Motherboards
Have you ever known someone that just has to tinker with things? You know the guy I am talking about. It is never good enough. There is always one more tweak, hack, or adjustment to be done to get that few extra MHz out of their systems. Well, imagine a room full of the same people. This is what you get when you talk about ASUS’ R&D team. ASUS makes some great boards, but to the R&D team it is still not enough.

Vor einigen Tagen haben wir euch die GTX 460 aus der ECS Black Serie vorgestellt. Diesmal wollen wir euch ein Board zeigen, welches genauso interessant sein könnte. Die Rede ist vom Elitegroup ECS P55H-AK in der ersten Version. Dabei handelt es sich um ein exklusives P55 Board mit vielen Extras und Features wie zum Beispiel USB 3.0 und Sata 6 GB. Der Hersteller bewegte sich mit seinen Produkten immer im unteren Preissegment. Doch mit der Black Serie will man zeigen, dass sich Modelle wie Rampage III oder UD-7 von Gigabyte warm anziehen können.

Mit dem Sapphire IPC-AM3DD785G wurde das erste Mini ITX Mainboard für AMD Sockel AM3 Prozessoren im Einzeltest bei der Redaktion ocinside.de online gestellt.
Mini ITX Mainboards eignen sich dank ihrer geringen Maße ausgezeichnet für den Betrieb in kleinen Mediaplayern, NetTop PCs, oder Industrie PCs.
Der AMD 785G Chipsatz wurde bereits in einigen ocinside.de Testberichten gelobt und stellt mit der onBoard Grafikeinheit eine gute Grundlage für den Aufbau eines solchen Systems zur Verfügung.
Eine Übertaktung kommt bei diesen Systemen allerdings nur selten in Frage, da hierbei vielmehr ein niedriger Stromverbrauch gefragt ist.
Im aktuellen Testbericht des Sapphire IPC-AM3DD785G Mainboards geht es also weniger um eine möglichst hohe Übertaktung, sondern vor allem um die Verbrauchswerte und die Einsatzfähigkeit in kleinen Systemen.

Of course, as more people jumped into the game using Intel’s building blocks, other companies like VIA (who started the form factor the nettop would be built on and built some of the first CPUs and chipsets for it) and NVIDIA wanted a larger piece of the pie. NVIDIA refashioned one of their older IGP flaunting chipsets, the MCP7A and renamed it ION. This move gave them a readymade solution to Intel’s existing (and underpowered) chipset available for the Atom CPU.

It has been quite some time since we last reviewed an AMD enabled motherboard and much to our surprise not much has changed. Granted the processors have gotten more powerful and they overclock better however none of that can be realized if your motherboard cannot unlock all of that potential.

Today I have for review the ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 motherboard, which uses the AMD 880G chipset. An extremely close cousin to the 890GX, the 880G also utilizes the RS880 graphics, with a slightly lower 560MHz core frequency and the same 128Mb DDR3-1333 SidePort memory, giving it an HD4250 rating. Of course the same video features are passed down as well, including CrossFireX support, although the 880G utilizes a 16x/4x slot configuration rather than the 890GX 8x/8x layout. The SB850 Southbridge and NEC 720200F1 chip give the M4A88TD-V the same benefits as the 890GX also, namely SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0 support.

Let’s take a look at this forthcoming socket AM3 motherboard from ASRock, featuring five SATA-600 ports, four USB 3.0 ports, three PCI Express x16 slots, and 128 MB on-board video memory.

In the world of computers there are always trade-offs between power, money, and space. ITX boards have stood at the lower end of the spectrum conserving space and money at the price of performance. Jetway introduces a new ITX board that boasts about the "Next-Generation ION" chipset. But is the improvement really there, or is it all just smoke and mirrors? Read on and find out.

The collective image of an AMD 890GX-based motherboard is quite attractive. It's a mid-end feature-rich full-size ATX model with two graphics slots, SATA 6Gbps support and an optional but nevertheless provided USB 3.0 controller. Besides, MSI demonstrated that the same functionality could be compacted into the mATX form factor as well.

Today we're taking a look at the ASRock Core 100HT-BD, based on Intel's Core i3/HM55 platform, which aims to take performance into the arena of a full desktop PC whilst maintaining the same footprint as their last generation ION system. Can it be done? Let's find out as we take the Core 100HT-BD through a selection of real world tests including StarCraft 2, media encoding and high definition playback.
