MSI P55-GD65 Review @ Overclockers Club
“The price point on the P55-GD65 puts it squarely in the mid range for a socket 1156 motherboard. This board comes in a full 50 bucks cheaper than the Intel Kingsberg board, while there is a 90 dollar saving over the ASUS Maximus III Formula, so you have to wonder if the features and performance are worth the extra cash. The included utilities work and provide a good mix of functionality.”
AMD 785G Motherboard Roundup @ Neoseeker
“This release is more oriented toward the mainstream and HTPC market though, so this is a little bit different than the high-end video card reviews we often publish. In fact, none of these motherboards support CrossfireX setups, even though the ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO and the Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H have two PCI-E x16 slots.”
MSI Afterburner @ Bjorn3D
“Now MSI came out with another RivaTuner spin off, but this time we have even more flexibility than RivaTuner could ever have. What is that extra that RivaTuner does not have? What we do get is the ability to add voltages to our video cards, giving us even more overclocking head room to snuff out our opponents in all out overclocking endeavors.”
Introducing MSI Afterburner @ Guru3D
“Afterburner is powered by Guru3Ds own Rivatuner engine, but this software comes with a few extra’s. AfterBurner will support both ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards, Multi-GPU setups, Voltage regulation on the GPU, overclocking on core, shader and memory domains, GPU load levels (ATI), fan speed adjustment, device information .. and a really wicked graphical (configurable) monitor.”
Lynnfield Overclocking on ASUS P7P55D Deluxe @ X-Bit Labs
“Using Core i5-750 and Core i7-860 processors we are going to find out how well they overclock with static and dynamic Turbo Boost implementation and will also discuss the features and functionality of Asus P7P55D Deluxe LGA1156 mainboard on Intel P55 Express chipset.”
MSI P55-GD65 i5 Motherboard @ Xtreme Computing
“Today I will be looking at a brand new product, literally only a week or two from release from one of the best known names in the computer hardware manufacturing business. That manufacturer is MSI or Micro Star International. The product is one of their new motherboards for the new line of I5 Intel CPU’s MSI’s P55 GD65. As it’s from MSI I expect it to be of the highest quality.”
ASRock M3A790GXH/128M Socket AM3 DDR3 @ OCInside.de
“The ASRock M3A790GXH/128M motherboard is like the recently tested ASRock A790GXH/128M equipped with the AMD 790GX chipset and the SB750 southbridge. However the new motherboard supports no DDR2 RAM, but DDR3 modules and this board offers three PCI Express 2.0 slots. Thanks to 3-Way CrossFireX support they can be equipped at the same time with three video cards.”
MSI’s P55-GD65 @ Bjorn3D
“These new performance grade motherboards are no longer sporting the 3 chip design we’ve seen in the past. A typical 3 Chip design is a CPU=1, IOH/MCP=2, and South bridge=3. The new 2 chip design consists of Cpu=1, PCH=2. The IOH/MCP have been moved to the CPU for a much lower latency access for the PCI-E lanes and memory. The south bridge has been updated to a much more powerful newer design, named the PCH.”
ASUS P7P55D Deluxe @ Overclockers Club
“It’s almost as if the designers just hit the “center” button, only it worked in the real world. Asus also included the nifty MemOK! button. The P7P55D Deluxe offers more than just cool features. Its performance was great, and it offered delicious overclockability. I can’t think of a single con for this board. With that being said, I’d recommend this board to anyone wanting to utilize the new LGA 1156 socket.”
NVIDIA ‘Fermi’ GPU Architecture Revealed @ Tech Report
“Six of the darker blue blocks on the sides of the diagram are memory interfaces, per their labels. Those are 64-bit interfaces, which means Fermi has a total path to memory that is 384 bits wide. That’s down from 512 bits on the GT200, but Fermi more than makes up for it by delivering nearly twice the bandwidth per pin via support for GDDR5 memory.”
