Asrock X79 Extreme 4Score: 9 – Highly Commended Value for money: 9Despite its slightly tacky gold highlights, the X79 Extreme4 is not just about the bling, and is actually a superb performer with interesting features such as an active cooler, a rare sight on an X79 board. Micro Mart were surprised by the speeds they were able to squeeze out of it and said there were no obvious drawbacks to mention, making this a superb offering for the money. more ...

Asus P9X79 PROScore: 9 – Editor's Choice Value for money: 9You won't find any exciting features on the P9X79 Pro, Micro Mart say, but it's a solid performer that offers great value for money and doesn't disappoint in any respect. There's ample room for up to 3 graphics cards, connectivity is well catered for, and overclocking and managing power consumption are a breeze. It lacks a Firewire port, but this shouldn't be an issue for most users. more ... (3 reviews & 13 opinions) |

GigaByte GA-X79-UD3Score: 8 Value for money: 8At first sight, the most interesting aspect of the X79-UD3 is its intuitive graphic setup screen, but there's a lot more to like here, say Micro Mart. There are more USB ports on board than you can shake a stick at, four PCI-Express slots and its overclocking capabilities are quite impressive for the price, although this is something that must be done using third-party software. more ...

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)Score: 7 Value for money: 6If the X79A-GD65 weren't so expensive maybe Micro Mart would have given it a better score, but despite its overclocking capabilities, generous amount of USB ports and bundled expansion brackets, it can't compete with other manufacturers' offerings when it comes to value for money, besides drawing a huge amount of power when under load. more ...

Intel DX79SIScore: 6 Value for money: 6Intel's DX79SI seems to offer a lot of bang for your buck, but unfortunately it ultimately fails to deliver. Micro Mart were very critical of its lack of native USB 3.0 support, stingy amount of SATA 6Gbps ports and lack of onboard one-click overclocking tools, making it a very disappointing offering, especially at this price point. more ...

Foxconn Quantumian 1Score: 5 Value for money: 5The high price tag of the Quantumian 1 means that it should deliver exceptional performance on all fronts to make it worth the outlay, but according to Micro Mart, it's simply not the case. The BIOS can't be updated directly, there are only four DDR3 slots and overclocking is much more complicated than it should be, making for a very disappointing offering overall. |
