The P55 platform was recently released as a more economical alternative to the enthusiast X58 platform. For this roundup we have lined up four motherboards that try to cover the $100 to $250 spectrum in roughly equal price jumps. The results are quite interesting in both the stock clock tests and the maximum overclock tests, so hold on for a book of a review.

Now that we've highlighted each board, I can now go against what I said and declare a winner. The winner, due to it catering to exactly what I enjoy, is the EVGA P55 FTW. I'll be holding on to all the boards in anticipation of the 32nm LGA1156 processor launch next month but the EVGA P55 FTW will be the board of choice for me. If you need a budget board grab the ECS P55H-A. If you need a solid well-rounded board, grab the MSI P55-GD65. If you want to overclock LGA1156 processors grab the EVGA P55 FTW. If you want SATA-III/USB3.0 support and an easily overclocked board grab the Gigabyte P55A-UD6.
