I have lot of hi-res photos here ...
here is one example ...

benchmarks of the G45 pls. :D
thanks for the contribution OBR :up:
High res... Sure, the resolution is high, but the focus is crap :p:
Numbers please.
Yeah, this is only first shot ... i will make better for reviews later ... BUT i am sure every of these board are DEAD! On this planet does not exists fully working Gigabyte P45 board (except Giga factory) ... but one with working PCIe is on the way to me (Extreme One) ... results later.
no DQ6? ;)
gotta save something for later hey hehhe
Any chance of closeups of the EP45-DS5?, so we can see the layout/chips better?

Sooo many sata ports I will never use, but I'm likin the ds5. Perhaps there is a dq6? =P
I'm confused by that DS5, 6 SATA ports (yellow) controlled by the Intel ICH10R, ok. Then we have 2 Silicon Image controllers, SiI5723...each chip controls 2 Purple ports....thus 10 in total.
So how the hell are they supporting IDE and the PCI bus?, the labeled "Gigabyte SATA II" chip is actually a rebranded Jmicron controller...but what chip is it?, JMB363 or JMB368?....if it's 368 then that acts as a PCI-E to IDE controller, which will give it IDE support.
So, how the hell are they getting PCI bus support?, i see no chips that function as this, unless this Jmicron chip is new and is acting as an IDE and PCI bus controller.
OBR....give us some insight.
Something else i noticed, the solid capacitors no longer have the black plastic shrouder around them, they like support the capacitor on the PCB.
GA-G45M-DS2H looks sweet!
xcept for those s-ata ports!
ny specs on it? pci express 2.0 x16?
Why can't they put the Floppy connector at a 90 degree angle????????
Hold on...do i see bios flash parts located close to the Silicon Image chips?, does that mean then that we/consumers can flash the bios/firmware on these chips as needed?
today tedailed pictures ... wait
looking foward to it OBR :)Quote:

Nice ones too, thanks OBR :D
finnaly more sata ports, i hope with nehalem 8 ports are standard. :up:Quote:

There are definately bios flash chips for the Silicon Image controllers....so we should be able to flash the firmware as and when new revisions become available.
The Power/Reset/Clr CMOS buttons are in a bad location, they should located higher up the PCB...next to the front panel header connectors.
Any new info or pics?
i am testing now AMD nForce 780a platform, result of first working P45 later this week ...
