ECS A75F-A @ Hardware Secrets
“So far, ECS has announced three motherboard models based on the AMD A75 chipset for the new AMD A-Series of CPUs with integrated graphics chip (“APUs”), the A75F-A, a full ATX model, and the A75F-M and the A75F-M2, which are microATX models. Let’s take a look at the full ATX model.”
ECS HDC-I @ OC Club
“In an evermore crowded media center market, it is surprising to see products that still offer unique features and feature sets. The ECS HDC-I is unique because it has nearly all the features you would want in a media motherboard. The most interesting inclusion was that of an integrated Bluetooth dongle. This allows you to use Bluetooth wireless mice or keyboards and allows you to sync with your phone, if you so chose.”
Sapphire Pure Platinum A75 (AMD A75) @ TweakTown
“So, the question is, can the Pure Platinum A75 stand out a bit more than the P67 board we looked at? The odds look good at the moment with having looked at only a few A75 boards. What worries me the most, though, is that while Sapphire did well with the X58 board we looked at, that was an old chipset. When it came to the newer P67, the performance wasn’t as strong and it’s a concern that after getting comfortable with a chipset they can create a good board, but at the launch of a new one they can’t be as strong.”
ASUS P67 Sabertooth @ Bjorn3D
“The P67 chipset might have been replaced by the Z68, but it still offers more than enough in the way of features and performance. As with all other P67 boards, overclocking is an integral part of the ASUS P67 Sabertooth. Unlike newer Z68 boards, this P67 does not have any onboard graphics options, but for most gamers and enthusiasts, that is not a big problem.”
Zotac Z68ITX @ TechReport
“What has a Z68 chipset, a full-sized PCI Express x16 slot, integrated Wi-Fi, eight-phase CPU power, four USB 3.0 ports, and a footprint small enough for shoebox enclosures? Zotac’s Z68ITX Mini-ITX motherboard, which we’ve put to the test against the big dogs.”
MSI 990FXA-GD80 @ Guru3D
“MSI 990FXA-GD80 review Today we are reviewing the 990FXA-GD80 from MSI, they recently pimped out the 990FX chipset with additional features and plastered it all onto a nice black/blue styled motherboard and are going in for the kill. The GD80 really is a truly terrific piece of machinery, with SLI support things just got more interesting, as the motherboard gains value, features and could be real fast once AMD’s Bulldozer processors are launched, yeah that’s where things get really interesting — we hope.”
ASRock Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3 @ Hardware Secrets
“So far, ASRock has released four motherboard models based on the Intel Z68 chipset. The Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3, which is the model we are taking a look at, is the highest-end model offered by ASRock. The manufacturer also offers a mainstream model, the Z68 Pro3, a top mid-range model, the Z68 Extreme4, and a miniATX model, the Z68 Pro3-M.”
ASRock H61iCafe @ PureOC
“We’re looking at the ASRock H61iCafe, a very mild mannered motherboard that still has something to offer those who don’t need a beast of a computer. ASRock has been on a roll of late, producing solid boards at great prices, so let’s dive in and see how this new motherboard fares.”
Jetway H109-Z (Intel Z68) @ TweakTown
“It’s been ages since we’ve seen a board from Jetway here at TweakTown and I would probably go as far to say that this is the first time I’ve actually been hands on with a Jetway board. So today we’re looking at the Jetway H109-Z and while the model number doesn’t really tell us anything, I can confirm it’s an 1155 socket motherboard based on the Z68 chipset.”
Sapphire Pure Platinum A75 @ eTeknix
“Sapphire are a brand that we all know and love for producing some of the most extreme video cards on the market and push the boundaries in terms of cooling and performance. Marking a new chapter, Sapphire are keen to get into the motherboard market, but want to do so with a bang by offering boards with the most beneficial features, extreme technology and a good price point.”
