ASUS Crosshair IV Formula Preview @ eTeknix
“With support for 16GB of dual-channel DDR3 1866, ATI CrossFireX technology, SupremeFX X-FI built-in and a funky colour scheme, this board looks to be putting Asus at the forefront of the top motherboard manufacturer list.”
ASRock 890GX Extreme @ OCInside
“It is based on the AMD 890GX chipset with SB850 southbridge and offers a fast integrated HD4290 GPU with sideport memory. The performance and the basic equipment of this high-end ASRock motherboard is really amazing, and it is very interesting to see how easy this platform can be overclocked.”
Gigabyte GA-MA890GPA-UD3H & GA-MA790X-UD3P @ RBMods
“Today we will take a look at two motherboards manufactured by Gigabyte. First is GA-MA890GPA-UD3H which is based on new 890GX chipset and the other one is GA-MA790X-UD3P which is based on the old highend chipset 790X. We will compare these motherboards against each other and see if the new chipset performs better than the old flagship.”
ZOTAC IONITX-A-U @ Motherboards.org
“The ZOTAC IONITX-A-U motherboard is available online for a grand total price of $184.99 meaning you can make a decent system for everyday tasks by adding memory, hard disks and an optical drive. Not everyone needs a HD 5970 video card with a 6-core Gulftown processor for their everyday use and the ION is a great fit for those wanting more than the Atom+945 chipset can offer.”
MSI 890GXM-G65 @ iXBT Labs
“MSI released a definitely interesting motherboard. Consider it, if you have no prejudice towards microATX form factor, and if you’re going to use as few expansion cards as possible. With this motherboard you can build a variety of PCs, including powerful gaming rigs with a couple of high-end graphics cards and a quad-core CPU.”
ECS H57H-MUS Motherboard @ Hardware Secrets
“Intel H57 is a more “complete” version of the Intel H55 chipset, supporting RAID, 14 USB 2.0 ports (against 12 on H55), and eight PCI Express 2.0 x1 lanes (against six on H55). H57H-MUS from ECS comes with two PCI Express x1 expansion cards to add USB 3.0 ports and SATA-600 (a.k.a. SATA 6G) ports on the motherboard. Let’s what you should expect from this product.”
Gigabyte H55M-UD2H @ iXBT Labs
“The inexpensive Gigabyte H55M-UD2H may become a good foundation for a home theater or just for a simple home PC. This compact motherboard has reasonable layout and offers the complete basic functionality supplemented with FireWire and eSATA. Its key feature, however, is the full-fledged implementation of Intel HD Graphics, HDMI and DisplayPort included.”
ECS H57H-MUS (V1.0A) @ PCShopTalk
“Designed to support latest Intel CPUs with integrated graphics and built around Intel’s latest H57 chipset, the H57H-MUS board from ECS also features a complete bundle, composed of a USB 3.0 and SATA 6G expansion card, which makes the board a future-proof powerful computing platform, in a MATX board format.”
