ASUS M3A78-T

Zitat: Pros: + Performance is good + HD 3300 overclockability Cons: - Overclockability - 4-pin 12V power connector - Conservative voltage option in the bios It wouldn´t be correct to say this motherboard is a bad product, because ... well, it´s not. On standard settings, this motherboard is able to outperform even more recent motherboards in certain tests and is, in other words, perfectly capable of giving you the performance you´d expect from your completely stock system. The only problem to really recommend this motherboard for our average user might be the price, which is still above average, whereas the added features are not really above average. This is, however, still a reviewing website run by hardware enthusiasts, so motherboards ought to perform pretty good when overclocking to get noticed! This aspect of the M3A78-T let us down a bit: except for the excellent HD 3300 overclockability and the above average memory overclocking, this motherboard doesn´t allow us to max out our processor on either raw frequency, IMC frequency or even HTT frequency. Ergo, I´m not going to recommend this board for those who´d like to use it for an overclock-friendly platform: there are other motherboards on the market that will help you get further.
