If you already use a P67 motherboard then there is no real reason to upgrade to a Z68 as the only thing you'll gain is the integrated graphics, but if you planning to upgrade to a Sandy Bridge based system then its well worth thinking about the Z28. It...
Overclocks well, Very stable and recovers well if pushed too high, Connectivity is first class, performance is not lacking,
Bios isn't as user friendly as leading products, we experienced some memory compatibility issues at higher speeds, Kitguru says: A strong release from Sapphire, but we hope their development team continue to work on the bios as they lag behind leading des
The Pure Platinum Z68 is another strong release from Sapphire, and over the course of a week we didn't experience any instability. The motherboard is fairly easy to overclock, although it needs more user intervention than the fantastic ASRock Fatal1ty Z68...

Abstract: The initial release of the Sandy Bridge platform brought two new Intel chipsets to the market; the H67 and P67 Express. Both featured exceptional performance due to their support for the new core architecture, but the rub was that only the H67 chipset had...

In a total package sense, the whole process of building a computer and messing with settings has gotten me back into computing as a whole. With myself, work and school have been my life, over the last 5 years or so, and my interest in computers was mor...
The Z68 chipset has many similar characteristics and features to P67 and H67, in what appears to be a successful marriage of the two. For any users expecting earth-shattering changes or mythical performance enhancements, there is no such thing here. Z6...
Sapphire continues to take me on an emotional roller coaster when it comes to the motherboard market. The last board we looked at based on the A75 hit the ball out of the park. The Z68 offering we're looking at today was bit of a strike out. Unlike t...

Gigabyte G1.Sniper 2: Overall I would have to say I am pleased with the performance delivered by the Gigabyte G1.Sniper 2 motherboard. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would have to give it an 8, as I was not able to reach the limits of my poor beat up 2600K....
