Today we are going to discuss a not very expensive mainboard with remarkable functionality that is targeted for overclocking fans.
Nvidia proposed a way to improve typical nettop and netbook platforms by adding an integrated chipset with high-performance GeForce 9400 graphics core. We tested an engineering sample of a system like that and are ready to tell you with all certainty if Nvidia could make the nettop and netbook world any better.
We tested two LGA775 mainboards designed in Mini-ITX form-factor: Intel DG45FC and Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi. These boards based on Intel G45 Express and Nvidia GeForce 9300 chipsets can become an excellent base not only for an HTPC system, but also for a compact high-performance platform.
We continue checking out mainboards for new AMD processors that seem pretty attractive from certain standpoints. Read about the new solutions from Gigabyte in our review!
We are going to use AMD Phenom II X4 810 processor to study the peculiarities and features of the AMD 790GX based mainboard with an integrated ATI Radeon HD 3300 graphics core. Read our new review for details.
Today we are going to talk about the features of Asus LGA1366 mainboards and will see how they compare against the competing solutions from Gigabyte.
At first ASRock solutions stood out due to an extravagant combination of seemingly incompatible processors, chipsets and technologies – all at a very affordable price. Now the company is offering solutions built on top-of-the-line chipsets that tend to cost substantial money. Read about a new solution like that in our today’s review!
Today we will talk about the design and functionality of two newest mainboards from Gigabyte. We will dwell on the differences between them, find out what their strengths and weaknesses are, reveal their performance and power consumption.
We are going to review the ultimately best overclocker mainboard for LGA775 processors with DDR3 SDRAM support and the largest heatsink system you have ever seen on a mainboard!
