ASRock 890GX Extreme

ASRock 890GX Extreme @ OCInside

“It is based on the AMD 890GX chipset with SB850 southbridge and offers a fast integrated HD4290 GPU with sideport memory. The performance and the basic equipment of this high-end ASRock motherboard is really amazing, and it is very interesting to see how easy this platform can be overclocked.”

Gigabyte GA-MA890GPA-UD3H & GA-MA790X-UD3P

“Today we will take a look at two motherboards manufactured by Gigabyte. First is GA-MA890GPA-UD3H which is based on new 890GX chipset and the other one is GA-MA790X-UD3P which is based on the old highend chipset 790X. We will compare these motherboards against each other and see if the new chipset performs better than the old flagship.”

ZOTAC IONITX-A-U

ZOTAC IONITX-A-U @ Motherboards.org

“The ZOTAC IONITX-A-U motherboard is available online for a grand total price of $184.99 meaning you can make a decent system for everyday tasks by adding memory, hard disks and an optical drive. Not everyone needs a HD 5970 video card with a 6-core Gulftown processor for their everyday use and the ION is a great fit for those wanting more than the Atom+945 chipset can offer.”

MSI 890GXM-G65

“MSI released a definitely interesting motherboard. Consider it, if you have no prejudice towards microATX form factor, and if you’re going to use as few expansion cards as possible. With this motherboard you can build a variety of PCs, including powerful gaming rigs with a couple of high-end graphics cards and a quad-core CPU.”

ECS H57H-MUS Motherboard

ECS H57H-MUS Motherboard @ Hardware Secrets

“Intel H57 is a more “complete” version of the Intel H55 chipset, supporting RAID, 14 USB 2.0 ports (against 12 on H55), and eight PCI Express 2.0 x1 lanes (against six on H55). H57H-MUS from ECS comes with two PCI Express x1 expansion cards to add USB 3.0 ports and SATA-600 (a.k.a. SATA 6G) ports on the motherboard. Let’s what you should expect from this product.”

Gigabyte H55M-UD2H

“The inexpensive Gigabyte H55M-UD2H may become a good foundation for a home theater or just for a simple home PC. This compact motherboard has reasonable layout and offers the complete basic functionality supplemented with FireWire and eSATA. Its key feature, however, is the full-fledged implementation of Intel HD Graphics, HDMI and DisplayPort included.”

ECS H57H-MUS (V1.0A)

“Designed to support latest Intel CPUs with integrated graphics and built around Intel’s latest H57 chipset, the H57H-MUS board from ECS also features a complete bundle, composed of a USB 3.0 and SATA 6G expansion card, which makes the board a future-proof powerful computing platform, in a MATX board format.”

Gigabyte Intel P55 OC Challenge

Gigabyte Intel P55 OC Challenge @ Bjorn3D

“Just as in racing a lot of companies that create components for the cars, or in this case computers, want to be associated with the people involved and thus it is not strange to see companies like ASUS, Intel, AMD and Gigabyte spending lots of time and money on overclocking events.”

Gigabyte P55A-UD6

Gigabyte P55A-UD6 @ iXBT Labs

“The new motherboard series from Gigabyte is a good example of the splendours and miseries of the P55 chipset. On the one hand, LGA1156 is a decent general-purpose platform. On the other hand, any effort to make anything original out of it results in compromises. However, solving issues like that is a good chance for motherboard makers to show what they are capable of.”

ECS H57H-MUS

ECS H57H-MUS @ Guru3D

“A more interesting feature on the H57H-MUS we’ll be testing today is that it’s packaged with two extra add-on controllers, one offers USB 3.0 through an onboard NEC uPD720200 host controller and the other is a SATA 6G add-on controller, adding some greater compatibility and extra power for USB / SATA6G devices.”
