As
one of the motherboard industry's most experienced advocates of new technology,
ASUS wasted no time in preparing what may be their premier Intel P45-based offering,
the P5Q3 Deluxe, for near global distribution. With the long-awaited first-round
availability of motherboards based on Intel's newest high-performance X48
Express chipset barely behind us, some buyers are finding themselves at ... |

AMD 780G Update -It is time to introduce the fine print and disclaimers when
using these boards with a Phenom 9850BE. As a recap, the critical aspect of
running a 9850BE at stock speeds on current 780G products centers on the
cooling of the PWM circuitry. Each and every manufacturer along with AMD agreed
that cooling the MOSFETS properly was critical to the successful operation of
the board a... |

NVIDIA introduced the 790i product line
just a few short weeks ago and ASUS is one of the first on the scene with their
product offering. ASUS is taking a distinct twist on things, this time with their
brand new 790i Ultra board, the ASUS Striker II Extreme. Truth be told, we had this
board in our possession before the 790i launch, but decided to give it the full
guide treatment during testin... |

After a very successful DFI P35 T2R
motherboard launch, DFI endeavored to apply the same level of engineering
expertise to Intel's X38/X48 chipsets. We did not review the DFI X38
motherboard, but instead decided to look at the X48-based motherboard from DFI
in DDR2 form. Finally, after a slew of delays, Intel's X48 chipset is available
in large enough quantities to manufacturers to allow full... |

For a bright-eyed teenager in 1976 that had high hopes of becoming a journalist one day, the satirical film Network was a revelation suggesting maybe choosing another profession would be a wise move. (Ed: Look at where that got you.) After years of intense investigative coverage of Watergate and the resulting rise in credibility of the journalistic profession, it seemed the right - mayb... |

As SLI is only available on NVIDIA chipsets,
users who are inclined to adopt multi-GPU systems are always intrigued to find out
just what they can expect from NVIDIA's chipset when it's teamed up with a couple
of their midrange or top-end graphics cards. (There's also Intel's Skulltrail platform
and mobile offerings, of course, which add nForce 100 bridge chips to get
around the NVIDIA chipse... |

As we reported earlier this month, most motherboard vendors' production schedules seem to indicate a mid-March release of Intel's next enthusiast-level X48 Express chipset. The rumor is that final silicon production is in full swing, and delivery to tier-one partners is occurring for product release in March - just in time for that lull between CeBIT and Computex. Recent delays in the release... |

Penryn Overclocking Preview of the ASRock Penryn 1600SLI-110dB -
It seems as of late that the spotlight in the world of motherboards has definitely been on the Intel X38/X48 and NVIDIA 780i/790i chipsets with the introduction of the Wolfdale and Yorkfield processor families. These are the latest and greatest chipsets in the market (X38/780i) or will be (X48/790i) shortly. While the ... |

abit was the top manufacturer of enthusiast level boards a few short years ago, but after they expanded into areas where they didn't have the manufacturing expertise or cost advantages to compete with the larger tier one manufacturers they fell on hard times. As a result, abit lost market share as well as mind share. Fortunately, abit entered into a long-term partnership with USI that saved the co... |

Every once in awhile, something comes
along that is simply brilliant in its simplicity. For ASUS, that time could be now.
ASUS plans to continue in their tradition of early adoption of new chipsets with
a mid-February release of their upcoming Rampage Formula motherboard, a board that
will make use of Intel's recently announced X48 Express chipset and DDR2 memory.
Although DDR3 has been avail... |

Over the past couple of years it seems as though every new desktop CPU release from Intel has required either a new chipset, board redesign, or at the very least a BIOS update for the user to experience the latest and greatest from Intel. The biggest change occurred in June of 2006 when Intel launched the Core 2 series and overnight several previous generations of Socket 775 compatible chipsets an... |

Our initial reaction to Gigabyte's DES (Dynamic Energy Saver) software was stated in the GA-X48T-DQ6 review a few weeks ago. Although we had toyed with this new software from Gigabyte, time constraints led us to skimming the surface of its full potential during our testing. DES software will be available on all Gigabyte motherboards that are Intel 45nm processor compatible. Currently there are pla... |

Gigabyte's motherboards
are always products we look forward to, especially the budget/midrange solutions.
These boards represent features and performance that often belies their price. Recently,
Gigabyte has also been making strides into the high-end of the motherboard market.
The first product of Gigabyte's aspirations using an Intel chipset was the GA-X38-DQ6
motherboard. The board was gene... |

SUBZERO BENCHMARKING with
the Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6
The "official" release of Intel's
X48 chipset is on the horizon, which means the major manufacturers are readying
their products for release. We already have several X48 boards in-house that we
are running through the paces and feel confident enough to start providing a few
unique performance previews over the coming days.
The first b... |

Introduction
Irrespective
of cost versus performance ratios, even the smallest gains are more than enough
to convince the enthusiastic front line benchmarkers and PC enthusiasts that DDR3
based motherboards are a justified purchase. However, finding the right motherboard
to fill the role of extreme benchmarking can be a challenge to say the least. Out
of the box, nearly all motherboards that... |

We have not heard that much from MSI
lately. Yes, they always seem to launch product at the same time as ASUS and
Gigabyte, but their product launches always seem subdued. Their marketing
program does not usually have the all-out blitz we typically see from ASUS or
Gigabyte, or their product lineup may lack a killer feature. We know MSI is
there - in fact, not a day goes by without us discuss... |

Overclocking with the ASUS Maximus Formula SE
For the vast majority of PC users, the announcement of a new CPU or chipset release generates a fair amount of interest, pegged with a realistic and thoughtful reaction towards the potential benefits (if any) over present hardware. Intel has forged ahead at such a pace this last year that it seems owning the performance crown for the foreseeable fut... |

Overclocking with the DFI UT P35-T2R Motherboard
The last three months have seen the overclocking enthusiast sector bombarded with motherboards based around the Intel Bearlake (P35) chipset. While it has become an expectation for many to see boards from the main players up front and ready to go at product launch, early adopters have naturally expected DFI to be fashionably late to the ball with... |
