Really nice session,,,,
Good work guys

**Aerou** · 04-06-2010, 03:54 PM

this is the spirit!

**xxrabid93** · 04-06-2010, 04:06 PM

Sick work! We want board pics though.

**0cool** · 04-06-2010, 07:24 PM

Awesome resultats guys

Have you got an idea about lauching of this amazing motherboard ?

Thanks

Hi 0cool

I will put up more info soon on this board i promise but right now is still not the right time ok

and thanks for the comments

I am going to do some testing in the next day or two to check some minor functionality of the new EasyTune software with profiles integrated which will allow people to change speeds on the fly (real time) via this software. That should be pretty handy in many benchmarks i think

Very curious about this board, especially if its a new high end board from Gigabyte. Hope the NDA isn't too far off.

Impressive stuff guys, keep up the good work. Seems you guys had a great time.

**Leeghoofd** · 04-07-2010, 12:43 PM

amasing work lads, looking forward to this board... it might be very stiff competition to the REX III and Classie boards...

Hey dinos22, is there an NDA on that board? How come there are no pictures of the board ??

**RCG_Bex** · 04-09-2010, 03:46 AM

I remember seeing some early model pics...

I really hope it doesn't have quite so many molex connecters since it's first showing since Cebit...

God damn NDA - I WANT TO SEE IT NOWWWWWWWWW! >.<

But isn't that the board they changed to be the UD9?

Maybe I'm wrong...

Yes,but we still don't know retail layout and spec.

**Chrono Detector** · 04-09-2010, 04:48 AM

That prototype earlier board, I hope that is not the final retail version because it looks dull and ugly. Why change the heatsink into a boring generic looking one for compared to the ones on the UD5 and UD7?

**Leeghoofd** · 04-09-2010, 05:55 AM

Because it's not the final cooling design and secondly I really hope Gigabyte will ditch them silly heatpipes : one seperate cooler for NB, one for SB and one for the PWMs... no heatpipe links plz... Dinos and mr Handley can arrange that I'm sure

**dinos22** · 04-09-2010, 06:06 AM

nothing wrong with heatpipes

**Leeghoofd** · 04-09-2010, 06:16 AM

Why transfer heat from the IOH to the PWM or SB area ? Why not isolate it and address cooling on the spot... No heatpipes seemed to be the general concensus for enthousiast boards among die hard overclockers at a competitors meeting in Taipei (starts with an M and ends with an I) ... you don't have to listen to me ofcourse :p

**dinos22** · 04-09-2010, 08:12 AM

what are we back in X48 days again

**dinos22** · 04-09-2010, 04:47 PM

why always so high strung? Havent you learnt anything last year

(these are hypotheticals dont answer it

)

i do know what you are saying. I was pushing for that solution back when it was really needed when we were pushing 60% more voltage into MCH but now it's not necessary and the block has been provided for a long time to be used in the w.c. based system to remove heat where it is mainly generated. The way it's designed now makes sense to me and I wouldn't go telling MSI to change what they have done. I have been a good friend of MSI people and have tried to help them in the past where they really need help, bios, their hardware is fine i think

. Sure there will still be a small handful of people which will require aftermarket solutions and that's fair enough. Please don't bug me about stuff like this or try to make a show of my threads like you have last year.
