ASUS P7P55D EVO P55 Motherboard @ Benchmark Reviews
“As we move into the holiday season, many are looking to Intel’s new Lynnfield Desktop Platform for an upgrade or new build. Not surprising, there’s plenty of good hardware on the market to choose from. In this article, Benchmark Reviews looks at the P7P55D EVO motherboard from ASUS. As part of their P55 lineup, the ASUS P7P55D EVO provides full support the for the new Lynnfield platform, along with several unique features.”
“Today AMD is launching several entry-level 45-nm socket AM3 Athlon II CPUs and we are going to take a look on the new Athlon II X2 240e (2.8 GHz) and Athlon II X3 435 (2.9 GHz) CPUs and compare them to Athlon II X4 (2.6 GHz) but also with their main competitors from Intel.”

G.Skill 4GB F2-8500CL5D DDR2 @ eTeknix
“Today we are looking at the G.Skill 4GB F2-8500CL5D DDR2 memory. This particlar set of dual channel memory sports the typical blue heatspreaders that G.Skill used in their DDR memory, and comes with their amazing lifetime warranty. It has very low, tight timings and operates and a fairly low voltage.”
PowerColor Radeon HD 5750 @ Neoseeker
“Today I’ll be taking a look at PowerColor’s model of the 5750. This is set to perform around the same as a GTS 250, which is good considering the two are about the same price. Although, just because the performance is about the same, doesn’t mean everything will be the same. The 5750 should present us with lower power requirements, as well as cooler temperatures.”
MSI P55-GD80 LGA1156 Motherboard @ Hardware Canucks
“As the Top of the Line model in MSI’s LGA1156 roster, the P55-GD80 has been designed to surpass the best that the competition has to offer, and it’s got one heck of specs list. It supports all current Lynnfield LGA1156 processors, has an advanced DrMOS 8+2 phase power design, four DDR3 memory slots with frequency support up to DDR3-2133 (O.C), three mechanical PCI-E x16 slots, CrossFire and SLI support, dual Gigabit LAN ports and a host of other features.”
P55 Overclockers: Check Your Sockets! @ AnandTech
“The picture above is after our Core i7 870 (LGA-1156) processor was overclocked up to 5.19GHz using our cascade with a -102° Celsius evaporator head temperature under full-load. Processor VCC power draw at these frequencies is around 160W (this is possible only due to subzero cooling), as measured with a clamp meter installed at the 12V EPS power lead. Study the pictures closely and you should notice something peculiar. Keep in mind it comes from a CPU installed in the same type of socket from a particular manufacturer.”
ASRock P55 Deluxe Mainboard @ X-Bit Labs
“ASRock P55M Pro is the junior model in the lineup. It is designed in MicroATX form-factor, but nevertheless, it allows putting together a high-performance system. For example, we see two graphics cards slots. However, it is important to keep in mind that the lower slot works at lower PCI Express 2.0 speed of only x4 and the board officially supports only ATI CrossFireX and Quad CrossFireX, but there is no mention of Nvidia SLI anywhere.”
A Glance into the Future: Six-Core AMD Istanbul @ X-Bit Labs
“The first six-core desktop processor from this company aka Gulftown should come out in H2 2010. It will be an LGA1366 solution with a 32nm monolithic core on Westmere microarchitecture (next Nehalem generation). Some time ago we learned about similar plans from AMD. Although this company was only planning to introduce more progressive 32 nm process for their solutions in 2011, they will launch their new six-core CPU also in 2010, around Q2.”
Gigabyte P55-UD6 Review @ Motherboards.org
“GIGABYTE has given new meaning to features with their new board. Features like SMART 6, 24-Phase Power and much more bring this board to one of the most feature-rich P55 motherboards on the market today. The inclusion of a external SATA kit with all the wires and cables needed adds additional value to the board. GIGABYTE is serious about the enthusiast crowd with a fully featured BIOS and lots of overclocking options that some other manufacturers can’t match.”
DFI LANParty Jr. GF9400 T2RS mATX Mobo @ TweakTown
“We recently had the fun of toying around with DFI’s LANParty Jr. GF9400 T2RS. This is an LGA 775 DDR2 board that has NVIDIA’s GF9400 IGP and MCP7A-U chipset (pretty much ION) right in the middle. While DFI may boast some of the most overclockable boards, how will this work on the NVIDIA chipset, especially given its market point as an entry level and HTPC mainboard? – After all, how many people do you know that overclock their HTPC?”
