Mit den beiden "Llano"-Prozessoren A8-3850 und A8-3650 haben wir uns bereits die ersten beiden CPUs der neuen Desktop-APUs von AMD angeschaut. Doch auch wenn die integrierte Grafik zu überzeugen weiß, so ist man noch immer auf ein Mainboard angewiesen und auch hier sind entscheidende Unterschiede auszumachen, die den Gesamteindruck der Plattform beeinflussen können. Wir haben uns einmal sechs Platinen zur Brust genommen. Die Palette reicht dabei von günstigen Versionen entsprechender Hersteller, die für ebenso günstige Mainboards bekannt sind, bis hin zu teuren Platinen, deren Hersteller mit exklusiven Features und Optik auftrumpfen wollen. Wo die Unterschiede liegen und welches Mainboard das richtige ist, versuchen wir auf den folgenden Seiten zu klären.
Enthusiast computer systems often have a certain "look" that is indicative of their intended usage. For instance systems designed for overclocking will sit at the top of the product line and often feature oversized power delivery circuits and support a multitude of graphics cards.
The new Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 motherboard from ASRock comes with a rich software bundle, but also very useful features like C.C.O., Intel Smart Response Technology, Lucid VIRTU or PCI-E 3.0 slots (to be used with future Ivy Bridge CPUs). The color scheme has been reworked, so now the motherboard has a more professional look.
A few months ago when new chipsets were launching, I'd always go to the effort to try and hunt down some mITX versions of boards, because like I've said before, the mITX format actually has some serious power to offer people and can be paired with other high end components you'd normally see in standard ATX boards.
As we draw closer to the November launch of the Sandy Bridge-E platform, we get the chance to check out some of the new motherboards that are due to coincide with the launch. Due to NDA, we can't get too specific on CPUs, nor can we talk about anything performance related. We seem to have the ability to tell you a fair bit about the board, though.
We're getting through the boards, though, and the latest one for us to fire up comes from ASRock and follows the Fatal1ty series. The ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional looks the part, but today we'll see how it performs with the new AMD FX-8150 from AMD.
Asus have always been one of those brands that wants to cater for every market, and that's not a bad thing, certainly not. It gives the end user a bigger selection to chose from and lets Asus identify their customers, meaning that can then manufacture their products to suit the end user more. This is why Asus have made many boards ready for the Intel X79 launch, and with different boards aimed at different markets, it allows consumers to spend their money more wisely.
Intel’s Z68 platform has proven popular with the enthusiast audience, as the combination of stellar performance and competitive pricing is tough to match. In September Gigabyte released the GA Z68AP D3, a budget priced board which targeted a huge audience and I really thought it offered great value for money.
If you've followed what goes on with the ASRock model numbers, you would know that the -M refers to the board using the mATX Format. The mATX boards from ASRock, though, don't only bring with it a smaller board, they also bring with it a cheaper price and at the time of writing the ASRock Extreme4-M is the cheapest X79 motherboard available at Newegg, coming in at $218.99 US.
Today we are taking a look at the latest ‘Pure Black’ X79N motherboard from Sapphire, based around Intel’s enthusiast X79 platform (LGA2011). We have reviewed many Sapphire motherboards in the past and have admired their build quality and overall level of performance, even if their bios configurations have been lagging a little behind industry leaders such as ASUS. We are pairing this motherboard up with Sapphire’s high end AMD HD7970.
