Stephen ASRock P55 Deluxe @ Think Computers
“ASRock is definitely not a stranger here at ThinkComputers.org, this will be the 11th ASRock motherboard I’ve reviewed. ASRock is best known for their economy motherboards and their uncommon solutions to common motherboard issues. But the last few ASRock motherboards I’ve looked at, though priced less than the competition, were full featured, well built, and every bit as good as boards from those “household name” companies.”
Jetway BI-700 LGA1156 @ PCShopTalk
“In this review I have tested of the P55 boards that came out from Jetway, the BI-700, which has an interesting board design, but does not impress a lot regarding performance and also has a serious VDrop problem.”
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P @ Bjorn3D
“With the new LGA 1156 platform, Gigabyte introduced five new motherboards; the P55 UD3L, P55-UD3R, P55-UD4P, P55-UD5, and the P55-UD6. The P55-UD3L is the least expensive costing $124 USD and the UD6 is the most expensive costing $249 USD. Coming right in the middle of the pack is the P55-UD4P, costing $169 USD.”
DFI LANPARTY DK P55-T3eH9 @ X-Bit Labs
“Our today’s review will talk about the features and functionality of DFI LANPARTY DK P55-T3eH9, which belongs to the familiar DFI LANPARTY DK series. However, it doesn’t mean that there won’t be anything new about it. We are going to see some unique technologies implemented on this board as well as new features deep inside the mainboard BIOS.”
Here are some prices for several of the top tier to budget end products available. Several new P55 based motherboards have been added to the list, and I will have AMD boards listed soon. Thanks for your support all!

Intel DP55KG “Kingsberg” @ iXBT Labs
“Despite the top positioning, this motherboard doesn’t look overloaded with bells and whistles like some competing models. This is typical of Intel, its engineers have always had a sense of proportion in expanding functionality. Unfortunately, this sense has somewhat failed them now. On the other hand, Intel’s active advancement to the retail market was deemed to result in this funny reevaluation: a rave of LED colors instead of simplicity.”
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 @ TweakTown
“GIGABYTE is one to do things big and one thing they wanted to be a part of first up is the SATA-III (6Gb/s) and USB 3.0 revolution. Now, whilst still considered premature as far as wide adoption goes, this is not a bad thing. After all, we already have USB 3.0 controller chips from NEC and SATA-III controller chips from Marvell starting to show their faces, which is extremely impressive.”
ASUS Maximus III GENE @ Bjorn3D
“These motherboards were known as the ROG (Rebuplic Of Gamers) series GENE, they still carried their bigger brothers name ie. Rampage II, Maximus II. Today ASUS, adds another one of these ‘Mini Monters’ to their line up. I am proud to bring you ladies/gents another ROG GENE motherboard, the ASUS Maximus III GENE.”
ASRock G43Twins-FullHD @ Extreme Overclocking
“These days, with the economy the way it is, budget computers are getting more and more popular. The tradeoff between features and price is always a tough decision. ASRock’s newest mATX motherboard is hoping to gain some of that market. The ASRock G43Twins-FullHD is a small, but feature packed LGA775 motherboard based on the Intel G43 chipset.”
Jetway P55 HI05 @ Guru3D
“When Intel released the P55 chipset and along with it the Core i5 750, Core i7 860 and 870 processors we already knew that we’d be dealing with a lot of P55 motherboard reviews. We certainly reviewed our share already and guess what ? We have more in store for you. Today the turn goes towards Jetway with a really affordable P55 offering in that saturated motherboard market.”
