Having used the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P motherboard for the last few weeks I have been very impressed with the performance. For anyone looking at a moderate cost, high performance solution it is definitely the way to go. Overclocking is where the Gigabyte EP45-UD3P really shines, I was able to take my retail Q9450 with just an 8x multiplier and crank it up a full 1200MHz without going over 1.3v...

There are certain products in every category that somehow manage to attain legendary, if not mythical stature. In the Intel socket based motherboard world that status is frequently obtained not by feature count, not by component selection, not by build quality, but by an ethereal capability to do one thing well: overclock the pins off the latest generation of Intel CPU. The fact that this capability is inextricably linked to the skill of the person tweaking the BIOS, and in many cases is difficult to repeat, only seems to add to the legend. Just as it is impossible to predict which aspiring new actor or actress will become the new darling of the Hollywood glitterati, there is an element of chance as to which motherboard among the many on offer will grab the brass ring. GIGABYTE Technologies Inc. offers 24 version of P45 based Socket 775 motherboards, yet one of them is a diva of the overclocking community. Benc! hmark Reviews is pleased to bring you our findings on the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Motherboard.

While we've had a number of engineering sample motherboards floating around our test bench in recent weeks the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe motherboard is the first retail motherboard to show up at our door step. The ASUS M4A79T Deluxe motherboard packaging states that it is designed for the new AMD AM3 processor series. It also says that the board uses 100% Japan-made solid capacitors that have a VRM of 57 years at 65C as well as other features like anti-surge protection, DDR3 Memory, Quad CrossFireX, Express Gate, and an 8+2 phase power design. It is clear that this AMD 790FX chipset powered board is loaded with a ton of interesting features, so let's open the box and see what it comes with...

Nach Asus und Gigabyte wollen Hardwareoverclock Austria euch ein weiteres X58 Mainboard vorstellen, das EVGA X58 SLI. EVGA ist ein typischer nVidia Vertreter und so wundert es uns nicht, dass das Board über Triple SLI verfügt. Crossfire wird überhaupt nicht unterstützt. Derzeit gibt es nur diese eine EVGA Platine mit X58 Chipsatz, doch ein weiteres Modell soll im Februar folgen. Hardwareoverclock haben die erste X58 Platine von EVGA genauer unter die Lupe genommen.

This N7AD-SLI motherboard from ASRock certainly had potential to be what it was created to be: an affordable enthusiast board that, while not a top dog, would be a great overclocker, and a board that would allow for upgrades like SLI. Performance on this board was decent, but we were left wondering how much better it would have been if we had not had the limitations that we had in setting our DDR timings ...

AMDs Chipsätze 780G (RS780) und 790GX (RS780D) sollen eigentlich für Heimanwender ausreichende Leistung bringen, wenn diese nicht auf neueste Spiele setzen. Tatsächlichgibt es aber seit Erscheinen der Chipsatzserie bekannte Probleme mit Windows XP, denen bisher jedoch noch niemand auf den Grund gegangen war. In Reviews war niemandem etwas aufgefallen, lediglich die Foren kochten und die Diskussionen entwickelten sich auf beiden Seiten teilweise sehr rabiat.

EVGA, a traditional nVidia partner, decided to manufacture a motherboard based on Intel X58 chipset. Let’s take an overall look on this high-end motherboard for Core i7 processors.

If you are in the market for a Core i7 system, the ASUS P6T Deluxe is a superb motherboard that oozes quality from every component and has compelling features that other boards do not, which help to justify a slightly higher price. Uncompromising stability and speed don’t always come cheap, if you buy the best the first time, you only cry once ...

ASUS has given us everything enthusiasts ask for in a motherboard and then multiplied that by pixie dust and a kitchen sink factor with the Asus P5E3 Premium motherboard. Sure, other motherboards have dual gigabit lan ports, but how many have dual eSATA? Or dual firewire? In addition to a dual antenna wireless-N integrated network adapter?

In our review of the ASUS P6T Deluxe we noted that the motherboard was one of very few desktop boards to feature an on-board SAS controller. With this controller from Marvell, the board can just as easily function as an incredibly powerful and reliable workstation, or a monster gaming rig with ultra fast hard drives. Since there are a few different speed grades when it comes to SAS hard drives we aren't going to focus much on the speed of the drives, but simply how to get Windows Vista installed on a pair of drives in RAID 0 (stripe set)...
