Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 @ Bjorn3D
“The launch of the AMD “Scorpius” platform for the performance desktop PC featuring the upcoming Bulldozer processor is finally in motion at Computex 2011 with the releasing of the AMD 9 series chipset. While we have to wait a little longer until we can get our hands on the Bulldozer, the launching of the 9 series chipset from various motherboard manufacturers means that the processor should be coming very soon.”
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO @ Hardware Secrets
“So far, ASUS has released five motherboard models based on the Intel Z68 chipset. With prices ranging from USD 180 to USD 360, there is a model for any kind of user. Today we are taking a look at one of the mid-range models, the P8Z68-V PRO.”
MSI Z68MA-ED55 @ TweakTown
“Step in the $159.99 US MSI Z68MA-ED5, a board that offers the good looks we saw on its bigger brother, the Z68A-GD80, but in a smaller form factor. So we find ourselves wondering; if we spend a bit more money, can we get a board that aims at performance a bit more than price like the ASRock option did?”
ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Performance @ TweakTown
“While I didn’t review the original Fatal1ty P67 Professional, I have had the pleasure of using it as it was the board in our TweakTown Commander PC Benchmarked article we did in April. It was a board that not only looked great, but offered some great performance. Today we’ll see if the cheaper “Performance” model can stand out.”
ASUS P8H67-I Deluxe @ Tech Report
“Mini-ITX motherboards don’t get more loaded than Asus’ P8H67-I Deluxe, which has a Sandy Bridge CPU socket, a PCIe x16 slot, four USB 3.0 ports, and both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. We take a closer look to see if it can run with the big boys.”
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro @ iXBT Labs
“ASUS P8Z68-V Pro supposedly fits between P8Z68-V and P8Z68 Deluxe. The “Pro” suffix hints at the mid-end or even entry-level nature. But despite that ASUS P8Z68-V Pro offers four USB 3.0 ports, four SATA-600 ports, Bluetooth, and supports SLI/CrossFire/Virtu. What else could you wish for?”
ASUS F1A75-M Pro @ eTeknix
“Today sees us putting the F1A75-M Pro motherboard from Asus through its paces to see what performance can be unlocked from these new APU’s and what is on offer in terms of features from this leading motherboard manufacturer.”
MSI Big Bang Marshal @ TweakTown
“MSI has had an interesting couple of years. During CES 2010 we saw them show off their new line of Big Bang motherboards with Lucid Logix’s Hydra chips on them. Unfortunately we saw this demo stutter through 3DMark Vantage. They were able to recover from that and managed to put out a few good boards with this package in them. We took a look at a couple of them here on TweakTown (and will probably look at more to come).”
ASUS P8Q67-M DO/CSM @ Hardware Secrets
“The Intel Q67 chipset is targeted to the enterprise segment, i.e., desktop computers inside a big corporation. It is basically an H67 chipset with remote management and security technologies, allowing system and network administrators to manage and maintain the computers inside the company remotely, significantly lowering maintenance costs and decreasing the time required to fix and update the computers.”
Foxconn H67A-S @ eTeknix
“Z68 has been on the market for quite some time, but not everyone is keen to jump onto the new platform due to its price and somewhat unneeded features. Obviously a lot of users will make use of the fantastic features that it has to offer, but others feel that paying for functionality that they don’t want or need is a pointless exercise.”
