Default [TPU] Gigabyyte GA-X58 EXTREME
Quote:
Motherboard vendors are preparing rigorously for catering to the market that the upcoming Intel Core i7 series processors generate. The processors are based on a new 1366-pin land grid array (LGA-1366) socket and would require you to purchase a compatible motherboard. ASUS had recently revealed that it would be in a position to make its LGA-1366 offerings available by launch-day of the Core i7. Gigabyte is getting ready with its high-end offering, the GA-X58-EXTREME, TweakTown caught more than just a glimpse of it.



The board's a looker. Gigabyte maintained its signature colour scheme. Over to the north, you can see the new LGA-1366 socket. Gigabyte sought to provide active cooling to the northbridge with a water-block. It uses four PCI-Express slots arranged in a manner similar to that on the MA-790FX-DQ6. The board supports Tri-Channel DDR3 memory. Gigabyte could carve-out a value model, the GA-X58-DS4 out of this board design, presumably by blanking or reducing the orange PCI-Express x16 (electrical x8) slots, and the chipset and VRM cooling. The board in the picture is a non-functional sample.
SOURCE

Better than usual. But come on, look at the rampage extreme and look at this, belongs in the nursery this one.

I really wish they wouldn't block that bottom x1 PCIe slot...

Why couldn't they stack the other 4 SATA ports? It is going to be an issue with high-end cards in 4xCrossfire.

maybe the included sata cables will be angled, nice looking board though

they are inverted from eachother so it's possible for all of them, but ugly for the 2 GPU-most ports
