Goood morning hardware fans!!! The sun is shining in the sky, the birds are singing, and as the end of summer comes upon us, so does the launch of Intel?s Haswell-E behemoth. And you know what that means, right? A whole new army of motherboards for the eager tech aficionado, tens of models to choose from, dozens of new features and colors, hundreds of marketing claims and overall a whole bunch of questions regarding the new X99 platform, DDR4 and Core i7 5960X.

Well, today I will not answer these questions. No sir, you will still have to wait a few days more until you can see Haswell-E and DDR4 at work. However, until then I can still show you two new motherboards from GIGABYTE, namely GIGABYTE X99-SOC Force and GIGABYTE X99-UD7 WiFi. Interested? I bet you are?

So far the SOC Force board is the best looking one but I wish they added more features, such as dual LAN and another USB 3.0 header would have been nice, but I guess this board isn't meant to be installed in a case for consumer use. Still waiting for pictures on their other X99 boards, I'm interested in the UD5.
