Ooooooh, Aquamarine style, looks pretty swish. Should have changed the orange for navy though and kept a uniform style.
That's very nice looking. Dark navy or something would look better than the orange, but then again it wouldn't be a Gigabyte board if it didn't have odd colours :p:
Board layout is quite nice, can't see anything that jumps out and hits me as OMGWrong.
Eller
lol bottom gets cramped... floppy and ide needs to go. :p:
That's certainly a step in the right direction but the bottom does look rather cramped like Hornet331 said.
just duno why have ppl consist leaving orange color..lolQuote:

Nice color... i want to add something (not about the color). It's more better if GIGABYTE use nut & bolt to tighten the heatsink rather than using plastic screw.
Wow very nice indeed.
Is it really gigabyte? or am i dreaming?... looks amazing and the layout is almost flawless. But get rid of the IDE ports already? everything is SATA these days.
It took Gigabyte how many years to get a lecture in color design? :rofl:
This board certainly have the "cold" feeling to it. While it's not the very best layout out of X58 boards I've seen I'd prolly pick this one if I'd have to choose one due to UD3 & it's 2oz copper layer alone. Oh and 10 angled sata ports is soooo unlike Gigabyte, nice.
I for one think that board looks flawless. :shocked: I would love to have it right now and play around with it. People are just really picky today it seems. It's not like you would be using those slots no? If you throw a video card or a sound card in there would the orange slot shine through it or what? BTW the spacing is perfect imo and I really like that 4xPCIE slot in that position. Good job hicookie! :clap:
this is making it really hard to choose an x58 board.
nice board but ditch the bottom and unnecessary ports
Indeed a lot of nice boards are poping out on the market , this aqua color is lovely still FDD conecntor in these days ? heck even I bought an USB FDD for flashing and stuff ... to many connectors crumped together ... not good
Hicookie, I have no idea how much you are allowed to say, but is all that cooling really necessary? I mean x58 "lost" some major parts that where moved to the cpu, so heat shoud not really be a issue, or am I completly wrong there and x58 runs hot for some reason?
Board looks good, hope it will perform, but ide and floppy should die allready.
Wow very very nice looking board, the orange I can live with, although navy or black would be better suited, not fussed, even the lime green is gone! :up:
lets hope the board is actually as good as it looks :)
Looks neat for sure! :D
So... When am I getting one?? :p:
oh i just noticed the WC block is gone?
Does this mean no absurd attachement NB-sink either? =]
Extreme = crazy attachment and wc blockQuote:

so with the 5 in the name its not the most highend version pictured, that is ofcourse assuming that gigabyte sticks with their naming scheme.
I'd hate to see how the guys at Gigabyte dress, do they not know how to color coordinate? Would you wear a blue shirt with orange pants? I hope not. Change the orange to a gray,blue or even white and I wouldn't be embarassed to be seen in public with that board ^_^
OMG Gigabyte are starting to listen to the groans that we emit everytime they release a Crayola Crayons colored mobo. :rofl:
Good riddance pink and green!
There's a few orange spots still left to purge, but this is a huge step in the right direction! :yepp:
Good bye Pink slots
you can also change Orange pcie slots by Dark grey slots :p
haha so they fired the gay dude who picked previous colors :P but still the best looking mobo so far is msi's eclipse
ooh that sounds like a really good idea! I'd like to see that :up:Quote:
