ASUS P7P55DX Deluxe

ASUS P7P55DX Deluxe @ Motherboards.org

“ASUS has really gone the extra mile with their P7P55D Deluxe board with performance that exceeds that of its competition and a slew of new features including the Hybrid Phase and Xtreme Design. The board overclocked using ASUS’s automated overclocking utility to a respectable 3.15GHz totally stable. Hand overclocking got the board over 3.5GHz, a very nice overclock indeed.”

Biostar TA785GE

Biostar TA785GE @ InsideHW

“BIOSTAR is one of the biggest manufacturers when it comes to AMD base small factor motherboards. This model is based on AMD 785G chipset, has 128MB Sideport memory and supports CPUs with TDP up to 125W. However, before we sink our teeth into this motherboard let’s reflect on AMD 758G chipset and its market position.”

MSI P55 GD65

MSI P55 GD65 @ Bit-Tech

“MSI’s GD65 might not be the all feature encompassing GD80, but this performance P55 board still has the right mix of sexy looks and features to get all but the most hardcore overclocker really engaged. It still manages to carve a niche of hardware and design, yet remains distinct from its cheaper offerings unlike Gigabyte and Asus whose design is uniform from top to bottom.”

ASUS P7P55D Deluxe @ HardOCP

“The ASUS P7P55D Deluxe is among the first boards to be designed for Intel’s new LGA 1156 Core i5 and Core i7 processors. This means a new chipset as well as a new socket. The P7P55D Deluxe integrates the Intel P55 Express chipset which is Intel’s first unified chipset. No longer is there a north and south bridge each with their own functions.”

Intel Core i5 750 – High Eng OC’ing

Intel Core i5 750 – High Eng OC’ing @ MadShrimps

“Basically: Core i5, LGA1156 and the Intel P55 chipset. I can assume that, since this article is a couple of days too late, you already know what this new release is all about. In short I would describe the LGA1156 platform as “affordable 1366″, although you will notice that the high-end 1156 hardware configurations will come close to the less-expensive 1366 configurations price-wise.”
