MSI P45 Platinum @ Motherboards.org
“The board was stable throughout testing and performed about on average with other P45 boards we have seen. One cool feature of the board is the GreenPower utility which can save energy when enabled. This is similar in concept to the EPU on ASUS motherboards and the Dynamic Energy Saver on the Gigabyte motherboards.”
ASUS Rampage Formula @ Au-Ja!
“We really liked Intel’s X48 chipset when we first reviewed it using DDR3 memory. But DDR2 is still cheaper and plenty of customers would like to take their old memory onto their new mainboard. The ASUS Rampage Formula combines Intel’s X48 chipset with DDR2 memory and this combination looks very promising.”
MSI P45 Platinum @ TweakTown
“Today we have an early market sample of MSI’s P45 Platinum which is their top of the range board, this designed to compete with both ASUS’ and GIGABYTE’s ultra high-end P45 offerings. While it doesn’t have the full retail packaging included, we’ve confirmed with MSI that it’s the final revision board in our labs.”
Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L @ Hardware Secrets
“We took a look on GA-EP31-DS3L, a motherboard from Gigabyte based on Intel P31 chipset targeted to the mainstream market, coming with a lot of features and a relatively low cost. Check it out!”
Intel P45 Vs. X48 Crossfire @ TweakTown
“While there are a few differences between the two, we only cared about one of them. We wanted to know the performance difference between the X48 and the P45 when running Crossfire. While both boards carry two physical x16 slots, when two cards are installed the electronics behind the slots on the P45 tune back to x8 on both slots.”
ASUS Crosshair II Formula @ OC Club
“While going over this review I tried to think of something that I disliked about the Crosshair II and for once, I cannot find anything that is a negative about it. The price is on the high side, but considering the performance the Crosshair II showed and the wealth of utilities, extras, and addons, it is justifiable since you do get what you pay for.”
MSI P45 Platinum @ OC Club
“A song from the group Disturbed comes to mind here, “Down with the Sickness.” The P45 Platinum is the first and only motherboard I have been able to get a Quad core processor over 500MHz. In fact, 515MHz was achieved and was stable enough to run some of our benchmark suite. 515MHz is a great validation screen shot but I wanted to find out where I could gain a measure of stability without having to cook my little piece of silicon.”
MSI P7N SLI Platinum @ MadShrimps
“In this review we take a look at an affordable NVIDIA 750i based motherboard from MSI. It allows you to build an SLI gaming system powered by an Intel S775 CPU. Is this product good enough for the enthusiast? We compare its performance to an X38 based S775 board and also let you explore the BIOS of the MSI with our virtual tour.”
MSI P7N2 Diamond @ TweakTown
“So far we have had the ZOTAC board cross us; now it’s time for MSI, one of the biggest motherboard makers in Taiwan, and one of the biggest presences here in Australia to have its time in the sun. Today we have been given the P7N2 Diamond motherboard. This baby is aimed at being the top gun of all 790i SLI boards out there. While that’s a good aim, does it perform? – Let’s see.”
ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution @ Big Bruin
“In the end the ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution X48 ATX motherboard wound up being just about what I had hoped it would be… A high end motherboard equally well suited for serving in a workstation and a gaming rig. With all of the performance features, its slick styling, and the ample bundle of accessories, it is almost like someone at ASUS paid close attention to their market research!”
