DFI LANParty DK P55-T3eH9 Motherboard

As we all know (by now), DFI is a manufacturer known for stuffing in as many overclocking options as they can in their motherboards. They became famous on the back of the nForce 4 LANParty boards. These were some of the best boards for AMD overclocking that you could buy. DFI has continued this mindset and still offer some of the most “tweakable” boards out. So, what of the P55? DFI has finally released its own P55 based board. This is the LANParty DK P55-T3eH9; a board that could...

ASRock P55 Deluxe Lynnfield Motherboard

After the visit by a Taiwanese based ASRock engineer to our lab here in Florida, we feel that ASRock is truly committed to making a better product.

First look at the ASUS Sabertooth 55i Motherboard (video)

The ASUS Sabertooth 55i motherboard is obviously based on Intel’s recently launched P55 Express chipset for the Socket LGA-1156 Core i5 and Core i7 processors and includes dual channel DDR3-1333 memory support. What is interesting about this board is that it is part of the Ultimate Force brand from ASUS, which we have heard little about in the past. Sadly we couldn’t find any ASUS reps during the event, so we are a little unclear on details, but you can get a good look at the upcoming...

Asus P7P55D Deluxe Preview

The introduction of a new platform is always a rather secretive affair but as the i5 launch date nears, P55 chipset motherboard previews are coming through thick and fast. Although whispers of high overclocks and unrivalled performance are usually rumoured with a new socket, the i5 series seems to appeal more to the average user as a mid range CPU rather than full out performance for hardcore enthusiasts that the i7 can provide. Early indications also seem to point towards the LGA1156...

GIGABYTE MA785GPM-UD2H 785G AM3 Motherboard
