Stephen Sapphire PURE CrossFireX 790GX @ TweakTown
“AMD has been on the back-end with its current architecture processors since Intel brought us Core 2. For over four years now AMD has had to play catch up and it seems that every good thing has to come to an end. But while AMD has lost the performance crown to Intel, the Phenom II based processors are extremely cost effective, as are their supporting boards.”
ASRock X48TurboTwins-WiFi @ PCShopTalk
“The X48TurboTwins-WiFi is the X48 motherboard from ASROCK which offers integrated WiFi connectivity from a module that comes with it, support for DDR2,DDR3,Crossfire and very good performance coming from the X48 high-end chipset.”
ASUS Rampage II Extreme @ PureOC
“There are several manufacturers that offer various products in the new X58 chipset, and today we’ll be looking at what is probably the most coveted (and expensive) one: the ASUS Rampage II Extreme. It is manufactured and marketed as a high-end, enthusiast board, and features some unique goodies that should pique the curiosity of even the most discerning consumer out there.”
Gigabyte EP45C-DS3R @ Hardware Secrets
“Let’s have a look on Gigabyte EP45C-DS3R, a mainstream socket 775 motherboard for Intel processors, targeted mainly to Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors.”
MSI 790FX-GD70 @ Neoseeker
“The MSI 790FX-GD70 has a nice layout as well as a great looks, even considering the brown PCB. The quad PCI-E x16 that can house dual-slot graphics cards is fantastic for multi-GPU setups. This motherboard also has many great features such as the overclocking knob allowing the user to play with the base clock anytime.”
ECS A790GXM @ Guru3D
“We will review the A790GXM-AD3 motherboard from the folks at ECS Elitegroup. This article will entail two primary focuses. The first being a review on this motherboard, the second… to observe if we actually see a performance increase from DDR2 over DDR3 memory.”
MSI Eclipse @ Bjorn3D
“The MSI Eclipse is one of the most capable and feature rich motherboards we’ve ever come across. When they designed the Eclipse they might as well have climbed a flagpole and screamed to the world this is our flagship motherboard. The Eclipse is not only well designed and implemented, it’s also one of the few X58 boards out there capable of running three dual slot GPU’s.”
Gigabyte EX58-UD4P @ Bjorn3D
“With this being said, let’s take look at a motherboard from GigaByte, The EX59-UD4P. GigaByte is pulling out all of the stops on this motherboard, from the use of all solid capacitors and ferrite core chokes to a few more added features on this motherboard, that so far, (from what I’ve seen) other motherboard manufacturers have not used.”
Asus P6T @ X-Bit Labs
“Asus P6T mainboard comes in a box of standard dimensions. It was pretty unusual to see that even a small box like that had a flip-open front panel. There were no windows cut out in this box that have become pretty common lately and that reveal part of the solution or accessories to the potential buyer.”
ASRock X58 SuperComputer @ X-Bit Labs
“What do we know ASRock mainboards for in the first place? Unique technical solutions and low price. What will we remember ASRock X58 SuperComputer for? Well, I believe it will be the unusual “Powered eSATAII/USB” connector and that’s about it. In my opinion, they had to give up four PCI Express x16 slots and leave only two of them, because most users will still use only one anyway. Making the layout a little simpler this way could help lower the price of this board.”
