This is a very good board and nearly made me regret buying my Asus, but then I realised that the UD9 is XL-ATX so wouldnt fit in my case, so it doesnt matter as I didnt want a new case.
Its a good board for people with full tower cases.
-
Looks like a great board, too bad its in XL-ATX size, it won't fit in a lot of cases anyway, but I'm glad Gigabyte decided to release a case that competes with EVGA and ASUS's 4 way SLI/Crossfire X58 boards.
-
Anyone dropping that much on a board would or will be more than happy to grab a massive full tower on rollers :)
I love my UD6 (wasted 24phase and all) only P55 board that seems fully functional, so I can only imagine what a pleasure their X58-UD9 will be to use.
-
Not gonna lie, this is a pretty sexy board.

Next step Giga must compete with EVGA Classified SR-2!

Gigabyte needs a UD11 board with UltraDurable 4, 3 oz copper and (quality) 18 phase. Just my little dream there...
Maybe an AMD UD9 board with 12 phase...
Why can't people design these things...they would rock.

lol at transformer esque mobo sink

Is this board really 649 dollar those.

Thats too much for a none dual processor motherboard. Considering I think the original ex58 xtreme was 399, I thinks it's pretty hard to justify another 649 dollars considering it looks very similar to the UD7 aside from the quadfire arrangement.

Wow with that money I could grab a SR-2...I hope that price is wrong...

who would they sell to? 100 pieces?
-
Either way, it's still just Gigabyte...
-
wow... i had not realized the waterblock was not touching the heatsink array directly!
AGAIN???? epic fail... thats really embarrassing... gigabyte made the same mistake before, i cant believe they did it AGAIN! :shakes:
the waterblock is only touching .01mm thin alu fins that then touch the chipset base plate? who the h3ll comes up with ret4rded designs like this???
might actually still work "OK" to cool the board with water, but thats a really stupid design there hahah...
i doubt it matters much, but... they should rather have left the waterblock off to begin with and cut the cost by 10-15$ instead of adding a waterblock that pretty much cools the AIR flowing over the board :lol:

Yes, agree with you Sascha...UD9 waterblock design should be better than this, or just forget the waterblock and save the money. Hybrid Silentpipe design is better and i think good cooling solution already.:shrug:

The Hybrid silent pipe still uses up one expansion slot bracket of your case, right?
