GIGABYTE X79-UD7 Review W/ 3960X

[burningrave101]

They gotta put this one on retail channel in a hurry...Newegg already jacked up RIVE price by $20

I think your looking at the Rampage IV Extreme/BF3. The extra $20 gets you Battlefield 3.

you just need to find a case with a space for a spare slot if you know what i mean

The real problem is to find a case with room between the PSU and the mobo. Slots don't really concern me since that should be easily Dremel-ized

[dinos22]

if you're struggling to find cases you may have to look up UD9's chassis support list then i guess

[Leeghoofd]

I put together an OC guide with an UD7 board. It's pretty straight forward like SB, you dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure it all out quick but still hope it helps

Ideal for PJ then , just ups volts !!! Looking forward to test a decent X79 board...

The HAF-X is likely the easiest to come by that will take an XL-ATX board and let you use all the expansion capabilities.

[easegantini]

Now I only need to find a case big enough to house this XL-ATX board

It might be a serious problem. I would buy this mobo straight away but I can't find a proper case I can buy here.

Buy the Silverstone TJ11... fits EVGA SR-2 with no problems.

[sin0822]

hey someone wanted 5ghz? http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2115388

Um i can do on a lot less voltage, but CPUz validator doesn't want to validate 5000 while i just did 5005 lol.

[nacho_arroyo]

Really nice board, hope this board be excellent like x58a-oc, and hope to can test it!

Great work sin0822

I under stand this thread is over 6 months old but what ever happen to this board in the US? It was on newegg for a month then deactivated never been back since? I want to finish one of my case mods and this GIGABYTE GA-X79-UD7 would look perfect in my build and I did want to go to the newer 2011 socket as well. Does anyone know what happen to this board? And where I could pick up one in the US without paying $600 for it. Thanks

Good match don't you think... lol

[Leeghoofd]

UD7 is EOL mate, you have to hunt one down somewhere somehow... Still got one here...

[sin0822]

wow that would be such a cool match. Do the ebay boards really sell for $600? That is stupid.

Anyways yea it is EOL(end of line) i think you might have better lucky finding a X58A-OC, it is EOL, but I think more people had them. Who knows if you keep waiting maybe another board will come maybe it wont, if you change your color scheme to black and green lol there are more boards. But that orange and black is really cool, i know i have seen some really nice orange and black builds centered around this and the X58A-OC.
