MSI H57-ED65

Innovation, which will be presented formally shortly , is the motherboard for the Intel LGA-1156 processor . The board is 8-phase power circuits with DrMOS.
On H57 model are realized connectors PCI-E 2.0 x16 (1), PCI (1) and PCI-E x1 (2), there are connectors for the installation of two DDR3 memory. In addition to the six SATA II ports  controllers there is a controller to work with IDE-devices. There is no reliable information on existence of eSATA ports on MSI H57.

Among those who showed the new products on the platform, the company was Inno3D. That producer is better known for its 3D-card, but in this case, was demonstrated by the motherboard size Mini-ITX.

Judging by the presence of the retail packaging, ready to do the card into the trading network. Product features include the provision of complete fans, who wish to set ribbed radiator, and a compact external power supply capacity of 90 Watts.

The fee is equipped with a slot mini PCIe, two slots for memory modules, the three ports of SATA II and one eSATA

To connect to the display device has three connectors: HDMI, DVI and D-Sub.

Motherboard E655 inherited from their predecessors distinctive color scheme. On board CPU slot visible LGA1156, four slots for DDR3 memory modules, and three slots PCI-Express x16, indicating support for multiple graphics subsystems. By the way, as it turned out, pay for the P55 chipset will be able to maintain not only the configuration of CrossFireX, but SLI. As if in confirmation of this, the second picture shows the new fees in place within the system with three adapters that work in SLI.

The fee is equipped with six ports SATA 3 Gb / s adapter Gigabit Ethernet, 8-channel audio codec. Other advantages include its slot for Flash memory, a debug LED, buttons Power, Reset and Clear CMOS.

At the same time, was shown another motherboard for the chipset EVGA P55 – E657, which can be seen in the three lower pictures.

Among the features of this product can be distinguished 12-phase power scheme, the two clock generators and three-chip BIOS.

The source alleges that, in addition, the company is preparing to release version of the Classified motherboard, removed the additional equipment.

For fans of computer games respond to the last question, and partly, and the second relates to whether they have the opportunity to include in the configuration ordered or collected independently of multi-graphics subsystem. More specifically, it is interesting to know whether the support of several 3D-accelerator mode ATI CrossFireX or NVIDIA SLI. If the technology ATI all, it was clear from the outset, there were doubts about the SLI. Overcome them and get a definitive answer helps snapshot, published source.

As shown in the photograph, Intel responds positively to the question. Fee based on Intel P55, shown ComputeX 2009, bears the logo «powered by NVIDIA SLI».

Even with careful examination of payments you can not find it on a chip NF200, continues the source. This means that the SLI support is implemented by the chipset itself. It is known that Intel previously used the same approach in the system patah on the set of system logic X58.

Motherboard GA-P55-UD5 refers to the upper part of the segment. According to a source at the moment it exists in the form of engineering samples, which can still be heavily modified before the date of the official debut, which will be synchronized with the start of sales of Core i5.

An important feature UD5 will pay 24-phase power circuit CPU. You can also note the presence of ports SATA III, and support technology Power eSATA.

The pictures show the fee P57, distinct from the presence of P55-slot Open NAND Flash Interface (ONFI), which is designed for flash-memory module that increases system performance. P55 chipset does not support this functionality.

Slot ONFI visible on the lower right illustration. On the left shows another way to flash memory – mounting chips directly on the motherboard. Gigabyte Experts are exploring both options, trying to choose the best.

The first time modules ONFI will deliver Intel, the source. Later, perhaps, will appear and modules from other manufacturers. Interestingly, in the module in slot ONFI will even install the OS. The principle of the use of flash memory recalls the principle underlying the technology ReadyBoost, but ONFI will be able to provide greater productivity gains.

This opportunity provides the motherboard TP45E Combo, presented this week by BIOSTAR. The fee supports DDR3 800/1066/1333 memory and DDR2 667/800/1066 simultaneously. Among the other advantages of the product manufacturer notes the use of an exclusive energy-saving technology, was designated GPU

Fee size ATX was built on a set of system logic Intel P45/ICH10. It is designed for Intel Core 2 processors with FSB frequency up to 1600 MHz. The capacity expansion are represented by the three slots PCI, two PCI Express x1 slots and one slot PCI Express Gen2 x16. DDR2 DIMM memory modules installed in two slots (the maximum total amount equal to 8 GB). Two more slots designated for modules DDR3 DIMM (total volume of 4 GB). In the equipment fee also includes six SATA ports and six audio subsystem HD Audio.

One of the most interesting of them could take the motherboard with SATA ports 6 Gbit / s (SATA III). Recall, in March this year the company Seagate and AMD have demonstrated the world’s first work of this high-speed interface, which will be added to the desktop platform for the main segment of AMD Pisces. Theoretical maximum speed of the exchange on SATA III interface is 750 MB / s, which exceeds the limit of half the SATA II.

It seems that the company Gigabyte has a chance to become one of the first vendors of motherboards with the new interface. List of novelties, which are equipped with ports SATA III, includes model GA-EP55-UD5, GA-EP55-UD4P and updated version of the model GA-EX58A-Extreme. Since the chipset with support for next-generation SATA yet, the ports listed on the cards sold through the company’s controller, Marvell. It allows you to add four ports SATA III, and six-port SATA II, supports RAID configurations 0 and 1, and can operate as a port multiplier.

This product has received the designation of model AT3GC-I and has a form factor Mini-ITX. The fee is aimed at those who will be busy with the construction of compact type nettop systems.

On board there are the radiator, the fan blows to remove heat from the dual-core Atom 330 processor and system logic – Intel 945GC + ICH7. Pay is supported by the memory type DDR2, running at a frequency of 533 MHz, available in IDE and SATA drives to connect and PCI slot for expansion cards.

The rest of the equipment board ASUS AT3GC-I: 6-channel audio, Ethernet Controller 10/100 Ethernet.

By using the AMD 785G chipset and SB710, board ECS A785GM-M supports the latest 45-nm processors AMD Phenom II, dual 1333 MHz DDR3 memory technology and a hybrid graphics ATI. Integrated graphics core of ATI Radeon HD 4200 provides user support for DirectX 10.1. New product includes a 5-phase feeding scheme that supports processors with TDP up to 125 W, it used only solid capacitors.

Pay-supplied utility for overclocking ECS MIB II. Connectors D-sub-15, DVI and HDMI, located on the rear panel (ECS Ultra), allow any displays or digital panels.

New product will be presented at the Computex 2009.

This motherboard is almost entirely follows the model, announced last fall and already had time to become a topic of our article. Apparent differences relate only to heat pipes in the cooling system – in TPOWER X58A they do not exist. In addition, comparing specifications shows that the board has lost one network adapter and the controller’s FireWire. 

Fee size ATX with a processor socket Socket 1366 is executed on a set of system logic Intel X58 + ICH10R. It supports three-memory 24 GB maximum (six slots). Potential expansion of the system provides three slots PCI-Express 2.0 x16 support ATI CrossFireX and NVIDIA SLI; single slot PCI-Express x1 slot and two PCI. In addition, the board has Gigabit Ethernet adapter, and audio subsystem vosmikanalnaya HD Audio. 

In addition to the impressive facilities, TPOWER X58A has a strong power subsystem built on a «12 +2 phase» (12-phase power supplied to the CPU, 2-phase – in memory). Such a scheme, as alleged, is expanding the capacity of stable operation at high frequencies. It should be noted that we are talking about 12 virtual channels of the converter – details can be read in our review. In addition to enhancing the stability and reliability of contributes to the use of solid-state capacitors in Japan.
