While this post is a couple of months late, I wanted to inform Motherboard News readers that it is unlikely that there will be new posts in the near future. Motherboard News was a passion project for me, but as priorities in life changed I found that I no longer had the time to give [...]

With CES 2012 hitting its stride we have more motherboard news to bring you today! Remember those Z77 motherboards from GIGABYTE that we mentioned yesterday? Well, the folks over at VR-Zone have a great preview of them so be sure to check it out. Also from GIGABYTE we have a handful of new motherboard features [...]
As you read this, Ivy Bridge motherboards featuring Intel’s Z77 chipset (essentially the successor to Z68) are being shown off at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. We’ll be bringing you motherboard coverage all week, but today we have two of the major players showing off a couple brand new motherboards. First off, [...]
Earlier today MSI officially announced their flagship X79 motherboard – the Big Bang-XPower II – and while we took a look at this motherboard a couple of months ago, this board will surely fit in with the already-available high-end offerings from GIGABYTE, ASUS and ASRock. Among many, many other things, the Big Bang-XPower II features [...]
Last week, via their Facebook page, ASRock showed off a couple of Transformer-themed X79 motherboards – the X79 Bumblebee and the X79 Optimus Prime. The mockups of these two motherboards are essentially the X79 Extreme9 with a different colour scheme. Remember that these are just concepts and we think it is unlikely that ASRock will [...]
Motherboard manufacturer, MSI, just announced that they will be releasing two new motherboard peripherals – the MultiConnect panel and Voice Genie expansion card. The MultiConnect panel is a 5.25″ accessory that features Bluetooth 3.0 and wireless 802.11N connectivity as well as two USB 2.0 ports. An OC Genie button on the panel also allows for [...]
It’s not too often that we have motherboards recalled and it’s even less often that we have high-end motherboards being recalled. Yes, that’s right…today GIGABYTE recalled three X79-based motherboards – the GA-X79-UD3, GA-X79-UD5 and the G1.Assassin 2. These motherboards reportedly suffer from a widespread issue revolving around the VRM’s and what happens to them when [...]
It’s not everyday that we see a massive release like this, but today AMD announced that they will be adding a total of 13, yes, thirteen, APUs to their A-Series APU lineup. Among these thirteen APUs we have 5 on the desktop side with the two of them unlocked (the A8-3870K and A6-3670K) and a total of [...]
With an already impressive X79 motherboard lineup, MSI has announced yet another, the X79A-GD45 (8D). As one would expect, this motherboard features 8 quad-channel DDR3 DIMM slots, Intel’s X79 chipset and LGA 2011 socket. While this board shares most of its name with the X79A-GD45, when it comes to overall features it relates more to [...]
Until now GIGABYTE has stayed quite silent on their UEFI implementation, but today we have something quite unique to show you – GIGABYTE’s brand new 3D BIOS Dual UEFI BIOS (yes, it is a mouthful). Rather than going the way of MSI, ASUS and ASRock, who all use a mix of graphics and text in [...]
