Motherboards supporting the new LGA 1155 Socket are starting to appear online such as the ECS P67H2-A2 we have on hand today. Although we can't share any performance numbers just yet, we can take a detailed look at the P67H2-A2's features and layout, one of four new Black Series boards that ECS will be launching based on the P67 chipset.

As of writing, Socket 1366 is still Intel’s top performer, and with support for triple channel memory and Gulftown, that won’t change with early Sandy Bridge offerings. After all, Sandy Bridge is a mainstream release that isn’t aimed at high-end enthusiasts. That said, if you want the fastest system currently available and you want it right now, Socket 1366 is where it’s at. Based on Intel’s X58 chipset, Socket 1366 was released in late 2008 and has seen continued support from both Intel and board manufacturers ever since. Today we will be taking a look at an X58 board from ASUS, the P6X58D-E

We all want more for less. That's why enthusiasts overclock, and that's why we build HTPCs. The PlayStation 3 game console has sold millions of units because of its ability to delivery realistic video game performance, but Sony has sold more units because of the PS3's Blu-ray Disc player capability than any other factor. Bringing personal computer technology into the home theater environment has just come one step closer, thanks to the NVIDIA ION platform. The synergistic effect of an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and the dual-core 1.6GHz Intel Atom process have delivered true high-definition performance beyond any HTPC before it. The Zotac IONITX-A-U packages the Atom N330 CPU and 9400M GPU on a Mini-ITX DDR2 motherboard. Benchmark Reviews discovers how nice it is to have native HDMI connectivity from the HTPC into the HDTV in this article.

Das Kontron KTUS15 ist ein schon lang erwartetes Mini-ITX Mainboard, auf Basis des Intel ATOM Prozessors. Allerdings kommt hier nicht etwa der Diamondville (Atom 230) wie beim Intel D945GCLF zum Einsatz, sondern der für Embedded- bzw. Ultra-Mobile Anwendungen gedachte Atom der Z5xx Serie (Silverthorne). Damit sollte das Kontron KTUS15 besonders stromsparend sein, doch es bietet noch viele weitere interessante Features, auf welche in diesem Testbericht eingegangen wird.
Insgesamt ist das Kontron KTUS15 in vier verschiedenen Varianten erhältlich. Die verschiedenen Modell unterscheiden sich einerseits in der verbauten CPU und andererseits in der Ausstattung. In dem vorliegendem Test wird ausführlich auf das KTUS15/mITX 1,6 GHz Plus eingegangen, welches das Top-Modell der Reihe darstellt.

It was a few months ago that we reviewed the MSI 890GXM-G65 micro-ATX AM3 motherboard, and while the 890GX was the first of AMD's newest chipsets to be released this year, it was far from the last. The latest to join the 800-series lineup are the 880G and 870 mainstream boards, as well as the flagship 890FX. MSI's implementation of the 890FX chipset offers many of the same features that the 890GXM does, such as their Heatpipe Thermal Design, Military Class Components, OC Genie Technology, 140W CPU Support and Active Phase Switching for better power efficiency. Even so, they've reserved a few special features just for their flagship model, like DrMOS for superior power handling capability, improved Military Class Components, Unlock CPU Core support, Real Time OC Dial and Winki, a Linux-based instant-on OS.

Anfang Januar hatte Intel seine neuen Prozessoren der Sandy-Bridge-Generation vorgestellt. Diese CPUs bieten nicht nur eine hohe Rechenleistung, sondern enthalten auch einen Grafikkern. Doch wer diesen nutzen möchte, kann nicht irgendein beliebiges Mainboard kaufen, sondern muss zu einer Hauptplatine auf Basis des H67-Chipsatzes greifen. Wir haben daher die beiden Modelle Intel DH67BL und ECS H67H2-M Black Deluxe auf Herz und Nieren getestet.

Not too long ago we had the pleasure of covering ASRock’s mid-range offering, the Z77 Extreme6. Since then, ASRock have continued to release new motherboards to fit each market segment, including the board we have in front of us today, the Z77 OC Formula. Geared towards overclockers and tweakers, the Z77 OC Formula sports both air and watercooled VRMs, 12 CPU power phases, an 8-layer Copper PCB, dual stack MOSFETs, Multi-Filter caps and a whole slew of other features and benefits, this new board promises to be the best performing board from ASRock that we’ve seen to date. As an overclocker, I love to see boards like this. Anything that can help increase stability or achieve clock speeds at lower voltages gets a big grin from me. I usually spend more time getting the last drop of performance out of my components than I actually spend utilizing said performance, so having a product like this to play with is like Christmas come early.

Sapphire are a brand that we all know and love for producing some of the most extreme video cards on the market and push the boundaries in terms of cooling and performance. Marking a new chapter, Sapphire are keen to get into the motherboard market, but want to do so with a bang by offering boards with the most beneficial features, extreme technology and a good price point.

On our test bench today is the latest product from the ASUS RoG brand, their Maximus V Formula motherboard. We will be comparing it to another Z77 board in a selection of real world and synthetic tests to find out how ASUS look to improve on the base design and how far they have pushed the enthusiast feature set... watercooled heatsinks anyone?

Asus's ROG (Republic of Gamers) series motherboards have an unparalleled reputation within the overclocking community and their Rampage III Extreme motherboard is no exception to this. Based on Intel's X58 Express and ICH10R chipsets and updated for support of USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB/s technology, this ATX board is ready to push any Intel LGA1366 Core i7 processors to its very limits when overclocked.
