The original Core i7 processors, which use the LGA 1366 socket, are a no-compromise design for all-out performance. Confusingly, late last year Intel released a new range of Core i7s for the LGA 1156 socket, but these just weren’t as quick. Asus's rele...

Multi GPU configurations and workstations with high memory requirements were practically the only ones that really needed the 1366. With Intel’s introduction of six core CPUs exclusively for 1366, this platform got another plus to its side.

Yesterday we posted our review of the new revision of the , a board that has dominated the lucrative lower end of the LGA1366 market for a number of months now. Indeed, the UD3R used to be one the cheapest LGA1366 boards that we had tested, and y...

When building a computer you will always need to use a motherboard. Whether or not you use a high or low end board depends on the type of rig you'll be constructing. ASUS is one of those companies that has a motherboard available for every budget, so...

The 775 generation of motherboards made a lot of our jaws drop as the more extreme motherboards headed towards, and sometimes even upwards, of £200. For those of us brought up on £80 motherboards this was quite a shock.Of course once the LGA1366 X58 mo...
