ASUS P6T SE @ PCShopTalk

“Today we are taking a look at the new ASUS P6T SE motherboard. The new P6T SE motherboard is the latest and newest edition from the ASUS P6T motherboards. The Second Edition P6T motherboard included all the necessities that a computer enthusiast looks for. Instead of adding new features to the P6T SE, ASUS decided to remove some features that are not that necessary. Because of this, consumers on the budget have a chance at buying a very nice motherboard without breaking their wallet.”

EVGA X58 3X SLI Classified @ Gamepyre

“Performance, Features, Stability, and Overclocking are the four criteria by which I base my opinion of a motherboard. From the performance point of view, the X58 3X SLI Classified takes it to a new level, besting the competition in a few of the benchmarks, virtually tying in some of the other benchmarks and losing by a small margin in the other benchmarks.”

Intel DX58SO @ X-Bit Labs

“Each mainboard has its own peculiarities, but they all have a lot of features in common. The main impression we have from Intel DX58SO is that it is totally different from all other solutions. The differences are present in every aspect: PCB layout, BIOS structure and functionality, even the accessories bundled with the board are different. A different mainboard doesn’t necessarily mean a bad mainboard, but it always implies unusual and therefore interesting.”

Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H @ HardwareZone

“AMD’s Phenom II has quickly established itself as a platform for more budget conscious consumers. What better than to pair it with an AM2+ 790GX motherboard that uses more affordable DDR2 memory? We give you the lowdown on the Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H.”

ASUS Maximus II Gene @ Bjorn3D

“With all of this in mind, it is good to see manufacturers like ASUS still working hard on improving the Intel socket 775 CPU’s. Like its bigger brother the ASUS Rampage II GENE motherboard, the Asus Maximus II GENE motherboard is a micro ATX form factor, but with a couple of difference’s, the Maximus II GENE motherboard supports the Intel socket 775 CPU’s, dual channel DDR2 memory, and it uses the P45 Eaglelake chipset, paired up with a ICH10R south bridge, with a few extra’s added we seen with the Rampage II GENE motherboard.”

Gigabyte MA790FXT-UD5P @ TweakTown

“AM3 has never looked so good. With support for both DDR2 and DDR3 on the same CPU, the possibilities with this platform are endless. We have already seen quite a few good boards come out, either supporting one or the other technology and some with both. But one thing remains constant; a good price and a pretty good performing board and CPU combo for the outlay.”

ASUS P6T7 WS @ Motherboards.org

“The P6T7 is designed for the workstation crowd and stability, manageability, support for SAS drives are as important as performance. The board was completely stable throughout testing and the ability to run four dual-GPU cards together will bring the ultimate in performance in games anyway. ASUS has an Editor’s Choice product here for sure; especially in light of all of the extra features this board offers for the workstation crowd, great stability and great performance making this board a great choice for your new computer. Rock On ASUS!”

EVGA X58 3X SLI Classified @ Hot Hardware

“EVGA commonly produces their mainstream motherboard products first, while in tandem, begins work on their high-end enthusiast product. It’s taken roughly four months since the time EVGA launched their first Intel X58 motherboard (the more than worthy X58 3X SLI) to follow it up with their enthusiast-class product, which we’ll be looking at today.”

ASUS M4N82 Deluxe @ Neoseeker

“I am highly pleased with that ASUS motherboard sporting the disguised 780a chipset, despite a few downsides. I think it is stupid to use SATA ports which allow only the supplied cables to be used. Also, it is a bit deceiving that the small fan bundled with the motherboard won’t fit along a large processor heatsink.”

ECS Black Series X58B-A @ FutureLooks

“The Intel Core i7 is the current king of the desktop performance market and shows no signs of slowing down. At present, the Core i7 processor is the superior number crunching executioner of choice compared to any other CPU solution to cross this test bench to date. This success would be for naught without the X58 platform which currently solely supports it.”
