Gigabyte GA-EX58A-UDXX Release date?

[DavyBoy]

I have confirmed the new UD7 does indeed have the revised chipset (X58 B3 Stepping).

The current UD5's also have this revised chipset to, the boards are still rev.1, but the way you can tell the difference from the old ones and the new ones is the last PCIE slot on the newer boards is the same blue color as the first 2 PCIE slots, whereas on the older UD5's the last PCIE slot os orange.

I'm tempted to order one but I can't find any info about the watercooling fittings ?
Do they use e.g. 1/4" standard ones now or still some uncommon ones ?
(I am using 8/10 tubing with mostly 1/4" fittings as you can guess)

MIPS make a really nice replacement waterblock for these boards that allow you to use normal fittings.



Well, it was made for the old Extreme, but they look as though they have the same cooling solutions, so I would image that this block would fit the UD7.
