Gigabyte GA-EX58A-UDXX Release date?

[jalyst]

Yeah freakin hell....
Mobo's based on a brand new chipset are out yet mobo's based the X58 B3 aren't because of a Marvell SATA3 controller issue.
Gah come on, please hurry it up Asus/Gigabyte!! Sorry, a little excitable atm... ;-P

[Lsdmeasap]

I do believe that the marvell issue has been resolved, think I read a comment by marvel about that somewhere but can't find it now

[jalyst]

well hopefully out "any day" now!

[trakslacker]

I do wish Hicookie or someone in the know would chime in with at least a ballpark figure. Them being released in a week or two is very different from them being released 1 month+ from now. What worries me is that we've seen plenty of benches and review samples of GB P55 boards around here, but I've yet to see ANYTHING on the refreshed X58 lineup. Not even a shot of the boards since Computex in June. I get the feeling the refreshed X58 lineup is still a ways off...

[jalyst]

nooo, plz don't dash my hopes like that! ;-)

[prznar1]

i'm barely resisting myself from not buying anything other then new ud5.

this is nonsens why they are holding it for so long. i've readed few things and that jm chip is ready to go for about a month. second - p55 boards are out, just like was written on the first page. and we didn't got any info about time price whatever... if someone from GBT will jump here and say that we have to wait, just wait, nobody knows for how long but you people just way. i'm getting one of the asus models...

[jalyst]

i'm getting one of the asus models...

Are there revised Asus models like the Gigabyte ones with SATA3 etc?
If they did a big revamp like Gbyte & there's are out, then I'm not waiting around!
Time to check Asus site methinks....

it's p6x58 premium. two SATA 6Gb/s and two usb 3.0 ports. but same as a gigabyte no words on it... crap.

[fatguy1992]

I wonder whether they'll overclock better? Thats more important to me then if it was some new feature that I won't be using.

[jalyst]

The power delivery on the board, but it remains to be seen if it's a gimmick or not.

There are pics of the x58A UD5 on Hardware Cancucks with a 24 phase CPU supply. Link 3rd board down is ud5 (new revision)

[prznar1]

old photos... more of... they are wrong, there will be no pwm phase in ud5, it will be a vrm design, the most basic technology. but sometimes simple is better and more is better

i wonder why there will be no TPM in UD5 and extreme?

[jalyst]

Hmm, is that significant?
I must admit I'm yet to read up on the main differences between the two techs.

Yeah that's pretty lame...

[prznar1]

well story of sata III is probably finished (for now )... GBT will probably put on hold new ex58A family...

i'm going to buy asus p6t ws pro...

[jalyst]

... GBT will probably put on hold new ex58A family...

What makes you think that?
I've heard it'll be available at the beginning of September.

GBT itself. i was writing with them for about few moments and they say that probably (but nothing confirmed officialy) ex58a boards will be deleayed, for how long? i du no. bc there was no release data or something... wierd...

pwm vs vrm. i'm not an expert also i don't know technical language. but i can tell you that 8 phases of vrm can not be compared to pwm 8 phases. the equil? i do no but probably 8 vrm to 6 pwm. read on wiki or something. sory for english i will reedit my post soon.

As long as intel don't implements USB 3.0 or sata 3.0 i'll keep my fingers off it, espeical on those dodgy 3rd party controllers... guess asus had to learn it the hard way.

ESL = English 2nd language? LOL

So you're saying you got no clear answer on whether something will be coming?
So something could still be coming, but just delayed to till Sept?

I'll email the myself....

Okay sounds as though PWM is just little more efficient, big deal, thanks.

[Fitseries3]

where are they at? come on i want one now!

[jalyst]

Lsdmeasap; did you find out from your friend in Taiwan yet or is it still too early?

I plan to ask tomorrow, don't want to busy him to bad today since he is just getting back into the office. But I may ask tonight anyway and just not expect a reply until tomorrow, been wondering myself for a while now since he has been out of the office.

I will let you know his reply

[jalyst]

okay no rush, just checking, thanks.

[DavyBoy]

I was informed by staff at OcUK that these boards have been ditched altogether, this came from a Gigabyte rep aledgedly..

Was really looking forward to these boards as well...

[billdavis]

no one mentions gigabyte's rma it one of the worst...just adding the fact
