Bit-Tech published pictures of Gigabyte's final X58 motherboards
Gigabyte will launch three X58 motherboards in a few weeks -- the Extreme, the UD5P and the UD5. All will feature Ultra Durable 3 with Gigabyte's new 2oz copper layer in the PCB, Dynamic Energy Saver advanced, 50-squillion hour Jap caps and Dolby Home Theatre audio with the premium Realtek AL889a sound codec.Gigabyte shows bit-tech its final X58 boards
Style wise, Gigabyte has heard our (and others) concerns and updated its design massively, with a largely positive effect. While adamant that it doesn't want to follow down the "black PCB = enthusiast" route, we think its blue-white-silver approach looks really something fresh. While I personally would have loved Gigabyte to have gone //that much further and make the USB pin-outs blue and orange slots silver/grey, overall we feel the change is certainly a step forward. Drop in some ambient blue and white lighting in a case and this could look pretty pimped out.
