ASUS M5A97 EVO AM3 @ TechPowerUp
“Released on May 31st by ASUS, the M5A97 EVO is a new AM3+ motherboard, boasting support for AMD’s upcoming AM3+ CPUs, as well, as current AM3 Phenom II CPUs. Sporting the now familiar black and blue color scheme from ASUS, the M5A97 EVO seeks, like its brethern, to turn the competition black and blue too.”
ECS A890GXM-A2 @ Neoseeker
“The A890GXM-A2 takes the strengths of the A890GXM-A previously reviewed, and adds what is missing: USB 3.0. Sounds well enough, but as you’ll see in our latest Socket AM3 motherboard review, we were taken for quite a ride with this offering!”
MSI P67A-GD80 @ PC Perspective
“MSI continues to impress us with the amount of custom features and applications they bundle with their products. The P67A-GD80 proved to be a supreme overclocker with almost unlimited possibilities for enthusiasts who like to tweak with voltages and test the stability of their entire system.”
Gigabyte GA-X58-USB3 @ eTeknix
“Gigabyte are widely regarded as one of the biggest computer component manufacturers in the world, especially in the motherboard market. They cater for all of the latest AMD and Intel platforms including AM3, socket 1156, 1155 and 1366 and with Sandy Bridge taking over, we still believe that 1366 has some life left in it.”
ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe @ Neoseeker
“Performance wise, the E35M1-I Deluxe performed just a tiny bit below the other Brazos boards and in real world tests this difference will not be really apparent; in most cases only synthetic benchmarks could detect it. However, the thing that makes the E35M1-I Deluxe stand out the most is its fanless design, allowing for a completely silent setup.”
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) @ Au-Ja!
“The solution of the MSI Audio P67A-GD65 is good can, in other motherboards from MSI, however, does not keep up. Therefore, the MSI P67A-GD65 proved to be extremely stable and highly compatible. The motherboard swallowed everything, without exception, what we brought to the board, and throughout the test, we did not experience a single crash.”
MSI Z68A GD80 G3 @ Guru3D
“The MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3) motherboard itself then, yeah it is impressive alright. However thee conclusion is going to be 99.98% similar to the B3 version. Compared to the B3 model the G3 model has two primary changes, the first being a new revision click BIOS.”
ASRock A75 Pro4 @ Legit Reviews
“Throughout the testing today the ASRock A75 Pro4 did not let us down. It was no real surprise that our gaming performance was right on par with our other A75 Llano motherboards. Considering that the main components of the system are all on the AMD A8-3850 Llano APU. One of the areas that I was happy with was the ease that we were able to overclock our AMD A8-3850 APU.”
ASUS P8P67 PRO @ Hardware Secrets
“Even though the Intel Z68 chipset is out there, motherboards based on the Intel P67 continue to be attractive options for systems based on Intel socket 1155 CPUs. In fact, according to ASUS, the sales of P67-based motherboards are still outperforming those of Z68-based products. ASUS offers a wide range of motherboards based on this chipset, and today we are going to take a look at the P8P67 PRO model, which is a top mid-range model (or entry high-end model, depending on your point of view).”
Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 @ iXBT Labs
“If the lack of support for integrated graphics doesn’t bother you, Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 is a good and promising choice. It stands out among typical mid-end solutions by having richer functionality (two USB 3.0 and two additional SATA 6Gbps controllers), comes with a lot of software utilities, and you don’t have to pay for extra hardware features you might not need.”
