ASUS P7P55D Premium Motherboard @ Hardware Secrets

“ASUS launched nothing less than nine different socket 1156 motherboard models based on the new Intel P55 chipset. Today we are going to take a look on one that is currently the most expensive socket 1156 motherboard from this manufacturer, P5P55D Premium, which comes with SATA-600 ports, an impressive 32-phase voltage regulator circuit, an overclocking remote control, support for SLI and more.”

Gigabyte P55M-UD4 Reviewed @ Bjorn3D

“Up until last year the thought of using a micro ATX motherboard was like scraping the bottom of the barrel. Especially if that computer had high end computer components. Nowadays with all of the options and features we get with micro ATX motherboards, even I wouldn’t hesitate on throwing one in my computer. GIGABYTE has joined the ranks of manufacturers that produce a micro ATX motherboard that performs very well, and has the capability of overclocking. Lets step into the world of the Gigabyte P55M-UD4 MATX motherboard and see whats makes this motherboard tick.”

ASUS Maximus III Formula @ Neoseeker

“This brings me to ASUS’ Maximus III Formula, part or theit Republic of Gamers series of products. The Maximus is their top-end mid-range, if that makes any sense, motherboard. It all started with the P35 chipset, so this is their third iteration. However, this one is quite a bit difference since Lynnfield and P55 brought some drastic changes as you most likely read in our launch article. The Maximus III Formula is packed including the usual CrossFire and SLI, but also brings along others that are unique to their RoG line.”

ASUS P55M Pro @ PCShopTalk

“At first, I have struggled a lot trying to make this board work at 4GHz; I have tried multiple settings, ran Linx instances, OCCT and 3DMark tests, to make sure that the board is stable. Almost each time when I ran 3DMark 2005, I was getting an error at low CPU voltages, and when I was setting in BIOS a value over 1.38V for the CPU, the computer was shutting itself off, during the first or second CPU test in the 3DMark 2005 benchmark. Surprisingly, with the same settings, 3DMark Vantage was running perfect.”

MSI Big Bang Fuzion Mobo Features @ PC Perspective

“I just came across some other news about this motherboard in regards to the sound system it will be utilizing. The Big Bang Fuzion motherboard will be the first to offer THX’s new TruStudio PC technology with Creative EAX Advanced 5.0 support. TruStudio PC is a collaborative effort between THX and Creative with the goal of creating the best possible audio experience for music, movies as well as games.”

AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ T-Break

“This one slipped through the cracks while we were doing a bit of site re-designing and not getting much sleep. The AMD Phenom X4 955 is based on AMD’s AM3 socket that was revealed some time back, featuring DDR3 support.  When the 955 was released, it was AMD’s flagship CPU running four cores at…”

AMD Phenom II X4 905e @ FutureLooks

“When it comes to selecting the components for your home theatre PC (HTPC), the one biggest problem is how to balance performance and heat. Since heat needs to be exhausted away from the computer, and the primary way to do that is with fans, it would stand to reason that the higher performing a component you want to install the noisier it’ll be.”

AMD Athlon II X4 620 – Quad-Core at $99 @ TechGage

“Last month, AMD became the first company to bring a $99 quad-core processor to market, the Athlon II X4 620. The question, of course, is whether or not it delivers. At 2.60GHz, it looks to offer ample performance, but the lack of an L3 cache is sure to be seen in some of our tests. Luckily, the chip’s overclocking-ability helps negate that issue.”

GSKILL Rip Jaw 2000MHz Memory @ Bjorn3D

“But that’s where it ends as far as similarities. Because unlike the CPUs of old, the newer Core i5/i7 socket 1156 CPUs, use a IMC (Integrated Memory Controller) like the 1366 socket CPU’s have. The newer Core i5/i7 socket 1156 CPUs can really handle the memory very well. So well in fact these CPUs can keep up with their tri channel CPUs counter parts.”
