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!
One of the first manufacturers to announce their APU based system was MSI and today we have that very product, the E350IA-E45, on our test bench. In a selection of predominantly real world tests including media encoding, gaming and HD playback we will look at the performance of the new platform and find out who the consumers are who will benefit most from the first Fusion models.
Technic3D schaut sich zwei Mainboard Vertreter aus dem immer noch aktuellen Top-Segment mit Sockel LGA-1366 an. Mit dem X58 Chipsatz stellen sich Asrock und Gigabyte in der Redaktion gegenüber.
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.
