Stephen ASRock 890FX Deluxe4 @ Hardware Secrets
“The AMD 890FX is the current high-end chipset for AMD processors and the ASRock 890FX Deluxe4 is a motherboard based on this new chipset, bringing nice features like three PCI Express x16 slots, eight SATA-600 ports, four USB 3.0 ports, solid capacitors, core unlocking utility, and more.”
ASRock 890FX Deluxe4 @ PureOC
“The ASRock 890FX Deluxe4 is more of a “premium” product that still looks to offer great value. Bringing a few new features to the table over its predecessor, the Deluxe4 looks impressive, we have to admit. Let’s take a closer look at this motherboard and see if ASRock can continue its success in offering strong products at modest prices.”
Asus P6X58D-E @ Hexus
“The time of premium X58 boards costing north of £200 is over. Big-name manufacturers are putting almost their entire focus on delivering value-orientated motherboards. Gigabyte does it well with the X58 USB3 and UD3R, while MSI’s X58 Pro is worthy of consideration, priced at £132.”
Asus X58 Sabertooth @ OC3D
“Run it certainly can too. It is almost identical to the P6X58D-E in most of our testing but the benchmarks where it edged ahead were the important ones. The differences in 3D Gaming benchmarks can largely be attributed to the better graphics card performance from the earlier Catalyst drivers on the P6X58D-E tests. Even then the X58 Sabertooth stays within a cats whisker.”
Biostar TA870+ @ iXBT Labs
“Biostar TA870+ is a decent mid-end model that offers complete chipset features, including some undocumented. On the upside, the motherboard controls CPU fan well, has eSATA and optical and coaxial S/PDIF Out ports, can withstand moderate CPU overclocking. On the downside, its analog audio output quality is relatively low. Besides, the IDE channel is provided by an auxillary controller, not the chipset.”
Asus M4A88TD-V Evo/USB3 @ RBMods
“Motherboard review time today again for us here at Rbmods. We are going to try out Asus’ latest M4A88TD-V Evo/USB3 motherboard which is one of their latest AM3 motherboards. All of this will be done with the fairly new AMD 1090T Cpu so stick around to see what we can squeeze out of the board.”
ASUS & Gigabyte X58 Roundup @ Neoseeker
“It’s a showdown of the high performance, high priced Intel X58 motherboards here at Neoseeker. Under the spotlight in our latest roundup review is the ASUS P6X58D Premium, ASUS Rampage III Formula, and the Gigabyte X58A-UD3R socket 1366 motherboards, all packed with connectivity and performance features designed to help enthusiasts squeeze the most out of Intel X58-based systems. See how they stack up against one other by hitting the link below!”
ASRock 870iCafe @ Hardware Secrets
“The AMD 870 is the current value chipset for AMD processors without integrated video. Let’s see if the ASRock 870iCafe is a good choice for users looking for a value socket AM3 motherboard in the full ATX form factor.”
Asus Crosshair IV Formula 890FX @ PC Perspective
“Unlike the previous Crosshair III, which really was not that much of an upgrade over their standard 790FX board, the Crosshair IV takes design to a whole new level. The added features, greater usability, and outstanding overclocking features and performance make this one of the premier AMD boards out there. It is very much on the same level as the MSI 890FXA-G70, but the two have enough differences between them so as to offer something unique to the user.”
Gigabyte X58A-UD9 @ TweakTown
“While we know that GIGABYTE dropped in two NF200 chips (each with 32 PCIe 2.0 lanes), what we do not know is if the power regulation, capacitors and other components can truly handle the current and wattage draw from four GTX 480s along with everything else that would be needed to run the board.”
