ASUS P6X58D-E @ OCIA
“That said, if you want the fastest system currently available and you want it right now, Socket 1366 is where it’s at. Based on Intel’s X58 chipset, Socket 1366 was released in late 2008 and has seen continued support from both Intel and board manufacturers ever since. Today we will be taking a look at an X58 board from ASUS, the P6X58D-E.”
Gigabyte X58-USB3 @ PureOC
“Priced at about $180 USD, the Gigabyte X58-USB3 is probably the least expensive X58 boards out there that has USB 3.0 included as a feature. There isn’t SATA 6G here unfortunately, but that won’t likely affect many users with a modest budget anyways. In fact, the X58-USB3 looks and handles very much like its higher-priced siblings in the Gigabyte X58 lineup, but for far less money.”
Gigabyte P67A-UD4 Preview @ Guru3D
“This motherboard is using a 12+2 phases design cooled by passive grey heatsinks. Of course features like SATA 6G and USB 3 are available as well, and guess what, the board supports SLI and Crossfire, albeit in a x8:x8 configuration. There is a more to be found with three additional PCIe x1 slots and two traditional PCI slots.”
Silicon Power XPower DDR3 2000 @ Bjorn3D
“Today we are reviewing Silicon Power’s high speed dual channel XPower DDR3 2000 (PC3-16000) RAM, compatible with Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 platforms, and has a CAS of 9. It is part of their overclocking lineup, designed for enthusiasts. Other models in their lineup include DDR3 1600 (CAS 8) and DDR3 1800/2133 (CAS 9). Our review sample comes with 2 sticks, each 2GB.”
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7 First Look @ PCStats
“PCSTATS is giving you a first look at the new flagship Intel P67 motherboard from Gigabyte called the GA-P67A-UD7. There’s a lot for computer enthusiasts, gamers and overclockers to get excited about with this particular board, not the least of which is 3-way SLI/Crossfire videocard support, a Port 80 card, (10) USB 3.0 ports, (6) SATA 6GB/s ports and a good dose of engineering…”
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 @ X-Bit Labs
“We have discussed a very appealing mainboard from Gigabyte today. The GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0) comes in a robust and informative package with good accessories. It has a handy PCB design and broad functionality, traditionally surpassing that of same-class mainboards from other manufacturers.”
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @ PCStats
“Code named ‘Thuban’, the new 3.2GHz AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor introduces with it a dynamic overclocking technology called TurboCore. In typical computing situations AMD TurboCore will increase the speed of up to three of the Phenom II X6’s CPU cores from 3.2GHz to 3.6GHz, while simultaneously increasing processor voltage and dropping the speed of the remaining three unloaded cores.”
AMD Phenom II X6 1075T @ Legit Reviews
“The AMD Phenom II X6 1075T may not be the fastest processor out there, but it gets the job done and it gets it done well. With the rumors of the new AMD Phenom II X6 1100T processor coming soon, AMD has lowered the price to only $199.99. This could mean that the Phenom II X6 1075T may just offer the best bang for the buck right now.”
Mushkin Radioactive PC3 12800 4GB @ OC Club
“If you need the extra bandwidth and are willing to sacrifice its tighter timings to achieve this, this RAM can really get up there frequency-wise. Most RAM in the 2000+ MHz range runs Cas 9 anyway, so you’re really not trading too much performance to loosen up this RAM and crank up the frequency if needed.”
PNY XLR8 6GB DDR3-1600 @ PureOC
“For the user looking to harness the power of triple channel memory but without an extreme price tag, then the PNY XLR8 6GB DDR3-1600 CL8 memory kit looks very promising. Priced at what looks to be the least expensive performance modules at this speed and latency, these XLR8 (read “accelerate”) sticks appear to offer some excellent value.”
