MSI P35 Diamond(@bit-tech.net) Quote:
The MSI P35 Diamond performs well but isn't exceptional and the additional extras are a welcome effort but might not appeal to everyone.
I constantly found myself writing "disappointed" here and there, which I still am - it just doesn't live up to what we'd expect from a Diamond-series board - especially since I've seen what the X38 Diamond has in potential.
| Foxconn MARS: God of War Performance?(@Anandtech) Quote: |
Our E6400 reached a final FSB setting of 520. We were unable to reach the advertised 575FSB that Foxconn has shown. Any attempt to boot the board past 530FSB resulted in three beeps and a return to stock settings.

After some experimentation, we found the board was very easy to overclock, though it requires higher memory voltages than our other P35 boards.

...we honestly have to say that Foxconn surprised us; the performance potential is definitely there, the layout is right on, and the feature set is competitive in this class.
| ASUS P5E3 Mobo – X38 and DDR3 is here(@TweakTown) Quote: |
ASUS has truly done a good job at this early stage of the race, hopefully with new BIOS updates and better revision silicon in the future we will see overclocking beyond the 600 MHz FSB mark.
| Awarded with TweakTown Must Have Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 (@HardwareZone) Quote: |
Since the first revision of the GA-P35-DQ6, Gigabyte has had time to revise the PCB design of the board and the GA-X38-DQ6 is very much more cable friendly than before. The small tweaks here and there make the board easier to work with and less cluttered, all good things.

The general performance of the GA-X38-DQ6 has also improved over the GA-P35-DQ6. Benchmark results now put the GA-X38-DQ6 almost on par with the likes of the ASUS Blitz Formula.

...what was most interesting is that the X38 Diamond features four PCIe x16 slots.
