ASUS Crosshair III Formula @ Legit Reviews
“The ASUS Crosshair III Formula motherboard essentially takes the 790FX M4A79T-Deluxe PCB and tweaks it a bit while adding additional features and bumping the quality in the components. Like all Republic of Gamer boards the Crosshair III Formula comes with an add-in audio module providing cleaner sound. There is also the LCD Poster which provides diagnostic information and a menu for browsing through the options provided in TweakIt.”
X58 Motherboard Round-Up @ Overclockers Club
“The overclocked scores give us a better idea of how each board performs. In Apophysis, MSI’s X58 Platinum takes first place by one. The top performer in WinRAR is another MSI board. In just about every benchmark the MSI Eclipse Plus outperforms the competition. For this round I’d say the MSI Eclipse takes the cake, hands down, for both the stock and overclocked scores let’s move on to the next set of benchmarks.”
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R @ X-Bit labs
“Our today’s hero is Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R (rev. 1.6) mainboard. It is interesting because it is the junior model in the Gigabyte family on Intel X58 Express chipset. Moreover, so far this is the only Gigabyte board that has a revision 1.6 follow the startup revision 1.0. Off the top of my head, I can say that the new model uses a new network controller and chipset cooling system.”
Gigabyte GA-GC330UD @ TweakTown
“Atom has now got a boost to its design. Originally it was designed with a single core using hyper threading; the same technology Pentium 4 used to turn a single physical core into two logical processors. But it still wasn’t enough. It seems that there is no real substitute for a true second core. Atom 330 is Intel’s answer to a dual core low power CPU based around the Atom architecture.”
ECS A785GM-M @ PC Perspective
“The main features that will really draw consumer attention to the A785GM-M is the integration of ATI’s HD 4200 graphics on the motherboard. While we weren’t able to play some of the top FPS games on the market at decent resolutions, we were able to play games like Quake Live and F.E.A.R. at relatively high resolutions. The addition of HDMI and high-quality audio options makes this board ideal for those upgrading their HTPCs to handle high-definition content.”
