Stephen Gigabyte GA-H57M-USB3 @ TweakTown
“At the bottom is the entry level H55 which lacks RAID support and a few other higher end functions. Next up on the list is the H57 which does contain RAID support and is a little more functional and powerful than the H55. The last is more of an extension than a top-end chipset; this is the Q57. It is more of a business level offering and has support for Intel’s Active Management Technology.”
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 @ Hardware Overclock
“Based on the Intel X58 chipset, the GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD7 delivers all the killer next generation features that gaming enthusiasts and power users have been waiting for including GIGABYTE’s 333 Onboard Acceleration features with support for USB 3.0, Serial-ATA Revision 3.0 (6Gbps) and a 3x USB Power Boost, as well as multi-GPU support for NVIDIA 3-Way SLI and ATI CrossFireX…”
Intel DP55WG @ X-Bit Labs
“However, in most cases we will compare Intel DP55WG only against two solutions from this list. First, we have to find out how this solution differs from Intel DP55KG, which belongs to a more technologically advanced Extreme Series. Since both solutions are from two different product lineups and are in different price ranges, the differences between them must be quite significant.”
MSI H57M-ED65 @ Hardware Secrets
“Motherboards based on the new H55, H57 and Q57 chipsets are targeted to the new Core i3 and Core i5 processors with integrated video, and MSI has so far released four different models based on H55 and one model based on H57, H57M-ED65 (a.k.a. MS-7587), which brings lots of extra features. Let’s take a look on this motherboard.”
Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5 @ Motherboards.org
“The inclusion of so many new features can cripple the functionality of other features such as CrossfireX on the P55 chipset, but the 790FX chipset is built with more than 36 PCI Express lanes in mind for 4-way Crossfire, meaning there is plenty of headroom for using the PCI Express lanes for SATA 3 and USB 3.0 with the Marvell and NEC controller chips. Performance was pretty good on this system.”
ECS H55H-M @ Guru3D
“If you can live just fine with just one Gigabit Ethernet connector, six SATA2 ports and analog 5.1 audio you can safe yourself a lot of buckaroonies alright. Yes you’d have a fairly high performance ‘regular’ PC which certainly doesn’t have to be expensive. Today we look at such a product, it’s the all new H55 chipset based ECS H55H-M motherboard priced at roughly 55 EUR / 79 USD.”
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO AMD 785G @ Think Computers
“Some weeks back I looked at an mATX AMD 785G economy motherboard, supporting AM3 processors with DDR3 memory. It was a very impressive board with a very impressive price. Performance and stability easily met my expectations, and it will be the standard for any other 785G board that I get my grubby little hands on.”
MSI P55-GD80 @ Metku
“The LGA1156 based CPUs were originally divided into the two categories, the i5 and i7 series. The divide was done by the easy distinction that the i7 CPUs integrated Intels Hyperthreading Technology and the i5 didn’t. What is Hyperthreading you ask? Hyperthreading basically divides the physical cores on the CPU into two virtual ones. This makes the OS think that it has twice as many CPUs available.”
Seven Intel P55 Motherboards Tested @ MadShrimps
“With a Big Bang we Maximus test a few SuperComputer motherboards based around the P55 chipset for our next LanParty rig. Compared to the previous 3 models this roundup provides you with in-depth test results of 7 Intel P55 mainboards from MSI, Asus, Gigabyte and DFI.”
Intel DH55TC @ Hardware Secrets
“Motherboards based on the new H55, H57 and Q57 chipsets are targeted to the new Core i3 and Core i5 processors with integrated video, and Intel has released two different socket 1156 motherboards based on H55: DH55TC and DH55HC. Let’s take an overall look on DH55TC.”
