews looks at an equally impressive motherboard: the Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P. Based on AMD’s 770 series chipset, the MA770T-UD3P is one of the first mainstream motherboards to offer full support for AM3 processors and DDR3 memory. Throw in Gigabyte’s Ultra Durable 3 manufacturing process and price tag of only $80, and it’s easy to see why this board is quickly becoming a budget-build favorite.”
ASUS Rampage Gene II @ MadShrimps
“We got the MicroATX Asus Rampage Gene II on the test bench. Does this PCB shrink mean it doesn’t have the full package on board? Is it really worth cashing out for its bigger brother, the Rampage Extreme II? Some questions that many users would like to see answered in this not so usual motherboard review. Most of you have seen a zillion of photos/reviews already of this piece of art.”
ASUS P7P55D Evo @ eTeknix
“In the first Preview on eTeknix we are proud to introduce the first LGA-1156 motherboard in the UK, the Asus P7P55D Evo, which is designed to use the new Lynnfield processors that Intel will hopefully be releasing in a few months time. The first of these should be Core i5 750 clocked at 2.66 GHz and confusingly we should also see i7 1156 socket processors in early 2010 with the 860 and 870 clocked at 2.8 GHz and 2.93 GHz respectively.”
ASUS Crosshair III Formula @ OC Club
“When it came to overclocking on the ASUS Crosshair III Formula, I found it easier and more effective to push the BUS speed versus raising the multiplier. When raising the multiplier, I was only able to push it to 18x for a total speed of 3.6GHz before I lost stability. However, by putting the voltage to the maximum of 1.5v, I was able to push the BUS speed all the way to 241MHz for a total overclocked speed of 3.854GHz, which is over 200MHz more than the previous attempt.”
MSI 790FX-GD70 @ FutureLooks
“So far we’ve reviewed two 790FX based motherboards for the AMD platform; one from GIGABYTE and the other from ASUS. They were both decent performers, with the GIGABYTE board edging out the ASUS and finding a home in my AMD test rig. However all this commotion lead to an email from MSI, saying “Hey! What about our board?” Though it doesn’t really come as much of a surprise, it turns out that they have a very competitive AMD 790FX based board as well.”
ASUS P6T SE @ PCShopTalk
“Today we are taking a look at the new ASUS P6T SE motherboard. The new P6T SE motherboard is the latest and newest edition from the ASUS P6T motherboards. The Second Edition P6T motherboard included all the necessities that a computer enthusiast looks for. Instead of adding new features to the P6T SE, ASUS decided to remove some features that are not that necessary. Because of this, consumers on the budget have a chance at buying a very nice motherboard without breaking their wallet.”
EVGA X58 3X SLI Classified @ Gamepyre
“Performance, Features, Stability, and Overclocking are the four criteria by which I base my opinion of a motherboard. From the performance point of view, the X58 3X SLI Classified takes it to a new level, besting the competition in a few of the benchmarks, virtually tying in some of the other benchmarks and losing by a small margin in the other benchmarks.”
Intel DX58SO @ X-Bit Labs
“Each mainboard has its own peculiarities, but they all have a lot of features in common. The main impression we have from Intel DX58SO is that it is totally different from all other solutions. The differences are present in every aspect: PCB layout, BIOS structure and functionality, even the accessories bundled with the board are different. A different mainboard doesn’t necessarily mean a bad mainboard, but it always implies unusual and therefore interesting.”
Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H @ HardwareZone
“AMD’s Phenom II has quickly established itself as a platform for more budget conscious consumers. What better than to pair it with an AM2+ 790GX motherboard that uses more affordable DDR2 memory? We give you the lowdown on the Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H.”
