MSI H57M-ED65 @ Hardware Secrets
“Motherboards based on the new H55, H57 and Q57 chipsets are targeted to the new Core i3 and Core i5 processors with integrated video, and MSI has so far released four different models based on H55 and one model based on H57, H57M-ED65 (a.k.a. MS-7587), which brings lots of extra features. Let’s take a look on this motherboard.”
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. Performance was pretty good on this system.”
ECS H55H-M @ Guru3D
“If you can live just fine with just one Gigabit Ethernet connector, six SATA2 ports and analog 5.1 audio you can safe yourself a lot of buckaroonies alright. Yes you’d have a fairly high performance ‘regular’ PC which certainly doesn’t have to be expensive. Today we look at such a product, it’s the all new H55 chipset based ECS H55H-M motherboard priced at roughly 55 EUR / 79 USD.”
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO AMD 785G @ Think Computers
“Some weeks back I looked at an mATX AMD 785G economy motherboard, supporting AM3 processors with DDR3 memory. It was a very impressive board with a very impressive price. Performance and stability easily met my expectations, and it will be the standard for any other 785G board that I get my grubby little hands on.”
MSI P55-GD80 @ Metku
“The LGA1156 based CPUs were originally divided into the two categories, the i5 and i7 series. The divide was done by the easy distinction that the i7 CPUs integrated Intels Hyperthreading Technology and the i5 didn’t. What is Hyperthreading you ask? Hyperthreading basically divides the physical cores on the CPU into two virtual ones. This makes the OS think that it has twice as many CPUs available.”
Seven Intel P55 Motherboards Tested @ MadShrimps
“With a Big Bang we Maximus test a few SuperComputer motherboards based around the P55 chipset for our next LanParty rig. Compared to the previous 3 models this roundup provides you with in-depth test results of 7 Intel P55 mainboards from MSI, Asus, Gigabyte and DFI.”
Intel DH55TC @ Hardware Secrets
“Motherboards based on the new H55, H57 and Q57 chipsets are targeted to the new Core i3 and Core i5 processors with integrated video, and Intel has released two different socket 1156 motherboards based on H55: DH55TC and DH55HC. Let’s take an overall look on DH55TC.”
Intel H55, H57 Chipsets @ iXBT Labs
“The new chipsets are similar to Intel P55, but they let you use the integrated graphics core of the new Core i5, Core i3 and Pentium processors. On the other hand, they lack decent support for dual discrete graphics cards. Which of these solutions you need is up to you to decide.”
Zotac IONITX-F-E Mini ITX @ Extreme Computing
“For this review I am going to be looking at a brand new product from a company that, in the bigger scheme of things, is a relative newcomer to the PC hardware scene. Nonetheless they have made a name for themselves in a relative short space of time. The company is Zotac and the product I will be looking at is one of their mini itx Ion motherboards, the IONITX-F-E. Never having used an Atom / Ion motherboard before I am eager to see how it performs.”
ASUS AT3N7A-I @ iXBT Labs
“The NVIDIA ION platform and Intel Atom processors are getting increasingly popular. Vendors are launching new motherboards, nettops, and netbooks based on the “Ionized Atom”. The reason for such popularity is simple: ION is presently the only option for a supercompact, relatively inexpensive, and potentially noiseless HTPC or an entry-level gaming computer.”
