ASUS P7H55D-M EVO & Intel DH55TC

ASUS P7H55D-M EVO & Intel DH55TC @ TechGage

“With Intel’s recent Clarkdale processor launch, the itch to build that new HTPC is no doubt greater than ever. Not only does Intel offer a wide-range of processors, but motherboard vendors are currently offering an incredible amount of H55 models. We’re taking a look at two here, Intel’s own DH55TC and ASUS’ P7H55D-M EVO.”

“Gigabyte has a half dozen boards built around Intel’s P55 Express chipset on the market right now, the flagship model being pitched as the ultimate companion to Intel’s Core i5 and Core i7 800-series processors. However, with strong competition from the likes of ASUS’ P7P55 Premium and MSI’s P55-GD80, what really makes the companies’ flagship  Gigabyte GA-P55-UD6 motherboard stand out from the crowd?”

ASRock P55 Extreme

“Prior to about a year ago, ASRock boards were definitely in the economy class. Oh, they were decent, stable motherboards, but they just had the look and feel of inexpensive. Not so today, ASRock’s boards are just as nice as those built by the “household name” companies like Gigabyte, Asus, etc. Today I will be looking at the little brother to the P55 Deluxe, the ASRock P55 Extreme.”

ASUS P7H57D-V EVO

“ASUS has now brought this mindset to bear for the H55 and H57 chipset. Although the H55 and H57 are aimed at the mainstream and entry level market, ASUS has not allowed this to stop them from making an enthusiast level product. Today we take a look at the P7H57D-V EVO. This board has both USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 as well as ASUS’ Turbo EVO software for quick and stable overclocking.”

ASRock H55DE3

“ASRock is a manufacturer targeted to the entry-level market, competing with ECS on this particular segment. It’s been a while since we’ve last took a look on their motherboards, so we were really curious to see their H55 solutions. So far they released four H55-based motherboards. Let’s take a look on H55DE3.”

“Since the P7P55 WorkStation SuperComputer Motherboard is based on the P55 chipset, it comes with socket LGA1156. There are many options that can be used with LGA1156, like for example the Intel Core i5, Core i7 and Xeon 3400 Series Server based Processors. ASUS allows users to use all these different series processors to fit the customers needs.”

ASUS P7P55D Premium & P7P55D-E Pro

ASUS P7P55D Premium & P7P55D-E Pro @ OC Club

“When it comes down to price, I would have to give the edge to the P7P55D-E Pro. Its feature set and performance are a match for the P7P55D Premium, but it just can’t reach the same clock speeds with the stability I require, most likely due to the difference in the power circuits. Both boards are are full featured boards – each with a little something special.”
