I couldn't care if it was friggin' rainbow stripped if it can Do some killer Crankin'

It's almost the same colour scheme they're using for years... And by the end, it will suck, as always Gigabyte do with the DS4 and DQ6 and so, just good at the beginning, then the bugs screwed up like popcorns. :p: lol

in theory, I dont care either, but I just cant associate rainbows with performance. Sorry, I know my arguement and "point" is crap, but I wouldnt buy a high-powered car if it only came in rainbow colours

is that REAL copper

wasn't there a thread not 6 months ago on how to "paint" a mobo a different color?

why o why does Gigabyte always have the ugliest boards on the planet.

Roller coaster heat pipes :)

dam that's feature packed! 4x lans.. better have a teaming feature!

who said RAID 0+1 lan ? LOL

How's the I/O-panel gonna look with that block of copper sitting there?? :rolleyes:
Otherwise it might be a nice board, time will tell...

Is this a Lego playset..:D

look at all that copper

damn Gigabyte does pick the ugliest colors. It seems like their boards are inspired by a six years old and a pack of crayons.

Why would someone need four gigabit ethernets.
Thanks

Quad-Triple phase power, Quad BIOS and Quad Gigabit LAN, Silent-Pipe2 and Crazy Cool2 technology

Hahaha I can't stop laughing :lol:

Most ridiculus board ever :D

Most useless thing ever: 4 Ethernet ports. WOW I CAN USE TEAMING TO COMBINE THOSE INTO ONE MASSIVE 4GB CONNECTION; TOO BAD THAT'S ONLY GOOD FOR LANS.

No back panel USB ports? There better be a PCI slot thingy because some of us still use worldly devices like printers and keyboards...

Aren't they the 4 Esata ports? Maybe they are USB, it's a bit hard to tell.

it looks like:
4 x RJ-45
4 x USB
2x PS/2
+ Serial

I guess they keep using those colors to stand out :confused:

Quad-Triple phase power isn't new stuff, it's already a feature on the 965 DQ6, did the DQ6 clocks better? Of course not.....

look here (965 DQ6 specs):
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...me=GA-965P-DQ6

I didn't say it was new and im well aware of the 965 dq6, merely i was pointing out how many features this board had.

Why does Gigabyte feel the need to brand EVERYTHING with their RIDICULOUSLY STUPID AND GIMMICKY quad naming? Oh, wow, 'quad' RAM slots. EVERY MOTHERBOARD SINCE 2002 HAS THOSE, JACKASSES. And the quad cooling is just a crock. The 'Crazy Cool' POS on the back of the mobo just hinders backplates for larger heatsinks. Damn, Gigabyte! They have a lot of potential, but they execute their products like a dyslexic kid trying to read "1984".

lollerskates...

"this wont overclock as well as the reference design... so here... have 4 of everything!!!"

quad bios? :zombie:

hold up, this mobo will last forever and ever and ever and ever..

now i want reason to get a new mobo well this mobo just blows that reason to smithereens.. :(
