ECS H67H2-M Intel H67 Preview @ PCStats
“The ECS H67H2-M motherboard supports quad-core Intel 2nd Generation Core i3/i5/i7 2xxx-series socket 1155 32nm Sandy Bridge processors. The LGA1155 socket is not compatible with existing LGA1156 processors, nor are the upcoming LGA1155 CPUs backwards compatible with existing LGA1156 motherboards despite the common processor names.”
ASUS P8P67 Preview @ Guru3D
“There even is a 3rd mechanical x16 slot though that one is limited at x4 PCE lanes (still handy for a PhysX card). What’s going to be big for this motherboard is that it does not have a BIOS anymore, at least not in the traditional way that we know it. This will be one of the first motherboards with the all new EFI BIOS.”
AMD Athlon II X4 645 @ FrostyTech
“Architecturally speaking the Athlon II X4 645 is identical to the preceding Athlon II X4 635 model, except for a modest clock speed increase. If you’re familiar with the preceding few Athlon II X4 6-series CPUs you’ll know what to expect so jump ahead to the overclocking results and benchmark tables.”
8GB G.Skill Ripjaws 2000MHz DDR3 @ Benchmark Reviews
“The maximum speed officially supported by an Intel Core i3/i5 CPU is 1333MHz, and most will know too well that that even lower priced Intel H55/P55 Motherboards can support a 200 BCLK. If you like to dabble in the dark art of overclocking there are a few good reasons to choose a 2000MHz (PC3-16000) RAM kit.”
PowerColor Radeon HD 6850 PCS+ @ Neoseeker
“The latest HD 6850 to show up at the Neoseeker lab is the PowerColor HD 6850 PCS+. This model includes all of the features and specifications of the Barts Pro graphics processor, but since it is part of the PCS+ line it also includes improved cooling and a factory set overclock. The default speed for a reference HD 6850 is 775MHz, whereas the PowerColor model comes with a core clock of 820MHz.”
Mvix Minix 890GX @ Overclockers
“The Mvix Minix 890GX-USB3 can certainly play with the big dogs. It holds it’s own at stock speeds for HTPC, server, and general computing tasks. With the ability to overclock, this little board makes a fun toy. I wouldn’t look to it for gaming with the on-board graphics but the PCI-e 16x slot will let you add-on any graphics card you want.”
ASRock 890FX Deluxe4 @ OCInside.de
“The 890FX Deluxe4 motherboard from ASUS was a manual, some quick instructions, together with the above mentioned BIOS setup guide, a DVD, four SATA data cables, two SATA power cable, a Floppy cable, IDE cable, 3.5 “USB3.0 Front Panel, an ATX I / O panel and a chipset fan together with screws and tool, that can be installed optionally.”
Intel X58 Motherboard Roundup @ Hardware Labs.de
“Now that we have recently introduced some new AMD motherboards, and we focus on the models from Intel, specifically the motherboard with Intel’s X58 chipset. For this we have looked at three current models from Gigabyte, ASUS and MSI. The test candidates offer different equipment and are located in different price ranges.”
MSI P55A-GD65 @ Au-Ja!
“Intel’s Core i7 8xx und Core i5 7xx CPUs are great, but the P55 chipset lacks a few features like SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3.0. Even worse: You can’t simply attach additional controllers using PCI Express because the lanes run at only half the speed (2.5 GT/s). We have seen a few P55 based mainboards and most of the time the SATA 6 Gb/s performance was far worse than what the SATA 3 Gb/s ports of the chipset will give you.”
ECS H67H2-M Preview @ Hardware Secrets
“Let’s take a look at one of the first socket 1155 motherboards that will reach the market, the ECS H67H2-M, based on the forthcoming H67 chipset for future Intel processors based on the “Sandy Bridge” architecture with integrated video.”
