My first thought is "When can I have one?"

You guys going to be getting a review sample of this board?

i've never like the look of gigabyte boards, but i really like the look of this one and 10 sata, nice to see more than 6 as 6 isnt enough for me, i keep having swap out hdd's for bigger ones which is too expensive, rather than just adding one.

love the monster northbridge cooling but is that thing on the left of it an on board/pic-e sound card with shielding or what?

peace

WOW THAT IS NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome. Never imagined gigabyte will do this. I like this now more than ASUS. amazing stuff...

Xtrafresh · 27th Oct 2008, 15:27

wtf, floppy and IDE on the extreme board? Personally if i ever got my hands on one of these boards i'd take them off.

Otherwise, gigabye is getting there styling-wise. I'd love to see a white PCB once though!

is it 16x for all the pci-e slots on x58 boards?

Almightyrastus · 27th Oct 2008, 16:21

Hmm that actually looks quite nice. A very very welcome change from the 'kids tv' colour scheme we are used to

No, two x16, one x8 - there are 36 lanes from X58. This is why X58+NF200 is needed for "full" 3-way SLI

DougEdey · 27th Oct 2008, 16:26

Will you be giving that to me as a prize?

Bindibadgi · 27th Oct 2008, 16:56

No.

I need it for ~~my own personal use~~ bit-tech testing.

ComputerKing · 27th Oct 2008, 17:17

What an lucky boy you are

Can you give it to me for 50 buck ?

Jojii · 27th Oct 2008, 18:31

DougEdey · 27th Oct 2008, 18:33
