Na i would have to say Gigabyte makes the ugliest boards....those color combos are just terrible.

Who'd a thought that would get such a reaction.
Hey... I'm not all about what a motherboard looks like and as long as it functions well that's all good. It still doesn't change the fact that it is fugly. This board is freakin gorgeous compared to the P5K.
It's almost as if the manufacturer will go out of it's way to find the ugliest color combo available sometimes.
I think this board would actually look pretty sweet if ALL the slots were green. I agree the heatpipe fins should defintely NOT be cooled by exhaust from the PSU. But as said already there are alternate ways to mount it.

Green? its so Ugly xD . I'll wait that the board performs like the hell
too bad it's digital PWM. I'd rather have a mobo with an analogue that works right then something new that doesn't. the AW9D's 4 phase comes to mind here... 4 phase and more stable power then even many 8 phase designs.
i think its beutifull .too bad i bought the abit
p35 pro today.
Heres some bigger pics for those who asked![]()

lots and lots of cores and lots and lots of tuners,HTPC's boards,cases,HDD's,vga's,DDR1&2&3 etc etc all powered by Corsair PSU's
ya...i'm not feelin all that heatpipe stuff now. no upgrade for me.

hard to go wrong with a p35 chipset...there are already plenty to choose from and i bet they are cheaper than dfi
but i look forward to seeing results from the new greeny :P

mounting/securing of that extra heatpipe seems like a ..... joke?

I don't know I think the Green and yellow will look sweet under UV if you ask me. Besides its a D.F.I P35 Motherboard which I think will rock the house considering what Oskar has posted allready and I want one!![]()

I wasn't really trying to be rude. Sorry if I came off as such. If I had to say if a board was cool looking or not I'd make it all black. Nice and simple. All these multi colored boards are pointless to me. I remember when all this started with Abit (i think) and their fatality series. The days of green pcb and white and black slots are over I guess...BTW the p5k isn't all that bad... I personally think the heatpipe craze makes all boards with them look stupid. What ever happened to active cooling?

DFI makes some beautiful mobos: DFI 680i LT the best looking mobo right now![]()
will this board be 8x8x4 or 16x16?
I was hoping to get CF (hd2900xt x2) + physics at some point this year and want to get the best out of it. Should I wait for 38?

That heatpipe su**s... The ugliest board i have ever seen,too bad![]()
If not, just put a fan over that spot, should work just as fine.... problem solved.

If all people would share opinions in an objective manner, the world would be a friendlier place
actually i like the new innovative heatpipe contraption.. looks strange yes, but who knows it might work like a charm. i just hope that this new dfi board wont be too expensive..
