DFI Lanparty DK P45-T2RS Plus Motherboard Review
|
Today, we have a look at the DFI Lanparty DK P45-T2RS Plus motherboard. The P45 chipset has been out on the market for quite some time now and motherboards are widely available. But as usual, it takes a bit more time for DFI to tweak and tune their version of the P45.

Gigabyte GA-EX58-Extreme Preview
|
We have to remind ourselves that this is an early look still and we've still yet a month to go before we get hold of the final retail sample and we know the EX58-Extreme board has already changed once in the last month or so. Yet, we can't but help feel a little meh compared to the other X58 boards ...

Gigabyte EP45-T Extreme Review
|
On one hand, the Gigabyte EP45-T Extreme ran fine with up to 500MHz FSB with few changes other than Vcore and Vfsb being bumped to 1.45V and 1.4V respectively, as long as the DDR3 timings were left at Auto and no attempt was made to exceed about 1600MHz memory speed with pretty sad auto timings. On ...

Todays testing consists of the Gigabyte EP45 Extreme and the Asus P5Q motherboards which are based on the P45 chipset. Unfortunately we didn't have any X48 DDR2 boards on hand to do tests with. However, looking at how well J&W have put this board together, we decided to see just how well the boa...

Foxconn Digital Life ELA P45 Motherboard Review
|
The Foxconn Digital Life ELA isn't an overclocking board but it has an overclocking board price. Priced at 240 USD on Newe, this board is competing against boards such as the Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 and Asus P5Q Deluxe, both far superior overclocking boards. If the board were priced around 150 to 170 USD ...

ASRock AOD790GX 128M AMD 790GX Motherboard Review

Das Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H erweitert das Portfolio. Intel will mit dem G45 auch ins Lager der Chipsätze einziehen, die HDTV beherrschen und die CPU von der schweren Aufgabe, die HDCP verschlüsselten Bilder zu dekodieren, entlasten.

Asus Maximus II Formula Motherboard Review
|
The short answer is that this is one of the best boards you can buy in terms of style and features for real enthusiasts - opposed to fake ones. There are other companies who try to come close but the complete package from Asus makes it all worthwhile. It might even sway some DFI people, but for the ...

Biostar TPower I45 Motherboard Review
|
As chipsets go, the Intel P45 Express is largely identical to the P35 Express which preceded it, so if you're familiar with that platform the P45 will be a comfortable fit from the first boot up. The main difference is PCI Express 2.0 compliance, and to that end Biostar have equipped the TPower I45 ...

Gigabyte EP45 Extreme Evaluation
|
The Gigabyte EP45 Extreme has been a very mixed bag for me. While the packaging suggests something extraordinary what I found inside was only above average. Memory and HDD performance were not what they should be for a P45, and this was shown more than once by poor results from memory or HDD intensi...

ASUS Rampage Extreme X48 Motherboard Review
|
Asides from the simple act of operating as a motherboard, the ASUS Rampage Extreme looks like a work of art and could almost be a coffee table centerpiece. Factor in the incredible possibilitles available with TweakIt, the discrete audio X-Fi solution, and the massive overclocking potential, it's ha...

DFI ABS Auto Boost System Investigated

Well, it seems like DFI have finally decided to look into this and offer a solution that's going to cater to a wider audience. The thing about ABS, though, is there's more than what meets the eye. DFI haven't just created a process to make overclocking easier, but also a community to bring overclock...

ASUS Rampage Extreme Review

When the time came to design the Rampage Extreme, ASUS R and D went right to town. The X48-based board proves to be the most feature-packed one we've ever come across, and also one of the most overclockable. Aside from the robust design, water-cooled Northbridge and LCD Poster, the board even includ...

ASRock A770 Crossfire Motherboard Tested
|
We have just taken a look at ASRock A770 Crossfire motherboard. While it has two PCIe 16x looking slots, it supports 16x/4x or 8x/8x configurations thanks to a old-school PCIe switch card. This board comes with basic features such as 8-channel audio and lots of USB2.0 ports, but skimps on firewire a...

Asus M3N78 Pro Motherboard Review
|
It's been a while since nVIDIA introduced nForce 780a i.e. 750a chipset. These chipsets have GeForce 8200 IGP that offers good IGP performances but still a little bit below those that offer AMD 780G and 790GX chipsets. Also introduced is nForce 730a chipset, as derivative of those and with the same ...

Intel DG35EC Motherboard Review

It's a far nicer improvement over previous generation HTPC motherboards thanks to the newer processors and 800 MHz DDR2 support. You can find the DG35EC bundled with a Core 2 Duo E8400 processor for 270 USD at places like Tigerdirect. The Intel DG35EC m-ATX Motherboard has been seen around for about...

J and W MINIX 780G mini-ITX HTPC Motherboard Review
|
It's certainly not perfect - the BIOS is mostly there but it really needs some work, it still needs some airflow on its passive heatsinks, and the AMD drivers are temperamental but these are minor irritations or teething troubles only. Once it's up and running it works great - we ran at least half a...

ASUS M3A78-T 790GX with AMD Phenom 9950 Tested
|
Review of the ASUS M3A78-T 790GX with AMD Phenom 9950. The IGP performance, overclockability and Hybrid CrossFireX pleasantly surprised me - a lot of the older games would run fine on the board at stock, better with the on-board GPU overclocked, and quite well with a 50 USD HD 3450 added for Hybrid ...

|
ASUS P5Q Deluxe Evaluation
|
I was very impressed with the ASUS P5Q Deluxe, although I am not so sure that the EPU6 is as revolutionary as Asus makes it out to be, the Full 16-Phase power does offer every bit of the stability and power they claim. I have been able to reach clocks that were simply out of range on other boards.

Sapphire PURE 780G AMD Motherboard Review

Foxconn DigitaLife A79A-S Motherboard Review
|
Foxconn's DigitaLife A79A-S is a very average board: the unimpressive feature list, the adequate performance and the overwhelming level of mediocrity that engulfs the package will set you back an amount that warrants so much more to justify. Given the size of the company and talent within it, there ...

Gigabyte GA-GC230D Atom Mini-ITX Motherboard Review
|
The Intel Atom certainly isn't incapable, it's just not as hardcore as modern performance CPUs and for the cost it's a good base for very low power, very low cost bare bones PC or any number of other uses: NAS box, server, DVD and SD video player? We would have liked Gigabyte to have included Gigabi...
