Jetway X-BLUE P43 @ PC Shop talk
“On the right part of the motherboard we see one of the 3-pin fan connectors along with a power LED and speaker connector; we also have here a front panel connector marked JW_FP. It is very nice to have the POWER and RESET buttons on the board, when testing it before putting it into a case. The Floppy connector is still here, but the IDE connector is gone, so we have no JMICRON controller present.”
ECS A780GM-A @ PCStats
“The ECS A780GM-A motherboard is an affordable media center platform based on the mainstream AMD 780G chipset. This spunky little integrated graphics chipset is ideal for home theatre PC/media applications, or budget-friendly workstation PC’s because of its built in Radeon HD 3200-class videocard. The AMD 780G brings several new technologies to the table when paired with AMD’s Phenom AM2+ processors, without abandoning support for socket AM2 Athlon64/X2/FX CPUs.”
DFI LanParty DK 790GX-M2RS @ MadShrimps
“DFI has taken the latest AMD 790GX chipset and loaded it on a flashy motherboard fitted with custom cooling and fully fleshed out BIOS which allows you to tweak almost every aspect of the AM2+ platform. Let us find out if the engineers at DFI were able to extract more performance from the 790GX chipset compared to the competition.”
Gigabyte EX58-Extreme @ Motherboards.org
“The EX58-Extreme motherboard overclocked to nearly 4GHz, the second highest we’ve seen from an X58 motherboard so far. Gigabyte’s board is worthy of a Hot Product award with only the fact that it didn’t overclock as high as the fastest board we have tested keeps it from getting the Editor’s Choice award.”
Intel X58 Extreme DX58SO @ Motherboards.org
“Intel has a lot to be happy about with their new CPU and X58 family launch, firmly taking over the enthusiast market with new processors that are clearly faster than the last generation. The DX58SO motherboard is nearly as fast as the other boards on the platform, with minor differences due to the board manufacturer tweaks in performance.”
ECS X58B-A Black @ Motherboards.org
“The ECS X58B-A Black Series motherboard is available online for a price of only $260. This compares favorably in the price department to other X58 motherboards which have a heftier premium. As we move into 2009 we will likely see the prices of these motherboards reach a more mainstream level allowing more people to use them.”
EVGA X58 SLI @ http://www.guru3d.com/article/evga-x58-sli-review/Guru3D
“Today we’ll test the fifth X58 motherboard in a row, this time from the folks at eVGA. They recently released their eVGA X58 SLI motherboard loaded with features. Tagged with a 299 USD sales price this motherboard seem to be very impressive. But since it’s eVGA, they decided that this motherboard should be all about overclocking, and nothing else.”
Foxconn X58 Quantum Force BloodRage @ MadShrimps
“Foxconn has moved aggressively forward in the retail market, previously only OEM supplier they are now pushing hard to get their brand recognized by end users. Their latest motherboard is based on Intel high end X58 chipset. Their naming schemes are not a mumbo jumbo of numbers and letters, but actually really eye-catching, like their P35 MARS, X48 Blackops, and now the X58 Blood Rage.”
ASUS P6T Deluxe @ Motherboards.org
“ASUS’s P6T Deluxe OC Palm Edition is the perfect example of what a new motherboard chipset should be when released. Every conceivable feature including SLI, CrossfireX, 24GB DDR3-1600MHz support, and the general build quality that exists on ASUS’s boards generally means that the P6T Deluxe is one of the motherboards to beat in the current crop of X58 motherboards.”
Gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREME @ Benchmarks Reviews
“The GA-EX58-EXTREME is the latest high performance X58-Express Series motherboard from GIGABYTE, designed from the ground up to unleash the awesome power of Intel’s new Core i7 processors. Equipped with a host of new features including the new QPI interface, 3-channel DDR3 support, 3-Way SLI and CrossFireX support, Ultra Durable 3 technology and the industry’s most extensive range of overclocking features, the EX58-EXTREME is bringing excitement back into the high performance motherboard industry.”
