Tech Gadget Review

On the Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H is the first motherboard we’ve seen from the new Nvidia GeForce 9400 chipset, but we saw something similar in recent times; ASUS P5N7A-VM. This model uses a chipset NVIDIA GeForce 9300, which is almost identical in every aspect. Both the Core 2 processor support, in front of the bus to 1333MHz, and 800MHz DDR2 memory, but there is a small difference of a core graphic. In 9300 work at 450MHz core and has 16 unified shaders, which are clocked at 1200MHz, while the core rate in 9400 is 580MHz and 1400MHz shader run. Graphics memory is 256MB or 512MB of system memory division and clearly the speed is dictated by the type of memory that you choose. Nvidia GeForce 9300/9400 stipulates that supports DDR2-800 and DDR3-1333.[Trustedreviews]

Motherboard, which was referred to Asus P5N7A-VM and now it’s time to take a second look at the GF9300-9300M AE.  This is the first motherboard we’ve seen from Zotac so it will interesting to see how this relative newcomer is not with his first forays in this highly competitive market. We estimated Asus that P5N7A-VM would be sold for £ 80 - £ 85 and surprisingly still have not appeared for sale in the UK so I’m glad to hear that the price of £ 82.67 this Zotac is slap bang in the middle of the estimated range.[Trustedreviews]

Intel is really odci?ga all the stops when it comes to his 4 Series chipsets. So far we only have three players; x48, P45 and P41 to P43 chipsets on the market because the entry level of hope that one day before the end of the year. P45 already proven that it is valuable for medium-and chipset fan, but without its full speed Crossfire support it will not be used for operations Quad GPU. Intel’s P43 is in the mid-range chipset designed to integrate values and the end of the spectrum. It is almost identical specifications to P45, but does not support Crossfire configuration of the truth and is aimed at the more budget conscious users. Today we have sent the first GIGABYTE EP43-DS3R Motherboard-based motherboard to support older technology Ultra Durable 2, as well as advanced DES, a perfect companion for HTPCs and workstations. Let’s see how Fairs.[tweaktown]

MSI is a scattergun approach of the AMD 790GX based motherboards with the chipset primary, secondary and high-end model in the tender. However, it’s the mid-range MSI DKA790GX that is at the center of our attention today.  It has dual graphics slots that support CrossFireX, and also has a cooling system called funky circulation Lite-Pipe, which certainly catches the eye. On a more technical note, there is a model that the code of the leading D, which is a reference to the regulation of power DrMOS. It is an integrated voltage regulator module, which we saw on the P45 Platinum. But this is the first time DrMOS system has been used on AMD’s motherboard.  The idea is that DrMOS combines control circuit and two MOSFETs in one chip, which reduces the number of components on the motherboard, but more importantly reduces energy consumption and waste heat, which has the potential to allow for extreme overclocking. We enjoyed great success of our overclocking phenom X4 9850 at 3.1GHz to Foxconn A7DA-S so the prospect of additional tools overclocking in the 790GX chipset it looks as intriguing proposition.[Trustedreviews]

Intel DG45FC breaks new motherboard, since the first Mini-ITX motherboard, we have already with a regular desktop processor socket. While Mobile on the desktop (MODT) boards are fairly common, those using mobile phones (notebook) chipset and processor in the form factor desktop. For example, Jetway J9F2 (Socket F Intel Mobile) or excellent MSI MS-9803 (Mobile Intel Socket P). They are popular because they are very low power yet fully functional, so great are intended for use in Home Theater PC (HTPCs) or custom in-car entertainment devices.

AMD recently launched SB750, which in combination with Advanced Calibration Clock (ACC) showed a better performance Pheneom to overclock processors. The SB750 is associated with AMD 790GX chipset and refresh the 790FX chipset. nVidia also wants to use the ACC and is therefore working to refresh the chipset nForce 780a SLI. The latest version of nForce 780a SLI will have a different Southbridge overclocking and more options in the BIOS.[Hardware]

You will not guess it from the model, but the code Foxconn A7DA-S AMD 790GX Motherboard uses a new Intel chipset 790GX. This is an interesting piece of silicon that can think as a 790x chipset with the addition of the Radeon HD3200 graphics with core 780G. Adding a relatively weak core chipset graphic for that is capable of CrossFire may sound like a strange idea, but it is not a method on AMD’s apparent madness as effectively 790GX offers two boards in one.[trustedreviews]

NVIDIA GeForce 8300 chipset that lies at the heart of this Asus M3N78 Pro motherboard Asus gave a very long list of options and choices. In the packaging of the core integrated graphics chipset, which also bears the name of GeForce 8300, however, the specification of 16 Unified shading, which operate at 500MHz is very similar to the GeForce 8400 GS with the core of the NVIDIA GeForce 780a SLI chipset. Sometimes I wonder whether Nvidia introduces these codes only to model cause confusion.[trustedreviews]

At the briefing were defeated by Asus looks at Asus Maximus II Formula, which earns its name as a successor to the original formula Maximus. There are three Maximuses (Maximii?) In the original series and last year reviewed the top-line Maximus Formula Extreme, which takes the basic Maximus chipset cooler and added that he is ready to be plumbed for its water cooling system. Meanwhile, in the middle range, we have Maximus SE Fusion cooling system, which is cooled by air, but it offers the possibility to use the cooling water and bringing up the rear is plain old Maxim, that simply uses a passive cooling system.[Trustedreviews]

The GTX 280, on average, the fastest graphics card, you can now buy one, but also seriously hefty price tag, which most of us simply do not consider resorting to pay. This fact was driven home with all the subtlety of sledgehammer by ATI, a week or so later, when they released their own brand new card, in the form of HD 4870 and proved to be great, that performance does not cost the earth.

Is this the end, nVidia may have a hard time over the next few months, as the vast majority of people considered limited because of the additional 40 per cent pay only for the (average) 10 percent more performance. But this is not the end, because nVidia also just released a GTX 260, which uses the same chip GT200 GTX 280, but has a few bits of it off, so it is somewhat slower, but most importantly it costs less. So let’s see how it stacks.[Trustedreviews]
