Gigabyte GA-EX58A-UDXX Release date?

[Mastakilla]

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

The new UD7 has the "333" features, Smart6, Some new buttons, a revised Hybride Heatpipe, socket changes, PCIE Mod is already done at the factory so no hard mod is needed, and the revised chipset.

More info can be found here

Other models all I can say is be patient.

Thanks for the info...

I just found this board for 258 euro, which is again a little bit acceptable almost (45 euro more expensive than the UD5 and cheaper than the UD5-Extreme??)

So I am considering the UD7 once again (although it has waaaaaay too many SATA ports)

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 is orange.

Thanks a lot for this very usefull information!

Do you know if stuff like the pci-e mod is also done on these revised UD5s?
