"No more pink DRAM slots!Perhaps the most interesting part of this area is the chipset cooling. A long heatpipe snakes across the board, connecting the power regulation with a heatsink on the X58 northbridge, and continuing to the NT200 and southbridge chips.As a GIGABYTE rep proudly proclaimed about this latest board, the DRAM slots are no longer pink. This was a major point of contention for many, as they seemed to think that the color didn't match their clothes (either that, or they just didn't like it). Well, the colour scheme is now a very impressive blue, white, grey and orange, and looks extremely attractive. Looks, as we'; find in a minute, are not even half the story.All the cooling on the board allowed us to get to a stable QPI of 165, and the BIOS was very precise and easy to use."

"Gigabyte has really done a good job: excellent components and very competitive price for a motherboard really easy to overclock. Surely, it is the motherboard higher end than has ever been produced by Gigabyte. The combination of PCB technology 2oz copper, with the DES, the Japanese capacitors guaranteed for more than 50 thousand hours of life, the phases of digital dynamic feeds (PWM) and the Hybrid Silen-tPipe2 are truly impressive!"

This reference being extremly stable didn't even freeze when applied bad OC paramaters, automatically reseting datas to boot each time without even using CMOS. This GIGABYTE Extreme solution,is definitly a product to reccomand for gamers, overclockers and any IT Enthousiast"
