Yesterday Sapphire launched their latest motherboard, the Pure Black 990FX which is based on the latest high end AMD chipset and Socket AM3+. Today we have one on our test bench and will be pairing it with an FX 8-core CPU and 16GB of memory to find out how it compares to one of the better competitors out there. In addition to that we will also take a look at Sapphires new 6450 Flex Edition which should be ideal for those looking to maximise their productivity.
Sapphire has just announced that for the very first time it will introduce Intel based mainboards in the high-end sector. This might come as a shock to many, but back in June 2010 news broke that several key EVGA motherboard team members left and headed over to Sapphire. Read on to see the Sapphire Pure Black motherboard series that has boards for P67 and X58 chipsets!
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.
Sapphire are probably AMD’s largest and longest term partner, producing the finest video cards for the discerning enthusiast audience. In recent years they have been expanding their product portfolio into other categories, such as power supplies and even all in one high definition media computers.

While Sapphire did a good job with the X58 chipset, we indeed wondered how they'd go when it came to the newer P67 one. While most will argue that the X58 is the much better platform with Triple Channel memory and proper x16 / x16 lane setups, the P67 platform brings a breath of fresh air into the computer rooms of budding overclockers and general enthusiasts everywhere thanks to its great overclocking ability on the Intel i7 2600k processor.
In this review we'll be looking at an Intel P67 enabled motherboard from Sapphire called the Pure Black P67. Sapphire is a well known video card supplier that builds some of the most recognizable Radeon cards on the market. However are not often considered when it comes to motherboards, yet they do exist.
Sapphire has been in the game for a long time. The company is best known not only for making video cards, but also for making some of the best on the market when AMD (previously ATI) are on top of their game. Sapphire getting into motherboards isn't really anything new, as we've seen them offer AMD ones for a while with the Pure line. The bottom line is, though, that AMD haven't been a dominant force in the CPU market for a long time and the Sapphire line of motherboards pretty much slipped under the radar.
It has been a few years since Sapphire has put out a new motherboard. Here we are though, getting ready for a look at their first Intel motherboard since the days of the Intel Pentium 4! The Sapphire Pure Black X58 supports USB 3.0, SATA 6, and CrossfireX for starters! Is the Sapphire Pure Black X58 motherboard going to be the right board for you? Read on to find out!
