ECS X58B-A Black @ Motherboards.org
“The ECS X58B-A Black Series motherboard is available online for a price of only $260. This compares favorably in the price department to other X58 motherboards which have a heftier premium. As we move into 2009 we will likely see the prices of these motherboards reach a more mainstream level allowing more people to use them.”
EVGA X58 SLI @ http://www.guru3d.com/article/evga-x58-sli-review/Guru3D
“Today we’ll test the fifth X58 motherboard in a row, this time from the folks at eVGA. They recently released their eVGA X58 SLI motherboard loaded with features. Tagged with a 299 USD sales price this motherboard seem to be very impressive. But since it’s eVGA, they decided that this motherboard should be all about overclocking, and nothing else.”
Foxconn X58 Quantum Force BloodRage @ MadShrimps
“Foxconn has moved aggressively forward in the retail market, previously only OEM supplier they are now pushing hard to get their brand recognized by end users. Their latest motherboard is based on Intel high end X58 chipset. Their naming schemes are not a mumbo jumbo of numbers and letters, but actually really eye-catching, like their P35 MARS, X48 Blackops, and now the X58 Blood Rage.”
Gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREME @ Benchmarks Reviews
“The GA-EX58-EXTREME is the latest high performance X58-Express Series motherboard from GIGABYTE, designed from the ground up to unleash the awesome power of Intel’s new Core i7 processors. Equipped with a host of new features including the new QPI interface, 3-channel DDR3 support, 3-Way SLI and CrossFireX support, Ultra Durable 3 technology and the industry’s most extensive range of overclocking features, the EX58-EXTREME is bringing excitement back into the high performance motherboard industry.”
ASUS P5N7A-VM @ TBreak
“As Intel marches on with its Core i7 and X58 chipset, the component market and Asus hasn’t abandoned the LGA775 ship just yet. Powered by an NVIDIA 730i chipset along with the NVIDIA’s 9300 IGP it makes the Asus P5N7A-VM the most powerful DirectX 10 integrated solution available in the market to date.”
Gigabyte EP45T-Extreme @ Bjorn3D
“When I heard that I was going to be getting the Gigabyte EP45T-Extreme I was extremely excited. It’s been quite a long time now since I’ve gotten my hands on a motherboard designed specifically for overclocking. The last one was from DFI, back when their LanParty boards were king.”
ASUS P5Q Deluxe @ IXBT Labs
“ASUS P5Q Deluxe motherboard is a good example of a top model, which does not irritate common users with its exotic features for ‘hardcore gamers’ and the like. Four LAN ports are twice as cool as two ports, of course, and six PCIEx16 slots are approximately three times as ‘powerful’ as two standard slots. But this motherboard works out its high price not resorting to quantitative measures.”
DFI LANParty JR P45-T2RS @ HardwareZone
“That just leaves a very, very niche scenario where one would need a mATX board without an option for integrated graphics – LAN gaming machines, or to be more specific, portable LAN PCs. For those LAN party enthusiasts who lug their own systems to such game gatherings, DFI has just the right solution with a mATX motherboard built around Intel’s mainstream P45 chipset, the new LANParty JR P45-T2RS.”
EVGA X58 3X SLI @ Hot Hardware
“Of course, all of these changes mean lots of new product releases from Intel’s “ecosystem partners”, as they like to call them. Since our launch article took flight in November, a steady stream of Intel X58 chipset-based motherboards have been filing into our labs here at HotHardware and we’re queueing them up for testing and evaluation.”
Foxconn A79A-S @ IXBT Labs
“We like three main properties of this motherboard, which actually shape the attitude of hardcore users to the price tag: functionality, support for top CrossFire configurations, and a sufficient set of BIOS settings for overclocking.”
