ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z @ OCAholic
“The Maximus IV Gene-Z is a very well equipped mATX motherboard which is based on Intels Z68 chipset. Since ASUS have released with the Rampage II Gene the first mATX gaming board we’ve been following this trend. And the best thing about these boards is that they’re as fast as the bigger ones. Therefore we’re very curious how this board will perform in our benchmark parcours as well as during the overclocking part.”
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3-iSSD @ TechSpot
“Right out of the box, the Z68XP-UD3-iSSD features an Intel SSD 311 20GB attached via an mSATA connector. Many have complained that the Intel 20GB SLC SSD is too expensive, but we feel $240 for this motherboard/SSD combo is reasonable. How reasonable, you ask? That’s precisely what we intend determine.”
Biostar 1155 TZ68A+ @ OC3D
“Now LGA1155 has been around for a while and we’ve had the initial P67 influx, more and more manufacturers are shifting to the Z68 Chipset to power their LGA1155 socket motherboards. Unlike its P55 and, to a lesser degree, P67 brethren most of the Z68 boards we’ve seen have been definitely at the affordable end of the spectrum.”
MSI Big Bang Marshal P67 @ Vortez
“Big Bang Marshal is the ultimate motherboard offering that will keep power and extreme users entertained for a long, long time. It does come at a high cost but bearing in mind the componentry involved you can appreciate that this board is feature laden and very special.”
GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 @ HardOCP
“The GIGABYTE Z68X-UD7-B3 board leverages the latest Intel chipset, the Intel Z68 chipset, to deliver support for the following integrated technologies: the Intel LGA1155 Core i3, i5, and i7 processor lines; DDR3 memory operating in Dual Channel memory mode up to 1333MHz officially; and either NVIDIA SLI or ATI CrossFireX graphics mode using matched video cards.”
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P @ OC3D
“The specs of the UD3P are as all-inclusive as we’ve come to expect from the Z68 chipset. We’ve got support for up to 32GB of DDR3, should 8GB density ever become commonplace, along with good quality audio via the Realtek ALC889. Storage is handled by 4 SATA II ports and 4 SATA III 6Gbp/s ones.”
Gigabyte A75M-UD2H @ Hardware Secrets
“So far, Gigabyte has released five motherboard models based on the AMD A75 chipset for the new AMD A-Series of CPUs with integrated graphics chip (“APUs”), with prices ranging from USD 100 to USD 130. Let’s take a look at the A75M-UD2H, a microATX model that is sold for USD 110.”
ASUS F1A75-V Pro (AMD A75) @ TweakTown
“Today we’re going to be looking at our first A75 chipset motherboard in the form of the ASUS F1A75-V Pro. Of course, we’ve already done a big preview on this board that covered everything on the board and the BIOS; because of that we’ll be getting straight into the test system, talk about overclocking and get into the performance side of things. If you want to see more of the board, though, I’d recommend you check out our original preview piece, ASUS F1A75-V Pro (AMD A75) Llano Motherboard Preview.”
GIGABYTE A75-UD4H @ Bjorn3D
“When we looked at Llano, we determined that its CPU performance is similar to Athlon II X4 or Phenom II X4 840 processor, so why would a discrete GPU user choose Llano instead of an Athlon II X4 or Phenom II X4? Should the user choose a more expensive CPU for gaming? Firstly, Llano is more power efficient and runs much cooler than the 45nm processors. We’ll be testing the second question today.”
Gigabyte A75M-UD2H FM1 @ eTeknix
“As we already know, Bulldozer is what everyone is waiting for, but on the way saw a couple of stop gaps for AMD Fusion, the first being Brazos which gave us a low-powered APU that combined the best of both CPU and GPU and still to this date, we believe is perfect for HTPC or server usage. In fact, we believe that so much that we have the Asus E35M1-M Pro powering our server, whilst the Gigabyte E350N-USB3 sits comfortably in our HTPC so we certainly found a use for them.”
