X48 is new, but there are many boards already begging for your dollars. We are taking a look at the most robust of them all, the P5E3 Premium, which includes built-in WiFi, a great board design and fantastic overclocking abilities. It would almost be a perfect board if it weren't for the $375 price tag.
There are few P31-based motherboards on the market, but as we find out, they are well-deserving of some attention. The board we are taking a look at today hovers around $100, but despite it's value status, it's a great offering.
If you're on the lookout for a DDR3 motherboard, the P5E3 Deluxe proves to be a superb choice. It's one of the most feature-packed offerings on the market, with it's passive cooling, on-board WiFi, high energy efficiency and even a remote control - all while being a solid overclocker as well.
Choosing the perfect motherboard and processor could be a difficult task if you don't know what to look for, but we take out the hassle and deliver a list of options you should peruse. Both AMD and Intel are covered, as are all price-ranges.
We took a look at the Blitz Formula and Extreme boards from ASUS just over two months ago, and now we have the X38 version of those boards on the bench today. In addition to featuring a Northbridge waterblock, it also has "extreme" overclocking ability and a great bundle.
