MSI 890FXA-GD70 @ PureOC

“Today we’re looking at MSI’s foray into the USB 3.0 and SATA III market with their premium AM3 board, the 890FXA-GD70. This new board looks to build upon the success of MSI’s recent product offerings, bringing some enthusiast features into the mix through the 890FX chipset to the Phenom faithful.”

Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 @ iXBT Labs

“The rollout of the 890FX chipset completes AMD’s gaming platform of 2010. As stated above, the new chipset is quite solid and worthy of enthusiasts’ attention. Speaking of Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7, it has expectedly rich functionality. One distinctive feature is the original chipset cooling solution.”

ASRock 890GX Extreme3 @ Motherboards.org

“ASRock has done a fine job bringing all of the newest features to the 890GX Extreme3 motherboards. This board has SATA 6 Gb/second, USB 3.0 and even external SATA 6 Gb/second. The UCC chip allows users to unlock locked cores assuming the CPU can do it.”

ASRock H55DE3 @ PC Per

“This is the first board we’ve reviewed with the H55 chipset and I have to say I’m highly impressed with the performance numbers we were seeing against its older brother the P55 chipset. ASRock did a good job of making an affordable motherboard with great overclocking  capabilities at a cost that will make budget PC builders happily hand over their hard-earned dollars to purchase one.”

ASUS P7P55D-E Pro @ PCStats

“Gamers will be pleased to hear that the P7P55D-E Pro supports dual videocard SLI/Crossfire gaming configurations in a x8/x8 PCI Express 2.0 arrangement, or a single videocard in x16 mode. ATI and NVIDIA both have competing multi GPU videocards, so the P7P55D-E Pro’s support for quad GPU gaming means this motherboard can be turned into a real graphics powerhouse.”

ASUS Crosshair IV Formula @ TechwareLabs

“The Crosshair IV Formula includes the AMD 890FX chipset which includes some features which provide up to 4 ATI Radeon HD graphics cards with ATI CrossfireX and other features like SATA 6Gb/s and not to forget the over clocker’s play ground with AMD Overdrive software. The compilation of all the features packed into this board in one platform is brought to you by the Republic of Gamers (ROG).”

ECS H57H-MUS @ PureOC

“The ECS H57H-MUS is a micro ATX motherboard that offers respectable features such as SATA 6G and USB 3.0. Sporting a wide array of video connection ports and a reported launch price of approximately $150 or so, the H57H-MUS looks to be a nice option for LGA1156 value seekers.”

EVGA H55 @ X-Bit Labs

“A full-size mainboard on Intel H55 chipset has a number of obvious advantages over microATX modifications, which are more numerous these days. Unfortunately, performance, energy-efficiency and overclockability are not among these advantages.”

Biostar TA890GXE @ PCStats

“Biostar’s TA890GXE motherboard is a no-frills approach to the AMD 890GX / SB850 chipsets. It’s a microATX form-factor motherboard so it can fit into nearly any case, it has robust graphics and storage options and most importantly this board is just plain affordable.”
