hardwareheaven reviewed the ASUS SABERTOOTH P67

The performance this mobo is great, matching or exceeding mainboards the reviewers have tested previously and in each one of their tests it performed flawlessly and there were no stability issues. The manual overclock achieved was superb. The OC Tuner software works well for novice users, so they also have the ability to maximise the performance of their system.

Features such as EZ-Flash for quick, easy BIOS updates via USB are great. AI Probe is one of the most complete software solutions available for a mainboard around thes days. A 5-year warranty is more than you would get in most cases. ....More

lanoc reviewed the Gigabyte G1-Assassin

The G1 Assassin stands out in the crowd, the cooling system design puts the entire G1 Killer series of mainboards into a class of their own, just like the ASUS ROG series. With a price of over 500 dollars it's pretty expensive. If we are ever going to see AMD and Sandy Bridge versions of the G1 remains to be seen. ....More

ocaholic reviewed the ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Professional

From a design point of view ASRock did a really convincing job with this board. The layout is good and this mainboard performs really well. If you want to build a gaming PC then the ASrock P67 Fatal1ty Professional will be a very good choice. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to OC the CPU to more than 4600 MHz. ....More

silentpcreview reviewed the ZOTAC H67-ITX WiFi

This board is not the most energy efficient solution, but for those who want the power of a Sandy Bridge CPU in a mini package, this mobo offers far more functionality than any other small board. If you're looking to build the best Small Form Factor HTPC, this solution is the most capable mini-ITX board on the market. ....More

April 15 2011

ixbtlabs reviewed the MSI E350IA-E45

This mobo has a good set of features. Four SATA3 connectors make it a nice foundation for a HTPC, home server or a shared storage PC. USB3 lets you use the highest-speed external devices today. The fan controls could be better, installing a custom cooler will void the warranty, because the panel is pressed into the heatsink. ....More

April 14 2011

ocaholic reviewed the Intel DP67BG

The performance of this mobo is either very good or very bad depending on the benchmark tested. The design as well as the layout isn't above average. If you buy this board for extreme overclocking it's better to look for more advanced mainboards. The BIOS has an unusual structure. ....More

pro-clockers reviewed the ASRock H67M-ITX-HT

ASRock offers two small mainboards, one being the HT, which comes with WiFi and a Media Center controller. Except for the media an wifi both models are the same.

The H67 is not a bad chipset at all, but it would be nice if ASRock came out with a model based on the P67. For a gaming HTPC it would be nice to enhance the performance. ....More

April 11 2011

xbitlabs reviewed the Intel DX58SO2

Unlike other mainboards from Intel this board can be considered 'normal'. It has rich accessories, a great OC potential, is energy efficient and has a convenient PCB design, but the BIOS is unfriendly. ....More

April 9 2011

ocaholic reviewed the ASUS Rampage III Black Edition

This mainboard for hardware enthusiasts and overclockers is a very good overall performer, has a well balanced layout, great looks and comes with loads of features. Overclocking with a 225 MHz BCLK even gets the memory to its limit. The price is a bit high though. ....More

April 8 2011

vr-zone reviewed the MSI E350IA-E45

This cheap, Space-saving, mini-desktop cannot be compared to a 'real desktop' computer, especially in gaming, on the other hand the AMD APU is sufficient for office use and surfing the web. The power consumption is app. the same as a laptop, and it generates virtually no heat. ....More

April 7 2011

vr-zone reviewed the ASUS P8H67-I DELUXE

The performance of this mobo was great, it gives powerful computing packed in a small box. For those on a budget, pairing this board up with a new GeForce GTX550Ti and a Core i3 will give you a powerful gaming system. ....More

hitechlegion reviewed the ASUS Sabertooth P67

The Sabertooth P67 is really a great mainboard. Installation is very simple. The reviewer had no trouble with any aspect of the setup. The TUF thermal armor doesn't get in the way of components like the video cards. Long an intensive usage is what the Sabertooth is made for, with its ESD guards, Anti-Surge protection and TUF components. ....More

April 4 2011

ixbtlabs reviewed the ECS P67H2-A2

This mobo is a decent mainboard without any specialties, it has a nice layout, good cooling, accessories and software. Easy Green Saver (eGS) can lower the CPU clock rate when it's under light load and also provides access to system power-saving parameters like disabling monitor and hard drives after a period of inactivity. ....More

pureoverclock reviewed the Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7-B3

The BIOS of this mobo is not an UEFI BIOS. There's also no auto overclocking feature and the 8-pin power connector is placed away from the edge of the board and is rotated 90 degrees.

