That is a waste in phase power. To me it means that the engineers didn't know what they were doing or that marketing had their way. DFI has been getting along just fine with just a Few VRMs because their power delivery is engineered better.

HOLY GOD OF OVERCLOCKING GIGABYTE!

Please make AM3 & Core i7 boards with this quality. Please. LET THE PERFORMANCE RAIN FROM THE HEAVENS!

On a side note: I need to now change my pants. As I have officially soiled them after seeing this board.

That's what I'm thinking here... this is adoption bait.

This may end up being a bad thing for intel because if the i5 boards are better than any i7 board, that is even less reason to waste money on a $1k+ EE i7 chip.
