Wer derzeit die höchstmögliche Leistung sucht, wird bei Intels Core i7 Prozessoren der 900er-Serie fündig. Doch welches Mainboard soll als Fundament für die schnellen CPUs mit vier bzw. sechs Kernen dienen? Wir haben uns MSIs X58 Pro-E angesehen, welches mit Straßenpreisen ab 170 Euro sozusagen zu den Schnäppchen für den Sockel LGA1366 zählt.

We have had more than a few ASRock board in the lab. We have even had the folks from ASRock stop by to talk to us about their products. So it comes as no surprise that ASRock has been one of the ones to send out their IGP carrying AM3 boards that are claiming full support for the Phenom II X6. As we have found out, though, not all boards that support the X6 can do so with style.

The ASRock systems we looked at last year made use of Intel Atom technology, undoubtly the most talked about CPU of 2009, but fast forward and ASRock has decided to put the Atom to rest for now with this generation and has gone with the faster Core i3 mobile processor. This should provide a boost in performance compared to the older models, but it’s not just all about performance, though.

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.

It is said that system builders like "no-frills" motherboards on top-class chipsets, because this way they get a chance to improve PC specifications for a low price. Well, the same can be said about users who build their PCs on their own. Not a lot of them are willing to pay for features they don't need.

So you need more CPU power than what a single Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition processor can provide? Look no further than the EVGA Classified SR-2 motherboard. Anyone who has been following along the enthusiast motherboard industry knows exactly what this motherboard is all about. We take it for a spin with two high end Hexa-core Xeon processors and look what kind of performance you can expect if you can afford a platform like this!

Now, I know what you are thinking; the Micro ATX form factor can handle that. That is what we thought too; that is until we got the chance to play with the GIGABYTE H55N-USB3. This one little board opened our eyes in a way that we simply did not expect. It has caused something of an addiction here. We have gone out of our way to find these tiny little systems and to put them through the wringer to see what they can do with the right hardware. Of course, the only one we have been able to tinker with was an Intel based product. But AMD is not out of the market; in fact, we have two new 8 series chipset based Mini-ITX boards sitting in the lab waiting for our attention.

Intels P55-Chipsatz ist nach wie vor die beste Wahl, wenn man eine hohe Leistung zu bezahlbaren Preisen erwartet. Doch während die Quad-Core-CPUs der Baureihen Core i7 8xx und Core i5 7xx voll und ganz überzeugen können, fehlen ausgerechnet dem Chipsatz etliche moderne Funktionen wie USB 3.0, SATA 6 Gb/s und PCIe-2.0-Lanes mit voller Bandbreite. MSI hat diese Defizite bei seinem Mainboard P55A-GD65 behoben und wir haben ausgiebig untersucht, wie gut dies gelungen ist.

Sowohl Gigabyte H55N-USB3 als auch Zotac H55-ITX WiFi sind Winzlinge mit potenter Ausstattung. Der H55-Chipsatz nutzt die interne Prozessorgrafik der Clarkdale-CPUs und bringt aktuelle Grafikausgänge mit. Zudem spendieren die Hersteller den beiden Brettern USB 3.0. Ob Kunden aufgrund des Formats trotzdem große Einschränkungen hinnehmen müssen, klärt dieser Vergleich der Mini-ITX-Platinen.

The P67A-GD65 is one of nine new MSI boards supporting Sandy Bridge. Breaking it down further, the GD65 is the flagship board in the "performance" segment alongside the GD55, both of which are ATX form factor. The Performance segment is bested only by the gaming class which features the P67A-GD80 and the insanely ridiculous Big Bang Marshall that features a whopping eight PCIe x16 slots!
