CEBIT 2007: Mechanical keyboard from Gigabyte


If you are a user that has anger management problems, you may have noticed that the most of the membrane based keyboards on the market won't last long as you lay wreck and havoc on them.


The metal encased keyboard made by Gigabyte is one of the rare completely mechanical ones. There are no multimedia keys, or anything else, but if you need a cheap and strong keyboard, it might be your next one.



When the guys from the booth weren't looking, we stomped on the keyboard, and no keys fell out. Sorry, I have fetish on crash tests. So yes, it is sturdy, and as you see – it still works!


On the picture below, you can see the mechanical parts beneath each button.

Gigabyte DDR3 motherboards

CEBIT 2007: DDR3 has moved from future tech to reality


Key words that can be seen from any corner of Gigabyte's booth are All-Solid capacitors, Low RDS MOSFET, and Ferrite Choke Coil. Those technology improvements are just beginning of a new era of more power efficient motherboards (less generated heat), with no sacrifice in performance for the enthusiasts. Bearlake chipset could be used to its full potential on these boards.



The GA-P35T-DQ6 supports Intel Core 2 Quad, and upcoming 45 nanometre processors wit dual-channel DDR3 memory. At the time being, the board is advertised as DDR3 1066. The cooling has been redesigned, as you can see on the picture, a massive system that consists of heat pipes and full copper coolers, covers the chipset, and motherboard voltage regulators. Also, the integrated audio is the newest Realtek 8.1 HD. Of course, these boards are Cross fire ready, have Quad BIOS feature, ROHS compliant, and look really good.



Very similar to this board is the GA-P35T-DS4 board. It lacks the Quad BIOS, Quad eSATA support, but everything else is there.




And for the less enthusiastic users, Gigabyte is offering GA-P35T-DS3P motherboard. The gigantic copper cooling system has been replaced with smaller aluminum passive solutions. Also the voltage regulators on the board are not being cooled. Again, you will not get eSATA, or all the other Quad features from the first board.

CEBIT 2007: DDR3 memory sticks From Corsair and Patriot


In this little pictorial you will find most of the DDR3 modules that could be seen on CeBIT. Corsair has shown us their CAS6 DDR3 modules. They are operating at 1066MHz.




The second modules are from Patriot. These sticks have more aggressive timings than Corsair, 5-5-5, at the speed of 1066 MHz as well. There was no news about the heat spreaders.



The last picture is from Gigabyte booth, but no info about the RAM settings.
