ASRock P55 Deluxe @ PCPer
“This board truly has a ton of features, and at $149, it is a steal for users looking to upgrade to SATA 6GB/s as well as triple graphics cards with Eyefinity or 3DVision. The dual heatsink mounting holes for two different socket types was a very nice touch as well as the board’s overall layout and construction.”
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula @ PureOC
“Featuring the new AMD 890FX chipset, the ASUS Crosshair IV Formula looks to bring a litany of impressive features and performance to the Phenom faithful. Let’s take a closer look at this new motherboard and see just what it can do on a flagship hex-core chip.”

“ASUS has an interesting board here with the Z8PE-D12X. The motherboard can take all current Intel Xeon CPUs including the recently released 56xx series that have 6 cores with HyperThreading. The inclusion of features including Flex-E, PIKE and the ability to have two workstation video cards installed is excellent.”
Foxconn A7DA-S 3.0 @ eTeknix
“This particular board comes with support for the latest AMD Phenom II processors, 4 DDR3 slots and uses the AMD 790GX and SB750 chipset and has integrated 7.1 channel HD audio, Gigabit LAN and onboard Radeon 3300 graphics.”
ASRock 880G Extreme3 AMD 880G @ OCWorkBench
“The ASRock 880G Extreme, shares something similar to the 890GX Extreme3. Both supports the ASRock UCC chip unlocking feature. Throw in a Phenom II X3 710 and it becomes a quad core with the feature turned on in BIOS. Likewise a Phenom II 550BE will become a quad core too. This is only made possible with the UCC chip has the ACC feature found in SB750 no longer works on the SB850.”
ASUS P7P55D-E Deluxe @ OCIA
“ASUS had a huge setup at CES, displaying both consumer electronics such as laptops and netbooks as well as individual components like graphics cards and motherboards. We were naturally more interested in the component side of things and were given a full tour of their new and upcoming products.”
ASUS ROG Crosshair IV Formula @ OC3D
“The Crosshair IV Formula sports an extensive feature list. To some, the ROG modcons might be considered “gimmicky”, but every single one of it’s utilities have genuine purposes. For novices, the automated overclocking functions (Turbo Key and TurboV) are absolutely invaluable.”
