ASUS Crosshair IV Formula @ TweakTown
“As everyone knows, AMD just recently pushed their hexa-core Phenom II X6 out the door. This new CPU is a $300 six core piece of silicon that promises performance at a low price. The opinions were mixed about how well it managed this feat, but there is no question that AMD has pushed out the top end chipset for this CPU in the form of the 890FX.”
ASUS Sabertooth 55i @ Modders
“With the success of the ROG (Republic of Gamers) series of motherboards, Asus has added to their wide range with the TUF (The Ultimate Force) series. Today we are going to take a look at the first of Asus’s offerings in the TUF series, the Sabertooth 55i.”
ASUS P7H55-M Pro @ iXBT Labs
In our days of multi-part cooling systems, original designs and high-speed interfaces, ASUS still has a few spartan products to offer. ASUS P7H55-M Pro is a decent, unpretentious product. While it’s not quite up-to-date, you may still put it to good use, if you only need the necessary features the H55 chipset already has.”
Biostar TH55XE @ X-Bit Labs
“This mainboard is very well designed, its technical specifications meet all today’s requirements, its BIOS allows fine-tuning the system to your liking. It boasts a number of features typical of higher-end mainboards, but has not very high price point.”
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 @ Neoseeker
“The color theme of this ASUS board is the same as the EVO enthusiast-but-affordable series, like the previously tested M4A785TD-V EVO (which will be appearing in the graphs in the following pages). The heatsinks though, despite their quite unique shape, do not look as good; the northbridge one on the 785G board was particularly nice.”
Asus P7H55D-M EVO @ X-Bit Labs
“This is a review of a fully-functional microATX mainboard that has all necessary features and additional controllers, including USB 3.0. We will not only determine the performance improvement provided by this new interface, but will also check the mainboard performance in nominal mode and during overclocking, and test its power consumption in different conditions.”
EVGA P55 FTW @ Hardware OC
“Hardwareoverclock.com has reviewed the EVGA P55 FTW mainboard. The P55 FTW has released 7 month ago. Many bios versions has been published since the release date. Many settings have been improved and optimized. Now we have reviewed the Board with a Core i5 650 and take a look at the new settings and Overclocking performance.”
Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H @ Guru3D
“The AMD 890GX chipset, the first in the 800 series, with that G in GX for IGP, Integrated Graphics Product. A motherboard chipset that is based of the recently introduced AMD 785 chipset, it has been revised though and is now paired with the all new AMD SB850 Southbridge chip.”
