Gigabyte X58A-UD3R @ Hot Hardware
“The X58A-UD3R we’re reviewing today is a good example of Gigabyte’s competitive product positioning. The board’s feature loadout is excellent given its ~$200 price point-the question we’ll be looking to answer is whether or not the company cut any corners to hit its target…”
ASUS P7H55D-M EVO @ OC Club
“One thing it did lack was that it couldn’t match the H57 model in overclocking. This was a bit surprising as both boards use ASUS’s Xtreme Design and share a very similar VRM area. Still, the ASUS P7H55D-M EVO was only 200MHz shy of the 4.5GHz overclock of the more high-end board and it was able to produce the third best overclock this chip has seen.”
Gigabyte GA-770TA-UD3 @ iXBT Labs
“Motherboards like GA-770TA-UD3 show that company’s technical marketing department earns its salt. Today’s model is clearly designed for gradual upgrade, for users who want to continue using peripherals they already have and be able to use new devices as well.”
MSI 890FXA-GD70 @ Bjorn3D
“With plenty of AMD 890FX based boards to chose from, it’s becoming quite the task to pick the right premium 890FX board from the plethora of vendors. ASRock, ASUS, Biostar and Gigabyte all have their own variants of AMD’s latest enthusiast chipset, so making a choice is a bit difficult. In addition to those choices, MSI also has their own option with the 890FXA-GD70.”
Foxconn A88GM Deluxe @ TweakTown
“Foxconn has sent us the A88GM Deluxe motherboard that features the 880G for us to play around with. This Micro ATX board still contains six SATA 3.0 ports, GBe LAN, 7.1 audio and an integrated Radeon 4250. What makes this even better is that you get all of this for less than $100.”
ASUS AT310NT-I Deluxe @ Motherboards.org
“ASUS has a solid product here in the ASUS AT3IONT-I motherboard with the basis for a solid Home Theater PC with full Blu-ray loss-less playback and the ability to play games with visual fidelity unmatched by the competing Intel chipset.”
Gigabyte 870A-UD3 @ Motherboards.org
“GIGABYTE has done a decent job with their 870A-UD3 motherboard. The features including SATA 3, USB 3 and USB 3X Power is excellent additions to the standard motherboard feature set. Performance was just below that of an 890GX chipset which is to be expected.”
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9 @ Hexus
“However, whilst logical, conservative buyers will look elsewhere, there are always those who demand the very best. If price isn’t an issue, X58 boards literally don’t come much bigger or better than Gigabyte’s GA-X58A-UD9.”
