ASUS Maximus III Gene @ Elite Bastards
“Of course, this motherboard sports an LGA 1156 socket, while memory support is offered up via four DDR3 slots which can take a 4GB module each, with the Maximus III Gene supporting speeds of up to 1333MHz at stock clocks and up to 2133MHz in an overclocked configuration.”
ASUS Sabertooth 55i – Military Grade @ HardwareZone
“ASUS’ new series of motherboards, ‘The Ultimate Force’ or TUF, gets its first member with the SABERTOOTH 55i. Featuring military grade components and an unique ceramic-based heatsink coating, this is a rugged premium board using the Intel P55 Express chipset. We find out just how tough it is.”
ECS P55H-A @ Overclockers Club
“The layout wasn’t the most impressive. For instance, I was not at all happy with where ECS decided to stick the auxiliary power connector. I was also unhappy about where the IDE connector was located. To me layout is one of the most important aspects of a motherboard, so these defaults really brought the P55H-A down a few notches in my book. I was also surprised that the Driver CD didn’t work. Vista has been out for a while now, and 64-Bit is nothing new. The fact that the Driver CD didn’t support 64-Bit Vista is just ridiculous.”
Gigabyte’s GA-P55M-UD4 & MSI’s P55M-GD45 @ TechReport
“The first wave of P55-based Lynnfield motherboards has included not just the usual ATX fare, but also number of interesting MicroATX models. We’ve rounded up a pair of micro boards from Gigabyte and MSI to see how they stack up against full-size competition.”
Jetway Atom-GM1-330-LF @ eTeknix
“Today we are looking at the Jetway Atom-GM1-330-LF motherboard. This is a micro ATX based board which may be small in size, but is big in performance. Perfect for a general desktop rig, or dedicated download box, you will not be disappointed in this fantastic board.”
Inno3D GeForce 210 512 MB @ TechPowerUp!
“NVIDIA’s new GeForce 210 is set out to conquer the low-end graphics card market. It comes with native HDMI output, improvements to HDMI audio and a low profile form factor. While it also supports DirectX 10.1 and PhysX, it is definitely not made for gaming. However, it does score big in overclocking and power consumption.”
XFX Radeon HD 5770 @ Hardware Secrets
“Radeon HD 5700 series is the first mid-range DirectX 11 video cards to arrive on the market. Let’s now see the performance of Radeon HD 5770 from XFX and see if it is a good buy.”
Visiontek HD 5870 @ Bjorn3D
“At Bjorn3D over the years we’ve seen ATI and Nvidia trade places several times when it comes to the performance crown for single core GPU’s. For a while now Nvidia has been ahead in raw GPU power and ATI has been a little behind in raw power, but ahead in DirectX (DX 10.1). With the introduction of the 5870 it appears the crown has changed hands once again and ATI’s 5870 in now the most powerful single core GPU around.”
ASRock P55 Deluxe LGA1156 ATX Mobo @ Future Looks
“We were recently surprised by their X58 Extreme Motherboard which is still the most affordable LGA1366 solution on the market. The board was capable of overclocking with the best of the mid-ranged X58 motherboards. Once again, we’re very curious to see if ASRock’s new aggressive approach has been applied to their next generation performance based P55 Deluxe LGA1156 Motherboard.”
MSI P55-GD65 P55 Lynnfield Motherboard @ PC Perspective
“The new Lynnfield-based Core i7 and Core i5 processors in the LGA1156 socket offer a new level of performance for a mid-market price that we haven’t seen in a long time. Even though you can find P55 motherboards selling for as little as $119 today, The MSI P55-GD65 is definitely one of my favorites as it combines a great feature set with solid overclocking options and unique selling points like OC Genie for just $40 more.”
