ASUS MAXIMUS III Formula @ Motherboards.org
“The Maximus III Formula is a solid Editors Choice as the performance is there as well as great features. Also with so many new boards on the market, I am sure we will see even better boards by ASUS and the other manufactures as time rolls by.”
ECS P55H-A Black Series @ PureOC
“With the launch of Intel’s Lynnfield LGA1156 socket processors upon us, motherboard manufacturers have been gearing up for the big Core i5 and Core i7 into the mainstream market, busy readying boards for release. One of the new motherboards is the P55H-A Black Series from ECS, as they look to continue their push further into the market with what are essentially affordable enthusiast products in their Black Series lineup.”
MSI P55-CD53 @ Motherboards.org
“Turbo Mode does not seem to overclock the CPU as much as on the Intel Extreme board, but the combination of the OC Genie and gradual overclocking using the + button on the board I was able to hit over 3.4GHz with the Intel Core i5 750, a nearly 800MHz Overclock. Overall this motherboard is great for those wanting to get onto the new i5 bandwagon, but don’t want to pay the high price for a new setup.”
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD6 & GA-P55M-UD4 @ Motherboards.org
“The Intel P55 Express chipset and the LGA-1156 CPUs are Intel’s new mainstream solution replacing the Core 2 Quad and Duo solutions earlier. As such the MSI P55-CD53 motherboard is a value board with costs of around $109 online at launch. The board does the job with performance that matches the Intel reference board.”
Intel today has officially announced and released their latest line of processors, the Core i5 and Core i7 “Lynnfield” chips, as well as the new P55 chipset. We should have our review of these processors, as well as initial looks at P55 performance posted in the coming days. To tide you over until then, here are some reviews from around the web:

Well, I’ve decided to join the modern era of web design here at MBR as we have upgraded to a new CMS. This should allow for implementation of far more useful features, better integration of forums, and more. I’ll be working over the next few days to get the site fully up and running. I’ll be porting over the more recent boards from the old database into this new system as soon as possible. If you explore, you’ll see that I already have posted several X58 and AMD Chispet based boards in the new Review Database. Enjoy!
Updated #1 – The new MBR Forums are up and running. Make an account and start a discussion.
Update #2 – All legacy motherboard, CPU, and some misc. reviews and articles have been posted in the In-House Reviews section.
Update #3 – English not your primary language? Try using the new “Translations” toolbar on the right side of the page. Click a flag, or select the language from the drop-down menu.

ASUS MARS (Dual GTX 285 4096MB) @ Guru3D
“If you have been living under a rock and don’t know what the ASUS Mars is .. let me give you an easy breakdown. You take two GeForce GTX 285 graphics cards, stick 4 GB of memory on there (2GB per GPU), sandwich them, SLI them up, market it as MARS, slap a limited edition label on there and make only a 1000 units.”
ASUS GeForce GTX 285 Matrix ROG @ TweakTown
“The ASUS Matrix GTX 285 has really been a long time coming, noticed originally at Computex it was only going to be a matter of time before we got the hot little product in our hands. Following the Matrix naming scheme, the GTX 285 is the latest model to get welcomed into the lineup with open arms.”
