“Recently, after several months of saving, I bought an ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 Motherboard and an AMD FX-8350 Vishera CPU to go with it. As you probably would imagine if you are reading this, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning and was eager to get to using my new hardware.”
Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 @ TweakTown
“Like most companies we’re seeing GIGABYTE offer some updated motherboard versions of the Z77 chipset and this is of course the latest one to hit our labs. Carrying the UP7 name of course means it’s a higher end offering and sits above the other Z77 boards we’ve looked at from GIGABYTE.”
Sapphire Pure Black 990FX @ Pure OC
“The Sapphire Pure Black 990FX is a beautifully crafted motherboard with a great layout and is made for the high end enthusiast who wants to stack up two or three big GPUs and and clock their CPU to maximum frequency. It is full of top notch solid capacitors, ferrite ‘Diamond’ chokes and a long row of transducers with 8+2+2 phase power delivery.”
Sapphire Pure Platinum A85XT @ eTeknix
“This has been one of the most surprising FM2 boards I’ve tested since the launch, as I had reserved my mind that it was going to be similar to their previous boards, and I can now honestly say that I’m happy to eat my words, and would highly recommend this board to anyone looking at an AMD FM2 platform and requires a high-power, high-performing motherboard with no flaws.”

MSI Z77 MPOWER @ TweakTown
“Before we take a closer look at the board itself there’s a few things we need to do before hand, and the first thing is checking out the box along with the contents of it to see what MSI is doing with the bundle. Once we’ve done that we’ll move onto the board itself and see what exactly is going on with the new Z77 MPOWER.”
