Today's roundup contains more hardware concerned with the Intel LGA1156 platform starting with the Asus P7P55D Deluxe motherboard (also previewed by OCC here). Neoseeker checks out the MSI X58 board for those wanting a Core i7 build based on the LGA1366 socket. To keep the new Core i5/i7 processors cool, you're going to need a heatsink compatible with the LGA1156 socket like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus (reviewed by OCC here). Of course, Intel is not the only new game in town as AMD recently released the Phenom II X4 965 (reviewed by OCC here), its latest flagship processor.
