“The Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7 is a premium AM3 motherboard, and enthusiasts will no doubt be looking at it as an option for AMD’s Thuban hex-core chips, particularly if SATA III and USB 3.0 are on the wish list of upgrade features.”

“Packed with an extensive list of features, it looks very familiar, and in fact it is essentially a Rampage III Extreme, but just a little “less Extreme”. It also comes with a lower price tag, though it’s not inexpensive by any stretch. As we’ve come to expect from ASUS in their Republic of Gamers product lineups, they bring top features, top performance, and usually top price tags as well.”

“The Biostar TA890GXB HD is an affordable 890GX solution in a micro-ATX form factor.  Don’t let the small size fool you, the TA890GXB HD is part of Biostar’s T-series enthusiast mainboard line featuring a host of enthusiast capabilities, like 3+1 power phase design, core unlocking, auto-overclock and support for 16GB dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 1600MHz.”

ASUS P7P55D

“Despite having many features that are pretty much useless, the ASUS P7P55D is a good example of what a budget P55 motherboard should be. It does not have all additional controllers like SATA 6 Gbps, USB 3.0, or the PLX PCI Express switch, but maintained the same build quality as its pricier brothers, including the important features like the solid state capacitors, 12-phase VRM circuitry and a well-designed layout.”

“The USB 3.0 controller comes with the P55 Deluxe 3 from the NEC home and listen to the name ‘MPD720200. Four fan connectors, in addition to the CPU fan are on the board found, including a further four pin connector. The Clear CMOS button on the I / O shield, power and reset button and the BIOS post code display on the main board layout are practical features of the ASUS P55 Deluxe 3…”

“Most hardware enthusiasts chose the modular route however there are times when having more on board is actually better.  In this review we will be looking at a MicroATX motherboard from Gigabyte called the GA-880GMA-UD2H.  This is a system board based around the AMD 880G chipset complete with and integrated HD 4250 GPU.”

“The overclockability of the board from the simple standpoint is renowned. 200+ BCLK just by upping the frequency, all voltages and timings left to auto, will be a huge sigh of relief for many budding overclockers or those looking to get a little extra performance out of their setups.”

Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6

“Overclocking is the art of running the system higher than what the manufacturer intended.  Even though the process of overclocking deals with precise voltages and numbers, it is more “art” than “science” and requires skill, experience, luck and most importantly, a stable platform to overclock in.”