Lay-out: At mid-board the large graphics cards are not in the way of the DIMM slots. The CPU Cooler is not affected either, and there's still plenty of space. The heatsink below the CPU will adversely affect any video card from being installed in the top PCI-E slot. ....More

pro-clockers reviewed the ASUS SABERTOOTH P67

Quality, stability and durability that was first priority when the ASUS engineers designed this mobo, extreme overclocking came second in place, for overclocking the new P67 Maximus seems to be a better board. There are no onboard reset and power buttons, next to that there are no voltage measuring points like on some high-end boards, and there's not even a clear CMOS button. ....More

overclock3d reviewed the MSI Big Bang Marshal

If you want the flexibility that an XL-ATX motherboard provides for Quad-GPU setups then the Marshal will be your choice. It's fast, looks great, has everything you could wish for and has lots of accessories. Solid overclocking capabilities are matched with high quality components. Overclocking was a joy, allthough the reviewers had a couple of issues with this version of BIOS. It's also equipped with the Lucid Hydra chip that allows you to mix graphics cards from nVidia and ATI, the reviewers have tested this feature in the past and they found out it worked amazingly well. ....More

hitechlegion reviewed the MSI 890FXA-GD65

MSI has actually implemented some better design ideas on this board, when compared to the 890FXA-GD70, the DIMM slots are placed alternately, overclockers will like this feauture. Memory DIMMs that are side by side might hinder larger heatsinks, the operating temperature however of the OCed modules is not something the reviewer would trade for, especially if you want to OC your DDR3. Besides, there is usually enough room for 2 x 2 sticks and for CPU coolers on this board. ....More

3-23-2011

techwarelabs reviewed the Gigabyte GA-E350N-USB3

This mobo includes USB3, DDR3, SATA III, and a more powerful processor than an Intel Atom.

hardwarecanucks reviewed the ASUS P8P67 Pro

This is a high quality mainboard that will give you value for money. The new UEFI BIOS has many features and as far as overclocking is concerned, it's pretty clear that the people of ASUS have spent a lot of time ensuring that the P8P67 pro users would have a flawless experience with this mobo. The layout is OK, but large CPU coolers and tall memory heatsinks can potentially cause installation problems. ....More

3-17-2011

vr-zone reviewed the ASUS SABERTOOTH P67

The design of this mobo is outstanding, with its new thermal armor, TUF components and lots of other features. Overclocking was limited by the 5500MHz barrier, allthough a 61% overclock isn't bad. Compared to a much cheaper motherboards on the market, it's of course a real winner. ....More

3-16-2011

xbitlabs reviewed the ASUS P8P67 Pro

The reviewers found a number of small issues and one serious problem, being the inability to work at a memory frequency of 1600 MHz.

phoronix reviewed the ASRock P67 Pro3

Running Ubuntu 10.10 with the Linux 2.6.35 kernel had worked fine from the ASRock P67 Pro3. Booting up the Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD from a USB drive had worked just fine and there were no major problems encountered. As mentioned in several articles now, the only real Linux compatibility problems have been with the Sandy Bridge graphics when dealing with a buggy ASUS H67 motherboard and for everyone else just ensuring you have an updated Intel Linux graphics driver stack (Linux 2.6.37+, Mesa 7.10 or ideally Mesa 7.11-devel, xf86-video-intel 2.14.0+). Ubuntu 10.10 had worked fine on the ASRock P67 Pro3 motherboard along with other Intel P67 motherboards in our tests. ....More

hardwarecanucks reviewed the Sapphire Pure Black X58 PB-CI7S41X58

Only the first PCI-E x16 slot of this mainboard can actually operate @ x16, the other two blue slots top out @ x8, besides that this mobo doesn't support SLI. It's expensive when compared to the competition, and those boards have similar connectivity specifications and superior multi-GPU capabilities. This board simply doesn't offer anything compelling enough to recommend it. ....More
