AMD 890FX Mainboards Roundup: ASRock, Asus, Biostar, Gigabyte and MSI
[07/29/10 | Mainboards]
Today we are going to talk about six mainboards on AMD 890FX chipset, namely: ASRock 890FX Deluxe3, Asus M4A89TD Pro and Asus M4A89TD Pro/USB3, Biostar TA890FXE, Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 and MSI 890FXA-GD70. We will compare their technical specifications, BIOS functionality, overclocking potential; will check out their performance and power consumption.

New generation of professional graphics cards from Nvidia uses chips with Fermi architecture. Today we are going to introduce to you one of the new solutions, Quadro 5000 that belongs to high-performance segment and is coming to replace Quadro FX 4800.
The memory controller of the dual-core Clarkdale processors is seriously inferior to the integrated memory controllers of other Intel processors in terms of pure performance. We decided to check if there is a way to fix this situation by using overclocker DDR3 SDRAM.
Highly efficient water blocks for CPUs and graphics cards, two pairs of radiators, fans, coolant and accessories – everything an overclocker may need to fight the summer heat.
We are going to test four Radeon HD 5870 graphics cards in CrossFireX configuration and compare them to a 3-way SLI configuration of three GeForce GTX 480 cards using the newest super-expensive mainboard with seven PCI Express slots onboard, four of which work in 16x mode.
As we have expected, GeForce GTX 465, which we have reviewed previously, did become an intermediate solution. It gave way to true Nvidia fighters intending to restore parity with AMD in the segment of affordable gaming solutions priced around $200. Please meet GeForce GTX 460 1 GB and one of the first graphics cards based on GF104 with factory overclocking in place – Gainward GTX 460 GS GLH!
We are going to talk about four power supply units from Seasonic, three of which continue the legendary S12 series, while the fourth is a completely new product, the first flagship model in the X family.
We do not often get really interesting modifications of inexpensive graphics accelerators, but they are definitely of great interest to those gamers who have limited budget. Today we are going to talk about a graphics card like that.
In our today’s review we are going to talk about the cooling efficiency and acoustic performance of three budget cooling solutions from such well-known makers as Cooler Master, Nexus and Scythe.
We continue series of articles talking about SSD drives. And today we would like to discuss products from Corsair. We managed to get our hands on a total of nine models from almost all existing product families including a new SSD on SandForce controller.
We have just got a new processor in, which runs faster, overclocks better and as a result, heats more. Its overclocking success is even more dependent on the efficiency of the utilized cooling solution. We believe it is a great opportunity to check out the performance of four new coolers and compare them against two old ones in new testing conditions.
