Jetway H106 Hummer H55

Jetway H106 Hummer H55 @ TechwareLabs

“Do you want the power of a new Intel i7/i5 platform without the cost of an x58 motherboard? We take a look at the Intel H55 chipset in the Jetway H106 Hummer motherboard to see if this budget platform delivers the punch you want without the impact on your wallet.”

MSI 890FXA-GD70

MSI 890FXA-GD70 @ PCStats

“AMD’s latest flagship chipset, the 890FX, has arrived in the form of the MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard. This socket AM3 mainboard is designed from the ground up for performance enthusiasts and promises innovations like native SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, increased PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth…”

Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7

Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 @ PCStats

“We’re excited to see what the Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD7 motherboard is capable of with a 6-core Phenom II X6 1090T chip locked into its AM3 socket….but this article is all about a first look at everything Gigabyte’s squeezed in.”

Jetway JNC96FL-510-LF

Jetway JNC96FL-510-LF @ Modders Inc

“Jetway manufactures some of the best MINI ITX motherboards on the market and I have no doubt that the NC96FL-510-LF, Jetway’s latest dual core Intel Atom based board will be a testament to that.”

ASUS Crosshair IV Formula

ASUS Crosshair IV Formula @ eTeknix

“This motherboard uses the extremely new 890fx/sb750 combination chipset and is perfect for AMD Phenom II processors supporting all of the latest technology for cpu support, memory as well as SATA 6GB/s, USB 3.0 and ATI CrossFireX.”

ASRock X58 Extreme3

ASRock X58 Extreme3 @ Think Computers

“The problem is the other new technologies that have just emerged, SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3. Most of us had no idea that either was in the works when the Core i7/X58 emerged. Going to the expense of buying the new Core i7 980X, you definitely want the latest data transfer technologies, and with an older X58 board, the only way you will get them is with PCI expansion cards.”

ASRock ION330

ASRock ION330 @ Motherboards.org

“The ASRock A330ION motherboard is interesting in many respects. The first is that the system supports an external graphics card via a PCI Express 2.0 x 16 slots. That means if you want to use a Radeon HD 5870 video card you can, depending on the size of the case you install this motherboard into.”

ASRock H55M Pro

ASRock H55M Pro @ iXBT

“Today, we’re going to review an ASRock H55M Pro motherboard. Consider it a counterpart of the microATX P55M Pro, just based on the H55 chipset. H55M Pro is not the lowest-end solution in its series, but it’s still quite affordable. Let’s see whether ASRock was successful in balancing out price and features.”

DFI MI P55-T36

DFI MI P55-T36 @ PureOC

“The DFI MI P55-T35 is a mini ITX motherboard, a positively tiny product that looks to offer big performance. Overclocking ability and tweaking are hallmarks of DFI products, and this little board is no exception. Based on the P55 chipset, the feature list is robust, even if the formfactor may be deceiving. Let’s take a closer look at the DFI MI P55-T36 and find out if good things do come in small packages.”
