    ASUS P8P67 Motherboard Review

    By Daniel Dobrowolski   June 14, 2011

    ASUS' P67 chipset product portfolio can get fairly confusing at times with the slew of "P8P67" models. This time we are taking a look at the "vanilla" P8P67. Though you could say its vanilla with a lot of twists as this board offers a "B3" stepping version of the supporting chipset and sports a very solid feature set for "vanilla."

    By Morry Teitelman   May 16, 2011

    The Sabertooth P67 motherboard is the latest member of ASUS' TUF series of products. The board is built to be champion, with some of the best performance we have seem to date out of the Intel P67 platform.

    ASUS P8Z68-V Pro Z68 Chipset Motherboard Review

    By Daniel Dobrowolski   May 11, 2011

    When Intel brought out the P67 and H67 chipsets, many enthusiasts complained that the features of one or the other were only available on one or the other, but not both. Intel has heard the community and is therefore launching the Z68 chipset. As usual ASUS is among the first board makers to offer a board featuring this latest chipset. The ASUS P8Z68-V Pro promises to be an interesting first look at this new chipset.

    MSI 890FXA-GD65 AM3 Motherboard Review

    By Daniel Dobrowolski   April 13, 2011

    With LGA1155 boards being all the rage, it’s easy to forget about those who are using the AM3 platform. We rectify that by taking a long [H]ard look at the MSI 890FXA-GD65. A simple and very basic design that makes up for its lack of features in many ways. For around $130 it may be just what the OC Genie ordered.

    Intel DX58SO2 LGA 1366 X58 Motherboard Review

    By Daniel Dobrowolski   March 28, 2011

    We don’t generally cover Intel branded motherboards because those products do not pop up that often on the enthusiast radar. Intel does have an "extreme" flagship X58 motherboard that may be worth your attention. We fire up Intel's DX58SO2!

    ASUS P8P67 Deluxe Motherboard Review

    By Daniel Dobrowolski   March 03, 2011

    ASUS has a ton of P8P67 variants. Some are light on features, some aren’t. The P8P67 Deluxe is certainly anything but light on features but how does it perform? How does it stack up in the sea of recent P67 Express based boards?

    By Morry Teitelman   January 27, 2011

    The P67A-UD4 one of the newest releases from GIGABYTE supporting the socket LGA1155 Sandy Bridge processors. What the board does not have in features, it more than makes up for in style and raw performance.

    By Daniel Dobrowolski   January 20, 2011

    Gigabyte is one of many manufacturers on the Sandy Bridge and P67 chipset bandwagon. We examine its latest offering, the P67A-UD7. A high end solution designed for the gamer and the hardware enthusiast. With so many P67 boards already out there to choose from, just how does the P67A-UD7 stack up?
