Elitegroup, also known as ECS, has been making motherboards for quite some time and today the folks over at X-bit Labs have put two of their premium P67 motherboards,the P67H2-A and the P67H2-A2, under the microscope in their review. Both of these boards feature the ECS “Black Series” colour scheme, which looks fantastic, and are packed [...]

Last month we took a look at EVGA’s first foray into the Sandy Bridge platform by introducing their P67 SLI motherboard. If the features alone were not enough, the P67 SLI sported an awesome black, red and grey colour scheme on a near-perfectly laid-out black PCB. Well, thankfully EVGA has not only carried forward this [...]
KitGuru is reporting that GIGABYTE has stopped production of LGA 1155 P67 motherboards in order to focus on their Z68 motherboards, which are due out soon. This shouldn’t come as a huge shock as the Z68 chipset from Intel builds upon the P67 capabilities by adding support for integrated graphics, which exist on all Sandy Bridge [...]
Up until now, the still-new LGA 1155 motherboard line up has not had too much competition at the top of the price range. Yes, we have the Maximus IV Extreme from ASUS and the UD7 from GIGABYTE, but neither of those motherboards offer extreme gaming performance. Enter the quad-graphics card capable Big Bang Marshall from [...]
In January 2011, Intel launched their Sandy Bridge line of processors to a great deal of fanfare. Unfortunately, less than a month later, Intel recalled all Sandy Bridge motherboards due to the potential for degraded SATA performance over time, which was caused by faulty chipset logic. While this issue may have cost Intel over $1 [...]
This weekend we have seen two brand new motherboards appear in the P67 section of the GIGABYTE website. These two boards, the GA-P67X-UD3 and GA-P67X-UD3R, are the first to move away from the P67A branding that GIGABYTE attached to their launch P67 motherboards. After a quick inspection, these P67X motherboards appear to be far more [...]
MSI has become a powerhouse in the consumer and enthusiast motherboard market in recent years. Their high build quality and ability to deliver stable power to overclockers has made them a great choice for anyone to get the most out of their system. With their “Military Class” components, OC Genie overclocking tools and DrMOS power [...]
Taiwanese-based hardware manufacturer, ASRock, has been making substantial gains in the enthusiast motherboard market over the last couple of years after previously focusing on OEM production. When ASRock first hit the enthusiast market, users were skeptical, and rightfully so. Quality and stability did not match the competition, but the price was always appealing. Well, things have changed since [...]
After focusing on becoming a graphics card producing powerhouse, EVGA has, in recent years, also taken a shot at the high-end motherboard market – and quite successfully, I might add. Renowned for their build quality and excellent support, EVGA has produced some stellar motherboards, including the infamous EVGA Classified SR-2 board that includes dual-CPU support. [...]
