MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt Motherboard Review
|
 Going into the review, I had high expectations based on my experiences with MSI`s Z77 MPOWER board. The Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt did not disappoint. While it doesn`t have all the bells and whistles of the higher boards, MSI kept to a usable feature set and did not compromise on the board build quality or design layout. The board performs well in both stock and overclocked conditions with its performance more than I expected from such a moderately priced board. One of the more impressive features of the board is its included Thunderbolt port in the rear panel - MSI was able to include that in the board`s design without compromising much."

ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z Review: Cream of the Crop for AM3+
|
|
AMD enthusiasts will want to take a long, hard look at this board. It offers a compelling package for the price. The issue is again the seeming dead end socket that it embraces. Vishera looks about as good as it will get. I am not entirely certain that there will be a significant refresh of Vishera parts (eg. FX-8450 or the like). Still, it is hard to ignore this product."

Gigabyte Z77X-UD4H Motherboard Review @ ThinkComputers.org
|
|
It has been quite a while since we have taken a look at a motherboard from Gigabyte. The last board we looked at was the Z77X-UD3H back when the Z77 chipset first launched. It has been quite a while since the Z77 launch and we are seeing a second round of Z77 motherboards appear. The Z77X-UD4H is part of of this new round of motherboards and builds upon the UD3H by adding some new features to the board. The Z77X-UD4H is a great motherboard for people looking to get into the Z77 chipset without having to drop a whole lot of money. Right now the Z77X-UD4H is selling for $164.99, which makes it one of the more inexpensive Z77 motherboards available. Dont let the price tag fool you though, this board is filled with great features! Lets dive in"

USB 3.0 problems for Intel's Haswell
|
|
In the document, Intel purportedly informs manufacturers that a system with Haswell inside, when waking from S3 sleep mode, will experience issues with devices connected through USB 3.0. For example this would result in blank pages displaying in Acrobat Reader PDFs or video playback stopping, rather than continuing. A quick fix would be to restart the failing application.
