Gigabyte P55A-UD6 @ Motherboards.org

“From a features point of view the GIGABYTE P55A-UD6 is outstanding. Support for the latest technologies including SATA 6 Gb/second, USB 3.0, SLI and CrossfireX make this board the choice of the enthusiast wanting the latest and greatest technologies from a P55 chipset motherboard. Performance is right on par with the P55-UD6 in terms of motherboard performance and performance of the SATA 6 Gb/second interface is higher than the competition which requires a bridge chip to offer full support for the new interface.”

MSI Trinergy P55 Preview @ HardwareZone

“The Big Bang is here! MSI’s latest high-end motherboard has reached our lab but it’s just not what we had been expecting. There’s no Lucid Hydra 200 chip on this board, though it does support 3-way SLI. Check out our preview of the other Big Bang motherboard, the MSI Trinergy.”

Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H @ PCStats

“AMD’s excellent upgrade paths mean the Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H motherboard will support AMD Athlon II, Phenom II processors in socket AM2/AM2+/AM3 flavours. The GA-MA785GMT-UD2H is equipped with four DDR3 memory slots that can accommodate up to 16GB of DDR3-1066/1333/1666(OC) MHz memory when paired with a 64-bit operating environment.”

Intel DP55WG @ TechGage

“For most consumers, Intel might not be the first name to come to mind when building a new PC, but the company offers a rather robust line-up of boards for each chipset it releases. We’re looking at the $140 “mainstream” DP55WG, which has an simple overall feature-set, but includes support for IR and also NVIDIA’s SLI.”

Sapphire PI-AM3RS785G @ OC Club

“When it comes to the Sapphire Pure 785G motherboard, I have mixed feelings. When I reviewed its 790GX-based board earlier this year, I felt Sapphire made great improvements in most of the areas that count on motherboards. However, with this board, I feel like the company took a step back.”

ASUS Maximus III Formula @ TweakTown

“Now that the Core i5 and Core i7 8xx series are officially out, we are seeing so many companies throwing out various P55 based boards. ASUS already has sent us their P7P55D which we reviewed earlier. This board is aimed at the mid-range and high-end crowd. Today the Maximus III Formula arrives for a good going over. This board is aimed at the high-end to enthusiast level crowd and is part of the Republic of Gamers series.”

ECS A785GM-M @ iXBT Labs

“This motherboard produces a mixed impression. On one hand, we have excellent peripheral interfaces, high-quality components, and nice options. On the other hand, the BIOS seems to be buggy. Let’s hope it will be updated.”

ASRock M3A785GXH/128M @ OCInside

“The current M3A785GXH/128M mainboard costs approximately 10-15 euros less in online shops, although it offers an almost identical basic equipment. In the test report we will see if one should save the money, how high it is overclockable, if the AMD 785G can keep up with the very fast AMD 790GX chipset and where the differences are between the AMD 7xx chipsets.”

ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO @ PC Stats

“The ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO motherboard is an AMD 785G platform built with Home Theatre PC and High Definition media applications in mind. Key to its allure are a trifecta of video outputs – HDMI, VGA and DVI – powered by the integrated graphics AMD Radeon HD 4200 graphics card and 128MB of onboard SidePort memory.”

Gigabyte P55A-UD4P @ TechGage

“S-ATA 3.0 and USB 3.0 devices may seem non-existent right now, but the add-in cards and motherboards to power them are certainly not. We’re taking a look at one of Gigabyte’s first “333” motherboards that supports both technologies, the feature-packed P55A-UD4P. At $180, it’s priced-right given its feature-set, and overclocks like a dream, too.”
