Now that Intel's finally released the Z68 chipset, motherboard vendors are scrambling to meet the demand. With the odd restrictions of the P67 and H67 chipsets removed, the Z68 allows users to make use of Sandy Bridge integrated graphics as well as overclock their processors. Add Lucid's Virtu software for intelligent switching between the integrated GPU and a video card and Intel's Smart Response Technology for using an SSD as an intelligent cache for your main hard disk, and the features and advantages of a Z68 motherboard become very attractive. Benchmark Reviews looks at MSI's Z68A-GD80 motherboard in this review. MSI builds it with "military class" components, but does this make any real-world difference? Let's find out.

At the end of last month during Computex we saw the AMD 990FX chipset launch which brought with it some strong features. One of the more appealing ones was that it supports the new Bulldozer CPUs that are due out later this year. Because AMD aren't changing the socket, though, for the first generation of Bulldozer we can have boards now that support it while also supporting the current crop of CPUs from AMD.

One of the oldest tricks to increase the probability of a successful overclocking is to increase the voltage from the component you want to overclock. Nowadays, even entry-level motherboards present some voltage adjustments, with high-end models coming with a myriad of them. The problem is that even hardcore enthusiasts have a hard time understanding what each option really means. In this tutorial, we will explain the exact meaning of each one of them in clear language.

GIGABYTE is known for putting out very high quality hardware. Today should be no different, at least in terms of quality. What we have to play with today is a little bit different in terms of features. If you have been following the latest Intel Chipsets, the Intel Z68 Chipset has the capabilities to utilize a SSD to speed up the performance of a traditional Hard Drive. The GIGABYTE Z68XP-UD3-iSSD features an integrated Intel Series 311 20GB SSD that is designed for exactly that! How does it perform? Read on to find out!

Motherboards based on the Intel H67 chipset are the best option if you are building a basic PC with integrated video using an Intel processor, or need an affordable motherboard using the microATX form factor for building a small form factor (SFF) PC. Currently, ASUS has six motherboards based on this chipset. Let's take a look at the P8H67-M PRO/CSM, which is a microATX solution featuring two PCI Express x16 slots.

Like every mITX board I see shown on our news page, when I saw the ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe I instantly said to myself "It must be mine". I say it every time, I love the mITX format, but there's just something about an ASUS version of boards. It just tends to stand out more than its competitors.

Mit Einführung der aktuellen Prozessorgeneration "Sandy Bridge" kamen viele Neuerungen: Unter anderem durch die Integration einer Grafikeinheit in jedes der Rechenwerke sowie speziellen Modellen mit dem Suffix "k" zum Übertakten. Letztere verfügten gleichzeitig auch über die schnellste Grafikeinheit - Paradox. Denn Intel bot die Nutzung der GPUs mit dem H-Chipsatz, Übertakten hingegen ausschließlich mit dem Unterbau der Linie P. Und Intel sah, dass es gut war. Alle anderen hingegen waren von dieser Lösung weniger überzeugt, weshalb der Hardwareriese beide Funktionen schließlich im Z68-Chipsatz zusammenführt. Auch Gigabyte hat entsprechende Platinen im Angebot. Tech-Review hat das Z68XP-UD4 unter die Lupe genommen. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!
