A great board for a very fast workstation. Good power manŽagement and board design is excellent.

GPUs, you'd be better off with our second placed board. There aren't too many fancy features on this board, but the EPU Six-Engine techŽnology is notable. This moniŽtors the performance of the board, and automatically lowŽers the speeds when the board is idle.

This translates to power savings, and a board that runs cool. Runners up: The MSI P7N2 Diamond is an all-out enthusiŽast board, with more features than you can shake a stick at. It's got a high price tag, but the support for all the latest technology, and an 790i Ultra chipset make it worth it. Intel's own DX38BT makes it into third place with a steady board that has Intel's quality.
