i would like black and blue but ah well, i like the blue mobo colour...reminds me of gigabyte

great, now you can space your sli/crossfire vid cards further apart. Thats one thing i hate about my current mobo.

There we go, that is a little closer to the truth.

You listening Yuleh??

So why do people still buy those noctua fans? Probably because they are good and not because they are pretty colours.

I think this board is pretty cool. I'd never get one as I need to have at least 1 PCI slot for my wireless card.

Yes but Noctua has always been great gear, Gigashat has only recently (after their P35 boards) been worth buying. Anyway this isn't a bashing thread.

Also the pic DM posted of the board marked with a "9" was black and white.

This suggests that GB are possibly considering changing the colours.

*fingers crossed*

Oy Yuleh, and this is a promise, if GB change their colours, I will personally go out and buuy one.

Just a greyscaled image as regas suggested...no doubt it will continue the general gigabyte theme.

Looks good.

I'll consider one once they are released.

tarek001 · 18th April 2010, 5:49 PM

had too many boards die on mr from gigabyte... and i never liked their color scheme...
this baby blue is by far the worst... yuk. should of stuck to the darker blue, at least that was managable.

case windows ftl if u have this board.

I love the amount of pedantic forum users on OCAU. This board is one of the most efficient X58's out - better than the Classified. The board does not require the brute force that the classified is known to have to obtain high CPU clocks - it makes up for that in its efficiency.

It isn't a car that you drive around and everyone sees. It isn't a piece of art work that you hang on the wall for people to look at. It's a f**king motherboard that will mostly be covered by your video card, sound card and whatever other shit you chose to use.

You could paint it pink and I would still buy it.

But hey, each to their own.

Going to be good seeing this up against the RIIIE.

If I paint it pink I doubt you'd want the MB unless your nickname is Princess and you drive a Pink Hyundai Excel.

Personally i'd like a car that looks good but is also high performance. Im happy to sacrifice a bit of performance so that my 'car' is asthetically pleasing to me.

If i was an extreme overclocker id own a drag car... looks like shit but fuck do they fly.

Like I said, it's a motherboard for christ sake.

Do you show everyone that comes over your board? Let me guess, no, it hides inside the case for no one to see.

zeropluszero · 18th April 2010, 9:02 PM

my other car is a yellow Lamborghini.

lol, as if, i dont even drive.

Thats where your wrong...you can actually see into my case.... and you can see the case/internals as soon as you walk into my room...

If it was closed off to the world then no i wouldnt give a fuck (obviously).

rbdirty · 18th April 2010, 9:16 PM

I've made my point.

Feel free to make more pathetic excuses not to buy such a good board.
