Gigabyte GA-EX58A-UDXX Release date?

[stasio]

Maybe THIS:

EXTREME EDTION IS COOMING ?????????????????????????????????????

[jalyst]

Pfft is that it, stoopid windows features?
I'm not even using the board to run windows...
Guess we'll al know soon enough! :-)

Hicookie testing EX58A-UD4P

i believe this,
tested my 975 air with extreme 120 ultra, and room temp around 26c
my 975 chip can stable 4.65GHz 3D and 4.9GHz 1m,
but if compare to voltage, 975 needs more, but ultra extreme 120 can handle
this well

975 air cooling, room 26c, ultra extreme 120

Hmm, wonder if that'll get him into trouble?
Would have to be under a NDA if that isn't a photo-shop job.

Tomorrow cant come soon enough, someone post the official news in this thread please!

[Sh1tyMcGee]

the problem with the last boards was the cpu's ran hotter than other boards, about 3-5c higher, both idle and load.

[DavyBoy]

Any idea when those Gulftown chips will be getting released stasio?

[almonime]

excuse me folks, a little question i have for ya.

in the pic uploaded by hicookie, in cpuz, motherboard tag, it is seen that the board

uses the OLD revision of the X58 chipset. that is strange, no ? second gen board uses old chipset revision ?

the new X58 revision ( SLGMX ) should be 13, not 12.

Ah, good eye.

I'm thinking it's a CPU-Z bug since hicookie is using version 1.51

care to enlighten this un-enlightened one?

[Chickenfeed]

Here's to hoping the revised boards aren't night and day better. I've had to do a semi forced upgrade and opted for the original UD5 but from what I've seen so far it shouldn't disappoint. I do remember reading about these in June/July though and I drooled over them a bit. I don't plan on any overly aggressive clocking so hopefully the UD5 does me justice. 24 phase does sound pretty bad ass however.... "You want moar powa?! Get moar powa now!!"

[radaja]

im going to be getting a UD5,should i wait for this to be released?

[DavyBoy]

@radaja, if I were you I would wait for these mobos to become available, but if your money is burning a hole in your pocket, and you want to upgrade now, then there really is nothing wrong with the current UD5's, they are really good boards, the only reason I wanted to get one of these is for the simple fact that they shouldn't have the 222MHz Bclk wall that the current ones do, you have to hardmod the current boards to get past 222 Bclk, and I am hopeless with a soldering iron, so there is no way that I would even think about attempting the PCIe hardmod myself!

If you don't plan on pushing for more than 222 Bclk then the current UD5's are awesome boards, I have got 2 of them here, and I love them!

[jalyst]

tomorrow

When you said tomorrow is the release date for P55 (& by-proxy the ex58a launch)
What actual date in which time zone did you mean?

Surely that should have come round by now?
Admittedly I'm 16hr+ ahead of US east coast (need to check)

I can see plenty of news about the p55 launch so it looks as though it's happened but nothing about ex58a.

Cheers

It was 7.day and timezone for Finland is 2hr+

[jalyst]

It was 7.day and timezone for Finland is 2hr+

Sorry not getting you....
Have you reached "tomorrow" in Finland or do you still have a few hours?

[Migi06]

aah..

Yes I have reached "tomorrow" Finland time is now 8.9.2009 and clock time 22.55

[_SBradley_]

Is someone pulling our leg? I'm not really surprised that the EX58A boards weren't announced on the same day as the P55 boards (too much together!), but why would Gigabyte have informed OcUK that the range had been cancelled if they're really still under production? I'm hoping I'm wrong -- I want one of these boards as much as the rest of you! -- but I have the feeling we are all going to be disappointed.

[jalyst]

aah..

And you are nine hours ahead of California so that would make it: 8.9.2009 13:55 there.
If anything was going to be announced officially on the 9th, then every main region is well into that date, but we've heard nothing, only p55 news :-(

I'm not saying he is, but it would be pretty low if Lsdmeasap was taking us all for a ride... Maybe he was taken for a ride...

It was only a Gigabyte rep that told guys at OcUK about the boards being scrapped.. I really don't know what to believe tbh, so I am not going to get my hopes up..

If the new boards arrive, great, if they don't I won't be that bothered, as I already have a UD5..

I just want a board that doesn't have a 222 Bclk wall like this one..

I am thinking about going for a Classified if these EX58A boards don't arrive soon anyway..

I am getting bored of OcUK boards today, all this P55 hype is doing my head in!

Hopefully it will calm down over the next couple of days.

hey BLunTSmoKeR,thanks for the response.yea i think ill just get the UD5,as ive heard nothing but great things about it.and i think i can pull off the hard mod if its needed.

[Lsdmeasap]

I would never take you guys for a ride!!

And my contact would not lie to me AT ALL, nor would he have been taken for a ride either. He works at Gigabyte Headquarters in Taiwan, and is the Technical Marketing Manager so he would for sure have correct and valid information.

Sorry he did not say exactly when things would happen concerning what he told me, but again it is not canceled. He told me around the same time, or the same time as P55 Launch but like I said that was in July and things have changed a bit since then so there may just be a delay

Maybe now the OP on this topic can answer you as to what he meant by ? One more we can't advertise yet ?

Could be related, not sure, but I would PM and see as I looked and do not see any listings for anything out of the ordinary at MicroCenter


I do believe OcUK may have been informed correctly or partially anyway, by the wording mentioned above by _SBradley_, but they had just misunderstood what Gigabyte really said to them about it all and so has the wrong idea about what was really meant by what they said.

I'm confused, what do you mean July?
The latest update you gave us from your 'friend' was on 01/09

This is prolly just a P55.. If they were going to release a revised x58 range surely it would be before or on the same time as P55 not after...

Hmm, I'm giving it one more week and then I'm moving on.
Not blaming you for anything, just find this whole smoke & mirrors thing silly.
