Gigabyte revised their colour scheme a bit for the X58 boards (no more pink ram slots hahaha)

there may yet me some more changes ;) so keep harassing them about colour schemes as they are finally starting to listen woot :rofl::D

:up::up::up::up::up::up:
Im not a fan of the colour of the sata slots, but other than that, GREAT looking board
Almost looks like they have used the same cooling solution used on the passive cooled Gigabyte 4850.
THey should get rid of the orange PCI slots and go for an entirely blue/white/dark sliverrishchrome thing they got going on for the color scheme.
OH and they NEED to do away with the pushpins for their HS's!!! I can see those damned white plastic caps poking their heads up all over the place!
Woot much better with blue and white Ram slot :D:D:D
yup i reckon we are going to see that changes imo...donno will see i guessQuote:

still a lot of mixed colors, and babyblue... well... its better than pink! :D
the sb heatsink is a bit large... that would def be a problem to insulate...
White-blue-white-blue please.
That color scheme rocks, and probably will make anyone who got an Asus WS reconsider.
why would you insulate SB ROFLQuote:

the SB cooler looks cool. the NB cooler is just.. wth? - & what is that.. thing.. above the PCIEx4 slot :confused:
& so far all the ppl recommending colours - the colours they are suggesting are used by ASUS! :p: :D
hell yeah now looks sexier!!! now the pcb gogogo or atleast change the enthusiast line to black! tho I was wondering why the SB heatsink is big? since apparently doesnt have nf200's
it doesntQuote:

who the :banana::banana::banana::banana: chooses these colors :rofl:
we need a new ABIT

jeeeez you guys does anyone have any imagination
surely you can come up with some more exciting suggestions than just a 2 colour design
that's boring :p
i dare manufacturers to start customising PCBs to some killer designs....saaya was talking about stickers covering boards that would cost maybe $30....that's what a lot of end users want it seems.....i would personally like to have a board that looks like a huge pile of turd...that would be sweeeeeeeeet :D
imagine having some badass board look that can be done as easy as slapping a new PCB sticker heh
i dont actually care for colour on boards but i guess pink was a bit over the top...it would look slicker if there was some smarter colour coordination....colour quantity is not as important........but having some crazy ass PCB would look badass dont ya think
maybe Foxconn will give it a shot heh
Nice looking design, shame about the colours, but it is a step in the right direction 7/10
Well the X48T-DQ6 and EP45T-Extreme were a bit garish with their color schemes. This board is a bit less eye-burning in color contrasts. The look of the board doesn't matter to the guys that are putting it under LN2 but we aren't the ones that buy vast quantities of boards :D
Board looks great but who the :banana::banana::banana::banana: is their color designer? 5 year old kid? :rofl:
Seriously only some small further color modifications would make it a lot better looking:
1. Replace the yellow parts with blue
2. Replace the orange PCI-E slots with black
3. Replace the lightgreen IDE connector with black or blue
... But at least it's an improvement...
thats a nice minimalistic mobo :up:Quote:

I'm starting to fell in love with it!
that Abit mobo is booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring
but i can make it look better
lemme grab some

:D
F*** the colors, i want good performance, stability and overclockability.
Hell the board could even be turd brown and puke green, i could care less if its a solid board that can oc. :yepp:

and yet people still complain about gigabyte!
hehe, that one even looks as if it won't cost $400Quote:

and to clarify. does this board or does it not have nf200's? i kinda need sli in my i7 build. i dont want to buy new gfx.
Wait for the reviews and product specifications to come out before you get your panties in a wad ;) It's still a month before you can even buy the boards and you have no clue what the price or performance will be yet.Quote:

I remember I liked the Sapphire boards, red and white.
Anyways like Hornet says, f it ;) There are way more important things.
Any engineering tweaks on the revised board or is it just about the colours?
so far the only board that has nf200 is asus work station which has 6 pcie running @ x16 now thats a folding monster board :D! this board will run SLi w/o the chip.Quote:

but considering the size of that heatsink maybe there will be changes in future :shrug:
Perhaps under that SB heatsink there's a Marvel PATA + SATA Controller ;)
Why so much cooling for the NB??
the IMC is in the cpu right? whats left to cool?
I believe that the additional SATA controllers are now under there, which is good since those were some hot little buggers.Quote:

btw Guys, I don't expect Gigabyte to use color like u guys suggested here, coz it sounds more like Asus board.. As a big manufacturer, I believe Gigabyte wants their own identity.. :D not like some small manufacturer out there who likes to copy cat the big name motherboard. ;)
It does tend to get quite hot. The NB for my 590 SLI chipset-albeit an older generation, blah blah blah-was sizzling. As the computational power increases, the flow of current through the silicon increases, and you have more heat. If you run SLI/Xfire, Raid, overclock, anything like that you will see the heat from the NB and SB jump. Introducing SSD's is only going to increase this as they will increase the bandwidth and current through the SB. Sure, shrinking the parts and lowering voltages will help, but not THAT much, and the complexity of the chipset is just too high for it to be relatively cool. Active cooling is going to be a must pretty soon...
TDP is supposed to drop and i dont see us feeding monster volts in it any more due to memory controller moving to CPUQuote:

I don't really care about the colors, but I find it weird that Gigabyte doesn't. It's a fact that there's people out there that do care so I can imagine their persistent use of pastel colors scheme does repel a bunch of potential customers.
:shrug:
PS.
And drop those nasty locking mechanism on the PCIe x16 slots. When I had a Gigabyte i965P board I cut the locks off the slots with pliers...
Seconded.Quote:

White + Blue would be amazing ... actually a MOBO PCB snow white ... woot woot , dunno why but it turns me on ! X58 Snowwhite edition, 7 Dwarfs optional. Free Apple ticket Inside, poison not included
^Hehe...
Anyways, Sapphire tried white solder mask on their high-end S939 boards and iirc, they had problems with keeping the color from getting ruined during assembly/soldering.
so trueQuote:
