ECS P55H-AK Black Series @ PureOC

“The P55H-AK is the first premium LGA1156 motherboard from ECS, and it is quite a distinct departure from previous Black Series products, not only in terms of aesthetics but also features, quality, and overclocking goals. The P55H-AK may be, for all intents and purposes, the dawn of a new direction for ECS and their upcoming products. At least in the premium market.”

“When opening the box you will first see some SATA cables and the Manuals and Driver DVDS. After unpacking all the contents of the box, we have 4 SATA cables, 1 IDE Cable, USB 3 Front bay device, 2 Molex to SATA power connectors and of course the ASRock P55 Exetreme4 and the user manuals.”

“So now we move on to the X58 Extreme6. With this board ASRock has bumped up the stakes. Now we find six SUB 3.0 and six SATA 3.0 ports. This is additional to a few other nice features and all for just $234.99 at NewEgg.com. Now we need to see if all of these high bandwidth ports can play well together.”

MSI G31TM-P35

MSI G31TM-P35 @ Motherboards-Reviews

“The MSI G31TM-P35 is a very small Micro-ATX Form Factor 24.4cm(L) x 19.3cm(W) motherboard. Allthough this board has a small form factor (SFF), using it as a HTPC will need an extra vedeo card, because it lacks a HDMI and DVI connector. There’s also no optical audio on the backpanel, using the SPDIF-out header will require an extra cable.”

“Today I would like to introduce you to the ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3. Yes, that is a very long name but the board packs a punch equivalent to its mouthful of a model number. The M4A88TD-V EVO combines the 880G Northbridge with the proven SB850 Southbridge for a combination designed to kill.”

Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7 @ Hardware Canucks

“The GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD7 comes packed with six mechanical PCI-E x16 slots, and it’s not just for show, this motherboard is one of the few to support 4-way CrossFireX. Because of all these expansion slots, GIGABYTE have had to lengthen the PCB by 0.8 inches past the 12 inch ATX specification. As result, this model is deemed to have a non-standard XL-ATX form factor.”
