Professional Reviews

  • The test from motherboards.org has images of the retail bundle, board, chipsets, loads of BIOS screenshots and the supremFX card is photographed from various angles. Benchmarks like Sandra, CPU Bench and WPRIME were compared with the MSI P55-CD53, Gigabyte P55-UD5 and Intel DP55KG Extreme. Every test was done with and without turbo mode.

  • On hardware.info you will find comparison charts with more than 20 other P55 boards. With an Intel Core i7 870 and GeForce GTS 250 it beats all other motherboards in 3dMark vantage.

  • The Maximus III Formula with standard speed and overclocked is compared to the Intel DP55KG on overclockersclub. Again we have tons of pics from the bundle, accesories, BIOS, board and chipsets.

  • benchtec.co.uk has very large images of the retail box, bundle content, board and back plate. ASUS software and BIOS can both be seen in a slideshow. CPU-Z overclocking results for the i870@4584MHZ can be seen as amazing especially if you consider that overclockersclub had the i870@4296MHZ. WPrime, SuperPI, PiFast and even 3dMark03 benchmark results are included in this test.
