Intel DX58SO2 @ PC Perspective
“Intel’s Extreme Series motherboards continue to follow a blue-on-black color scheme that gives the appearance of being high-end end without the flash of a lot of third party boards. The Skull logo that started with Intel’s Skulltrail platform continues on and give the board “edge” I guess if such a thing sounds reasonable…”
MSI 890FXA-GD70 @ iXBT Labs
“Like all motherboards all such class, MSI 890FXA-GD70 offers a few nice extras like a POST indicator and onboard controls. Controls, by the way, are touch-activated. Aside from the Power and Reset buttons, there’s one that enables dynamic CPU VRM phase management, and a dial for fine-tuning clock rates.”
ASUS Rampage III Black Edition @ Bjorn3D
“Considering that the aging X58 chipset has already been replaced, we were surprised to see yet another offering in the X58 lineup, even with the recent release of Sandy Bridge and the Z68 chipset. However, looking over the specs and feature, on this board we would dare to say that the X58 is back in black.”
ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution @ Think Computers
“ASUS’s P8P67 line of motherboards is huge, as of writing this review there are currently 10 P8P67 motherboards in the lineup. Today we are going to be checking out the ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution board. The “WS” implies that it is a workstation board but the “Revolution” means this board is not just made for standard workstation use, but in-home use and gaming applications.”
ASUS P8P67 PRO @ TechPowerUp
“Bridging the gap from mainstream to enthusiast product lines, the ASUS P8P67 PRO is a natural fighter, built to meet the needs of almost any user. Featuring ASUS’ new DIGI+ VRM, and several other uncommon features, and seeking to beat up the competition, the ASUS P8P67 PRO arrives on our testbench, ready for battle.”
ASRock Z68 Pro3 @ Hardware Secrets
“So far, ASRock has released three motherboards based on the new Intel Z68 chipset, two for the mainstream market (Z68 Pro3 and Z68 Pro3-M, which is a Micro-ATX version of the Z68 Pro3), and one for the high-end market (Z68 Extreme4). While the Z68 Extreme4 offers three PCI Express x16 slots, the Z68 Pro3 has only one. Let’s take a look at this model from ASRock.”
ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe @ TweakTown
“When I tested the GIGABYTE E350N-USB3 in February I was really impressed with what GIGABYTE and AMD were able to do with the E-350 based Fusion platform. One thing really bugged me about the board, though. The fact that it used active cooling was quite a disappointment, because it just felt like it didn’t need it.”
MSI Z68A-GD80 @ Hardware Secrets
“So far, MSI has released only two motherboards based on the new Intel Z68 chipset, one for the mainstream market (Z68MA-ED55, Micro-ATX, USD 160), and one for the high-end market (Z68A-GD80, USD 240). Let’s take a look at the MSI Z68A-GD80 (B3).”
ECS HDC-I Mini-ITX Fusion @ MadShrimps
“The HDC-I Fusion Board from ECS has a lot of connectivity options right from the factory: Bluetooth, WiFi, one eSATA 6GB/s along with 4 SATA III ports; two USB 3.0 ports are also offered. The “Turbo” option can be enabled in the BIOS and gives the system quite a noticeable boost.”
ASRock Z68 Pro3 @ TweakTown
“Priced at $199.99, the ASRock Z68 Extreme4 is a very well-priced product for something that let us achieve over 5GHz from our 2600k. Compared to the competition, it’s an aggressive price point, but there’s no doubt that some people don’t even need all the features that are on offer on the Z68 Extreme4.”
