love it! Gigabyte X58 GA-X58AUD3R, MSI 5870 Lightning, 4x
Corsair force 60GB SSD, Corsair
GTX2 RAM kit, 2x ANS-ACARD,
ARECA 1280ML raid controller,
4x GIGABYTE I-RAMS, Corsair
1000W, Antec 1200OC and a
bunch of beautiful old school
CORSAIR DDR1 and DDR2 sticks,
the UD3R able to bring all those
components together and bench
the CPU at good clocks!”
Well done to Pro and, keep
pushing it.?
GIGABYTE Previews P67 motherboard
G
IGABYTE has shown off two
P67 LGA 1155 Motherboards
for INTEL’s upcoming Sandy Bridge
CPUs. Not much to be said on the
motherboards currently other
than that they look to introduce
a new colour scheme for the
company. Both motherboards are
mainly black/gun metal with gold
accents on some heatsinks for
the UD7 model and the traditional
GIGABYTE BLUE for the UD5
model. The boards look packed
with features, including what
looks to be 4 USB3.0 ports. We are
unsure at present if that means
there are two controllers on the
board or GIGAYTE has found a
vendor that has a 4-port controller.
Right now the colour scheme
seems to be polarizing the
various online communities,
but we suspect in due time it’ll
grow on us all. As far as we
are concerned the new scheme
is a bold move for GIGABYTE
and a welcome change for us
the end users. As usual, we
will keep you posted on further
developments.?
