USB 3.1 Preview Testing with Asus
Using an early version of the Asus Z97-A USB 3.1 motherboard, we put the new tech to the test
We take a sneak peak at one of the first motherboards we've seen that's ready for Intel's up-coming, 32nm Westmere CPUs. MSI's H57M-ED65 is a micro-ATX board that really looks the part, with chunky heastsinks, stylish design and layout and display outputs for the CPU's integrated GPU.
November 22, 2009 | 10:59The first LGA1156 motherboards are just starting to trickle into the bit-tech labs. As we're still being held at bay with the performance numbers, we take a look at Asus' particularly striking P7P55 Deluxe to see what kind of features we can expect from the pending range.
August 6, 2009 | 10:29We've got our hands on an early, working sample of Gigabyte's upcoming P55-based GA-P55-UD5 motherboard. It's another LGA1156 hoping to win the hearts of early Lynnfield adopters, so we've had a look at the board to see what you can expect if you opt for a new Intel and Gigabyte system in the Autumn.
July 14, 2009 | 12:17Gigabyte drops us the barebones of its new Extreme X58 motherboards with the, uh, EX58-Extreme. With ten SATA, six DIMMs, three PCI-Express x16 and the latest Ultra Durable technology, what do we think to Gigabyte's latest and greatest?
October 10, 2008 | 07:48Asus' new Rampage II Extreme is about as high-end as they come. Designed for Intel's next generation Core i7 CPU and X58 chipset, it's got one purpose only: extreme overclocking and breaking records. Well, OK, that's two but we digress...
October 7, 2008 | 10:40We've got the low down on exactly what AMD's new "performance-leading" integrated graphics northbridge offers, in addition to its latest southbridge which is apparently primed for some super-overclocking. Has the AMD platform finally come good again?
August 6, 2008 | 08:03We take a quick first look at the new Asus P45-based Republic of Gamer motherboard: the Maximus II Formula. We also have a look at the company's new feature packed P5Q3 Deluxe WiFi-AP @n to see what's hot, what's green and if it's potentially worth the upgrade.
May 16, 2008 | 08:07During our trip to China and Taiwan earlier this month, we paid a visit to MSI's headquarters in Taipei to see what the company is up to. Today, we've got pictures and thoughts on two of the company's newest motherboards - the P45 Platinum and K9N2 Diamond.
April 18, 2008 | 11:59We have a UK exclusive early look at Gigabyte's next-generation P45-DS5 motherboard. It's DDR2 based and will be released in May when the chipset is officially launched. Let's find out what's changed from Gigabyte's current P35 range of motherboards.
April 14, 2008 | 13:50The BIOS has been around for more than 20 years now, so you could say it's been around for a while. Is it time for a replacement? Well, MSI has just begun trials of its first mobo with an EFI BIOS - we bring you up to speed with what it does, and if it's worth getting excited about.
