Gigabyte X58A-UD7 @ Motherboards.org
“GIGABYTE has really outdone itself with the X58A-UD7 motherboard. They name their boards by the number of features on the board and the X58A-UD7 has the most features of any of their boards. This board supports the latest technologies including SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0.”
MSI 890GXM-G65 @ Motherboards.org
“The MSI 890GXM-G65 is an interesting board in that it has the features to be among the best in the business with the support for both USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps. The bundle is rather lackluster as I would like to have seen at least two SATA Data cables, one is a bit disappointing.”
ECS H55H-I Mini ITX @ PureOC
“The ECS H55H-I is a mini ITX motherboard that offers respectable features and performance to value-conscious consumers.
