and yet people still complain about gigabyte!

hahah, wtf is that?
and to clarify. does this board or does it not have nf200's? i kinda need sli in my i7 build. i dont want to buy new gfx.
Looks kinda funky, a bit more contrast and wopedido, Speed racer!
I remember I liked the Sapphire boards, red and white.
Anyways like Hornet says, f itThere are way more important things.

i already said here that they wont have them nvidia chips for SLI
but considering the size of that heatsink maybe there will be changes in future![]()
Perhaps under that SB heatsink there's a Marvel PATA + SATA Controller![]()

Why so much cooling for the NB??
the IMC is in the cpu right? whats left to cool?
great looking board.. it's nice to know that Gigabyte is listening to the feedback by us.. (well they always listen, but this is the first time that involving their color schemes :P )
btw Guys, I don't expect Gigabyte to use color like u guys suggested here, coz it sounds more like Asus board.. As a big manufacturer, I believe Gigabyte wants their own identity..not like some small manufacturer out there who likes to copy cat the big name motherboard.

It does tend to get quite hot. The NB for my 590 SLI chipset-albeit an older generation, blah blah blah-was sizzling. As the computational power increases, the flow of current through the silicon increases, and you have more heat. If you run SLI/Xfire, Raid, overclock, anything like that you will see the heat from the NB and SB jump. Introducing SSD's is only going to increase this as they will increase the bandwidth and current through the SB. Sure, shrinking the parts and lowering voltages will help, but not THAT much, and the complexity of the chipset is just too high for it to be relatively cool. Active cooling is going to be a must pretty soon...
I don't really care about the colors, but I find it weird that Gigabyte doesn't. It's a fact that there's people out there that do care so I can imagine their persistent use of pastel colors scheme does repel a bunch of potential customers.

PS.
And drop those nasty locking mechanism on the PCIe x16 slots. When I had a Gigabyte i965P board I cut the locks off the slots with pliers...
Seconded.
I say no to crazy heatpipe monstrosities.

^Hehe...
Anyways, Sapphire tried white solder mask on their high-end S939 boards and iirc, they had problems with keeping the color from getting ruined during assembly/soldering.

we need some secksi dfi LP colors here
uv coated is very nice
