MSI 890GXM-G65 @ OCIA
“While many 890GX boards utilize a full size ATX format, MSI’s initial offering is the 890GXM-G65, a microATX style. Although the 890GX offers integrated graphics, it also has less PCIE lanes compared to an equivalent FX board. Just like the 785G, the 890GX uses the RV620 graphics core, which supports DirectX 10.1, Shader Model 4.1 and a host of video decoding and acceleration formats.”
4-Way Intel H55 Motherboard Shootout @ TechSpot
“There are a number of quality H55 motherboards available at reasonable prices. Both Asus and Gigabyte have been very competitive with their products in this regard. The Asus P7H55-M Pro for example costs just $100, while the Gigabyte H55M-UD2H is just slightly more expensive at $105.”
Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5 @ MadShrimps
“Gigabyte announced their new 333 lineup end of November 2009. At the 333 Event Show, however there was no word on the AMD CPU supporting motherboards. Focus was mainly on P55 and X58 series. Getting a speedy introduction to the wonders and miracles of AMD overclocking via HWBOT Country Cup I was eager to review one of Gigabyte’s latest high end offering, the 790FXTA-UD5.”
Intel DP55WB “Whitesburg” @ iXBT Labs
“Blame those who decided on the gradual rollout of the LGA1156 platform. As a result of which, P55 PCH was the only available chipset for the first six months. So, if Intel DP55WB remains one of the cheapest in the market, its life cycle will be long. If similar products based on H55 will be cheaper, then there will be no sense in buying this motherboard.”
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R @ OC Club
“The Gigabyte X58A-UD3R was a beautiful motherboard that gave me no trouble at all. For the price it is being pushed at this is a great deal – especially with the USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 support. SATA 3.0 should come in handy real soon with the advances that SSD drives are making, and the RAID-0 capabilities of this board in SATA 3.0 should mate well together.”
ECS A890GXM-A @ Pure OC
“We’ve got the ECS A890GXM-A, a full sized ATX board based on AMD’s new 890GX chipset. Featuring a sharp color scheme we’ve seen in other ECS Black Series boards, it certainly has the looks and the new brains, but has it got the brawn?”
ASUS P6X58D Premium @ OC Club
“I am very impressed with the Asus P6X58D Premium. This board was able to keep up with the big players on the market while even adding new features and keeping a lower price. With the upsides of the implementation of USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0Gb/s, Asus does a nice job future proofing this board.”
Asus P7H57D-V EVO @ X-Bit Labs
“We continue a series of LGA1156 mainboards, but this time we are going to focus on the new Intel H57 Express and Intel H55 Express chipsets. For that purpose we have slightly modified our testbed and changed the applications set, but we are going to dwell on these changes a little later. Now, however, we feel like talking a little bit about the new Clarkdale processors.”
