DFI DK 790FXB-M3H5 vs MSI 790DX-GD70 @ MadShrimps
“Today, we have a look at two AMD AM3 motherboards, the first AMD DDR3 platform available for desktop users. Both DFI and MSI were kind enough to send us a sample of their most high-end product series, which will be tested both on performance and overclockability. We threw in a DDR2-based motherboard to find out whether or not the new memory support gives a true advantage.”
ASUS M4A79 Deluxe @ Digit-Life
“We can only note that this motherboard is just as attractive to users as the previous model from ASUS with this chipset. Perhaps it’s a bit more interesting owing to its better integrated audio. In other respects, it has both pros and cons, too insignificant to affect your choice.”
Foxconn Quantum Force X58 @ TweakTown
“Foxconn is going to try with their latest addition to their high-end board sector (known as Quantum Force) for enthusiasts and overclockers with this one being called the Flaming Blade. Unfortunately there is no pricing available from Newegg yet, as this board is extremely new, so let’s hope its performance warrants the wait for it to arrive on the market.”
MSI 790FX-GD70 @ Hot Hardware
“One of the few boards with both DDR3 and full CrossFireX support is ASUS’ M4A79T Deluxe, which we briefly checked out in our initial look at the AMD AM3 Phenom II. Today, we’ll be examining the second DDR3 full CrossFireX capable AM3 board to hit our labs, the MSI 790FX-GD70, and we’ll be putting it up against the M4A79T, head-to-head to see how it stacks up.”
