Gigabyte's new smexy board has no cylindrical caps

zhadlp · Feb 19, 2011

Seen this on a another forum, thought its sexy, kinda wish the slots weren't orange, its gonna be a bit difficult to get a good color scheme with it...

20mmrain · Feb 19, 2011

This board is freaking hot!!! I want one soo bad what socket??? 1155?

AhokZYashA · Feb 19, 2011

its 1366
the chipset is X58
look at the model name...

zhadlp · Feb 19, 2011

LGA1366
and it pushed an i7 990x to 7.1GHZ with it's “OC Touch” feature

mmmm ~~DFI~~ I mean Gigabyte. Definitely an OC board though with the lack of rear I/O components and all the purty buttons

If i had loot for a toy, I would ponder this.

Why do the heatsinks have PWR connections? Fans, TECs, what?
EDIT: just read they are for LED lighting.

zhadlp · Feb 19, 2011

by the look of the wires, they're probably for LEDs...

caught the image on facebook and Hi Cookie says they are in fact for LEDs.

zhadlp · Feb 19, 2011

kinda wishing they'd make an matx version then I'll cancel the maximus 3 gene order

it's just so nice to look at without those cylindrical caps....

hellrazor · Feb 19, 2011

I think I'm in love! Dude, i really need to get a job!

EDIT:
4 PCIex16 slots!?!? F*** yeah!!!
BTW, what's up with the things on the bottom right?

DanishDevil · Feb 19, 2011

What are the ATX4P sockets on the outside of the SATA ports?

Bottom right are buttons, or voltage measure points, depending on what you're asking about.

And W1zz needs to call up the TPU lawyers again...our logo is the power button.

mjkmike · Feb 19, 2011

What does ErP ready mean.

don't see a eatx12v?

zhadlp · Feb 19, 2011

And W1zz needs to call up the TPU lawyers again...our logo is the power button.

this is now a TPU-powered motherboard, hehehe...

don't see a eatx12v?

I see 2 near the I/O ports...

just hope the price aint high as go to moon
the color scheme looks nice too, at least we can have new color scheme than blue one

Raovac · Feb 19, 2011

Hmm, Colors remind me of Halloween.

But Trick or Treat it definately is

That board matches Everything Xigmatek....Put it in an Utgard with a 120x240 Rad with some UVT Yellow with white LEDS hell yeah

Flibolito · Feb 19, 2011

Does look and I'm sure perform really nice.

crazyeyesreaper · Feb 19, 2011

Laurijan · Feb 19, 2011

"Gigabyte's new smexy board has no cylindrical caps"

i beleive you mean electrolytic - would you like a thread title update?

_JP_ · Feb 19, 2011

Orange is the word!!

This board + Xigamtek Achilles S1284W + Crucial Ballistix RAM Kit + 2x Zotac GTX560Ti or GTX460 AMP! or GTX480 w/zalman personalized cooler = Very good looking setup.
Too bad Zotac can't come up with a GTX570/580 with a cool looking dual-slot cooler, so that one could make 4-way SLI. This graphics solution doesn't OWN or PWN, I know, but it's the best I could come up with. Better ideas are welcome.

i dont know about all the types of caps to make the same claim, its possible this is just a design and they havent put them on yet.

Yeah very possible. Strange though.. Like showing a car-motor without any cylinder-block

I'm waiting for everything in a PC to have super flat componants.

That way heatsink design is much easier so better heatsinks, yay!

I like the look of this board a lot
