ASUS P7H57D-V EVO @ Hexus
“Despite the rock-solid stability and feature-packed design, we imagine the only people likely to buy this board are early adopters who want to have the latest technology and brag about it. Most people would be better off getting a P55 motherboard without onboard USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps, combined with a Core i5 750 CPU, and, if it’s a gaming system, spending the remaining cost savings on a more powerful GPU.”
ASUS Rampage II Extreme @ PureOC
“The RIIE performed like a champ and set proper voltages throughout! That is completely amazing for someone looking to get into overclocking, since, as I showed before, you can just go in to the BIOS and see what settings the board is using to be stable and go on tweaking from there; what a great way for people to learn.”
EVGA P55 FTW @ X-Bit Labs
“We continue talking about mainboards from different manufacturers based on Intel P55 Express chipset. EVGA Company offers an entire series of solutions like that that differ in size, functionality, and certainly price, which can be anywhere between $120 and $350. Without going into any extremes, we decided not to go for the most expensive or the cheapest solution in the lineup and purchased an EVGA P55 FTW priced at $230.”
P55 vs X58 Memory Performance @ TweakTown
“With so many samples passing through my front door over the year, we quite often end up with some surprises; be it a company sending it without letting us know, or it taking a bit longer to arrive than we expected and we forget about it. For whatever reason, we ended up with a couple of kits of PC3-12800 memory from OCZ.”
Intel Core i3 530 @ Guru3D
“Earlier this month on the 3rd we took an in-depth peek at the Core i5 600 series processors. Intel that day also released the the Core i3 series processors, exactly the same thing, yet clocked slight slower and with Intel’s Turbo mode’ stripped away. The end result however is a processor that is priced much more attractive– yet for a dual-core processor offers much more bang for buck at a mainstream or HTPC.”
Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5 @ Motherboards.org
“The inclusion of so many new features can cripple the functionality of other features such as CrossfireX on the P55 chipset, but the 790FX chipset is built with more than 36 PCI Express lanes in mind for 4-way Crossfire, meaning there is plenty of headroom for using the PCI Express lanes for SATA 3 and USB 3.0 with the Marvell and NEC controller chips.”
ASUS P6X58D @ Bjorn3D
“The X58 chipset is currently the flagship of Intel’s chipset line, but it was lacking a couple of key features due to its launch date. These where of course SATA 3 and USB 3. This is no longer true thanks to Asus. They have put a SATA 3 Controller onboard as well as adding two USB 3 ports on the back of the motherboard.”
Jetway NC63-330-LF @ PCShopTalk
“Jetway has manufactured a lot of IPC boards, with different configurations and the last ones that caught my attention were the ION ones, which offer integrated DX10 accelerated graphics for games and also video acceleration for watching Full HD movies. In this review I will describe the board and I will also do some tests, both synthetic and gaming.”
Intel H55 Mobo Shootout @ HardwareZone
“Intel has unleashed a wave of low-power, 32nm dual-core processors with integrated graphics for the new year. To match these LGA1156 processors and unlock its graphics capabilities, you’ll need a motherboard based on Intel’s H55 Express chipset. We check out five such boards and give our verdict.”
OCZ Agility 60GB SSD @ Neoseeker
“OCZ sent us their 60GB Agility SSD, built around the famous Indilinx controller and MLC flash. The drive supports the TRIM command, currently only available in Windows 7, and is also available in 30GB, 120GB and 250GB capacities. Promising 230 MB/s read and 135 MB/s write speeds, it is much faster than any hard drive on the market.”
