Asus P7H57D-V EVO LGA 1156/Intel H57/DDR3(2133OC)/ USB3.0 & SATA 6Gb/s - ATX Motherboard |
Following the recent introduction of Intel's Core i3 and Core i5 CPUs family (codenamed Clarkdale), it's now possible to get an Intel processor equipped with not just an IMC (Integrated Memory Controller), but also for the first time ever with an on-chip IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor). To facilitate the new parts, Intel launched two chipsets on the same time, H55 and H57. Asus implements the H57 on its P7H57D-V EVO. In the box, you'll get a few SATA cables and a PCI bracket that offers eSATA and a few more USB ports. There's also an SLI bracket, IDE cable, the Asus Q-Shield and the usual manual and driver discs too. The layout of Asus's P7H57D-V EVO is, for the most part, very good. Equipped with four DDR3 DIMM slots, this Intel motheboard should theoretically support up to 16GB of RAM running at 1,600MHz. However, due to IMC limitations, unless utilising a Core i7 860 or Core i7 870 processor, the CPU will require a mild overclock to run the memory beyond 1,333MHz. The two PCI-Express x16 2.0 slots can be split into either x16-x1 or x8-x8 for CrossFire and SLI, although only Lynnfield CPUs support this multi-GPU arrangement. Asus P7H57D-V EVO is a great performing Intel mainboard. The TurboV EVO in combination with the EPU-6 gives you some excellent options for power management and easy overclocking. The Hybrid Phase design on the H57D-V EVO motherboard helps to keep everything running with stable and clean power.

Zotac G31MAT-A-E Intel LGA 775 |
In the midst of the emergence of new processors using LGA 1156 and 1366 platform that seemed to constantly trying to erode the dominance of the previous generation processor, the Core 2 Duo/Quad processor based of LGA 775 socket is still maintaining its existence. Zotac is the one who dared to come up with new product variants using processor platform that slowly but surely this will be replaced. The Intel mainboard G31MAT-A-E from Zotac offers an alternative for those who are still interested with the LGA 775 processors. Zotac G31MAT-A-E comes with old Intel G31 chipset as Northbridge and Intel ICH7 as its Southbridge. As a result, the latest common features which normaly present in a modern motherboards, like PCI-Express 2.0, was forced to absent because it is not supported by the G31. Like a value class motherboards, Zotac G31MAT-A-E motherboard has minimal accessories that included in the package. However, Zotac is kind enough to include standard equipment such as IDE and SATA cables.Although, the chipset and supported equipments are outdated, Zotac G31MAT-A-E motherboard has high-performance for its class. In short, if you don't mind with the limitations of the chipset and the latest hardware support it has, this Intel motherboard can be an affordable alternative.

Asus P7P55D-E Premium LGA1156 |
Since the release of Intel mainstream class chipset, Intel P55, there are many variants of Intel motherboard used this chipset in the market. Some mainboard manufacturers equip their P55 motherboard with 6 Gbps SATA and USB 3.0, as seen on Asus P7P55D-E Premium motherboard. Originally, Intel P55 chipset itself does not support 6 Gbps SATA and USB 3.0. Both of these features are available through third-party chipsets. For 6 Gbps SATA features, Asus uses chipset from Marvell. Meanwhile, to feature USB 3.0, the chipset used is from NEC. In this Intel motherboard, ASUS provides 2 slots for 6 Gbps SATA slots as well as USB 3.0 ports. On the whole of P7P55D-E Premium motherboard, Asus already uses solid Capasitor technology. A total of 32+3 power phase from Asus is also placed around the processor socket. Meanwhile, 2 x PCI Express x16 slots is ready to accommodate the two types of multi-graphics cards, ATI CrossFireX and nVidia SLI. If you are not satisfied with its standards performance, Asus provides a variety of menu choices in BIOS for overclocking. Beside that, Asus also provides a TurboV Remote hardware in the sales package, for realtime overclocking. The "Premium" name of this Intel motherboard is indeed comparable to the sales package and components on this Asus P7P55D-E Premium motherboard.
