Sapphire PI-AM3RS785G @ OCInside.de
“Some Socket AM3 motherboards with AMD 7xx chipset were already tested at ocinside.de and today the Sapphire PI-AM3RS785G is overclocked and tested. The micro ATX motherboard is based on the AMD 785G chipset with SB710 southbridge and it has a HD4200 onBoard graphics unit with 128MB sideport memory. This combination was already very powerful in previously tested AMD 785G standard ATX boards.”
Kingston HyperX 4GB Kit 1600MHz @ Bjorn3D
“With Intel’s 1156 platform making its way into enthusiast’s hearts, dual channel has since become the budget builder’s memory channel priority. Lacking a triple channel memory controller, Intel’s 1156 Socket CPU’s include a newly integrated dual channel memory controller that happens to respond surprisingly well to overclocking.”
Mushkin DDR3-1600 7-9-7-24 Blackline @ Legit Reviews
“If however you are like me and enjoy overclocking every bit of kit you can ever lay your grubby paws on then the Mushkin kit is definitely a good buy. I don’t often get to play with mid-range memory kits, in fact it has been a while since my boards have seen under DDR3-2000C7, but I was impressed by these Mushkin Blackline modules.”
GeIL 8GB DDR3-1600 Black Dragon @ PureOC
“These GeIL 8GB DDR3-1600 Black Dragon memory modules look very unique from what we normally see, sporting no fancy heatspreaders, and instead going with a different approach: black PCB, gold printing, and red LEDs make these Black Dragons quite refreshing in a sea of clichéd products that want us to believe that sleek metal casings somehow better performance and can justify the high price tags that accompany such things.”

More Motherboards Coming Soon…
ASRock H55M Pro @ Elite Bastards
“Of course, with a GPU now bolted on to the CPU itself, a new motherboard chipset is required to offer up the required functionality and outputs for the integrated graphics chip to be utilised, which means that this week has also seen the introduction of the H55, H57 and X57 chipsets to Intel’s line up. It’s the first of these three chipsets that we’ll be focusing on here today, as we look at a motherboard courtesy of ASRock and their H55M Pro, which makes use of an H55 chipset in a micro-ATX form factor, but without skimping too hugely on other functionality.”
ASUS Maximus Formula III @ OCAholic
“On the power supply has placed special emphasis ASUS. The CPU is a 16-phase power supply available, plus an additional three phases for the memory controller on the CPU. Regarding Capacitors ASUS is also, as now, all reputable motherboard manufacturer on all-solid capacitors, which have a MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of 50,000 hours.”
DFI LanParty MI P55-T36 @ Hartware.de
“Thus, the small board also boasts good sound, thanks to a licensed Creative X-FI software. Also supports all currently available LGA1156 CPUs. But one thing is on the MI LanParty P55-T36 really stands out: the CPU cooler and the graphics card. “MI” stands by the way for mini-ITX.”
ASUS P7P55D Premium @ Techware Labs
“With the advent of Intel releasing the LGA 1156 socket ASUS has launched nothing short of 17 different socket 1156 motherboards based on the newer P55 chipset. We decided to take this time to look at one of the more elite socket 1156 motherboards from ASUS, the P7P55D featuring SATA III, SLI and Crossfire, a remote for overclocking and a 48 Hybrid Phase cooling design.”
MSI H55M-E33 vs Intel DH55TC @ Au-Ja!
“The Clarkdale has arrived but where shall we put it? If you take a P55 based mainboard, you won’t be able to use the CPU’s graphics core. So, it has to be a H55 or H57 chipset. We took two H55 based motherboards for a testdrive: MSI’s H55M-E33 and Intel’s DH55TC…”
