AMDs APU-Prozessoren bilden eine hervorragende Basis für leistungsfähige "Home Theatre"-PCs. Doch um sehr kleine Versionen solcher Systeme aufbauen zu können, werden Mini-ITX-Mainboards nötig. Der Markt bietet jedoch nur eine geringe Auswahl an entsprechenden Platinen. Ein Modell davon stellt Zotacs A75-ITX WiFi dar. In diesem Artikel klären wir, ob den potenziellen Käufer bei der winzigen Mainboard-Version auf Sockel-FM1-Basis gegenüber den ausgewachsenen Pendants viele Einschnitte in Sachen Ausstattung, Leistung oder Software erwarten.
I'm quite a fan of the Fusion platform; I've built myself a really nice little HTPC for my room based around the AMD Brazos platform using the wonderful ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe Motherboard. Today we see the next level of Fusion, introduced to us in the form of the Llano platform and the Lynx APU. The Llano platform is what AMD hope will become the mainstream platform to use; based on what we saw from the Brazos platform we have to say that there's a good chance they're heading in the right direction.
With the first Sapphire motherboard we looked at, we found ourselves really impressed with it. The X58 offering we tested performed well and offered great overclocking potential. When we got the P67 offering from them it was a good board as well, but in such a competitive market we found it just didn't really stand out from the competition. Today, though, we look at their latest offering and it comes in the form of the Sapphire Pure Platinum A75. And as you can tell, it's of course based on the latest AMD chipset, the A75, which holds the Lynx APU that we've quickly grown to love.
Kaum ein anderer Mainboard-Hersteller gehört zu den Exoten wie EVGA. In der Vergangenheit hat uns EVGA sehr interessante Produkte präsentiert, darunter auch Dual-Sockel-Mainboards für High-End-Plattformen, die gern von Enthusiasten herangezogen werden. Aber auch für Mid-Range-Plattformen lässt sich EVGA einiges einfallen: Für den aktuellen Sockel 1155 mit Intels Z77-Chipsatz hat EVGA ein Mainboard auf den Markt gebracht, welches sich wohl vorwiegend an Overclocker richtet. In diesem Artikel wollen wir uns dem EVGA Z77 FTW widmen und es durch unseren Test-Parcours schicken.
With AMD’s fourth generation of AMD APUs, Kaveri, just around the corner it couldn’t be a better time to look at a brand spanking new FM2+ motherboard from ASUS. Today we have the ASUS A88X PRO motherboard on the test bench and this high-end motherboard will make the perfect home for any Kaveri based system. Of course you can use Trinity or Richland APUs too as the FM2+ socket is backwards compatible with FM2 APUs, but the main reason these motherboards have been released is to cater for the new Kaveri APUs that have more CPU and GPU performance than their predecessors. The ASUS A88X-PRO has already been released in a few markets, including the USA, but in the UK we won’t see this motherboard until some point next month. Of course Kaveri will take until the the end of Q1 to hit the shelves so there’s no rush in that regard. The specifications of the ASUS A88X-PRO FM2+ motherboard are as follows:
We received an email today from an industry source who claimed that the Gigabyte Z77X-US5H had V-Core problems. The claims were made that this would hinder overclocking and perhaps even potentially reduce reliability long term.
Intel’s third generation Core integrated processor graphics (IPG) chip, aka Ivy Bridge (IVB), got off to a slow start for us with a set of high-end CPUs not really intended for the home theater PC (HTPC). We still do not have one of the low power Core i3/i5 with HD4000 graphics on hand; now that they are available, H77 based Mini ITX motherboards are much more interesting since the updated platform controller hub (PCH) is required to fully utilize new features like PCIe 3.0 and DDR3-1600. There are several options to choose from, but none include the HTPC specific features like Windows Media Center infrared and HDMI CEC support via specialized headers and third-party hardware like the Intel Media Series DH77DF paired today with 65W Intel Core i7-3770S and i5-2400S IPGs. Not content to differentiate only on those features, it also offers mSATA via a Mini PCIe slot and Firewire (IEEE1394a) and addresses a traditional shortcoming in Intel’s previous Mini ITX boards – support for 95W TDP CPUs.
ASRock has released seven motherboard models for the new socket 2011 platform, heavily betting that this platform will become more mainstream after Intel releases cheaper LGA2011 processors during this year. This time we will take a look at the X79 Extreme9, which is the most high-end (and most expensive) socket 2011 motherboard offered by ASRock at this time, with five PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, eight SATA-600 ports, eight USB 3.0 ports, and a high-end, add-on sound card called "Game Blaster".
Als einer der bekanntesten und größten Hersteller für Grafikkarten aus dem Hause AMD (ehemals natürlich ATI) gilt Sapphire seit Langem. Auch im Mainboardsektor gab es hin und wieder mal eine Platine für den Premiumpartner AMD. Dies hat sich seit einiger Zeit verändert, denn Sapphire möchte sich nun auch vermehrt im „anderen Lager“ etablieren, sprich kontinuierlich Mainboards für Prozessoren von Intel anbieten. So wurden auf der CeBIT 2011 unter anderem eine X58 Platine vorgestellt (diese war bereits bei uns im Test), als auch ein Sockel 1155 Pendant mit P67 Chipsatz. Dieses auf den Namen getaufte Pure Black P67 Hydra befindet sich heute bei uns im Test. Der Name Hydra weißt bereits auf ein Feature hin, welches das Mainboard zu bieten hat. Sapphire hat nämlich dem 1155 Untersatz einen Lucid Hydra 200 Chip spendiert, der es ermöglicht, ein herstellerunabhängiges Multi GPU Setup laufen zu lassen.
Gamers are increasingly realising that you don't need a Full ATX motherboard to build a powerful gaming PC. The Z87M Gaming has all the features a gamer could want and you can even use two graphics cards in SLI or Crossfire. The MSI Z87M Gaming costs around £120 / €161 and competes against boards such as the Gigabyte G1.Sniper M5 and ASUS Maximus VI Gene.
