Sapphire Pure Black x58

When you think of Sapphire, the platform that mostly comes to mind is AMD. This is probably because Sapphire is the largest company producing and distributing ATI products. Now, however, we may be looking at an entirely different ball game. With the introduction of the Pure Black x58 and the x67 boards, Sapphire seems to going straight for the Intel market and is not holding back. Just from one look at the Pure Black black motherboard one can already tell that this product was specifically designed and aimed at enthusiasts and gamers. This sort of late introduction into the market on the x58 platform along with its high-end price tag and specs could place the board into a “dark horse” category. But the real question is: does it have what it takes to take a spot in the lead or will it be shoved aside as another imitation? We decided to find out. Looking at the Pure Black motherboard on paper, it seems to have all the right ingredients in order to make it one of top performing boards out there. Some of the eye candy features include USB3, SATA III, 3 PCI Express 2.0 slots and a whole plethora of other options that seems to be on top every geeks list of nice haves.

Sapphire Pure Black X58 Review

No, you read the title right! Sapphire has jumped into the Intel based motherboard market with its Pure Black PB-CI7S41X58 motherboard. As AMD's largest partner, the motherboard offerings out of Sapphire's doors in the past had been strictly AMD based. Now, we have not one but two Intel boards that have been released with this X58 board and a P67-based board coming for Intel's Sandybridge lineup. While the Socket 1366 X58 platform is starting to age, the platform is still the Intel top-of-the-food-chain. Sapphire has been building their own video cards and motherboards for some time now and you can see some of the component selection being employed here on this "Pure Black" offering. One thing that stood out were the Sapphire branded Diamond Black chokes seen on the Sapphire VaporX line of video cards. You get all the X58 based goodies with updates that include a Bluetooth module, SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0 connectivity. If this board can can deliver performance and overclocking like the Sapphire high-end video cards then this board should prove itself to be a serious contender. Let's see how it measures up against some of the higher-end boards out right now.

Sapphire Pure Black X58 review

Seemingly from out of nowhere, here comes AMD heartthrob, Sapphire, with a top-end Intel motherboard, the Pure Black X58.Now, it's no stranger to motherboard manufacturing but due to its AMD leanings in the past, as its largest graphics board partner, the expectation was that Sapphire would remain loyal to the AMD mainboard market.That's not to say Sapphire is necessarily being dis-loyal with this release however, the X58 represents a chipset far beyond anything that AMD is able to produce at the moment. As the only triple-channel desktop chipset around, and with a general price-tag to match the sky-high performance, it's quite apart from the top end of AMD's offerings. And as the components market gets tougher more and more companies are having to diversify in order to compete, or sometimes just to stay afloat.There has been speculation at every trade show this millennium as to whether Sapphire was going to go all GPU agnostic and start creating NVIDIA graphics cards. That would've likely been a disastrous move though, destroying the good work it has done with ATI and AMD in the past.Producing Intel motherboards though is less likely to hurt that relationship and supporting the majority system platform can only be good sense.
