    Yes, note it's a male plug. It's meant to be connected to the PSU.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    Nice looking board.

    I dont understand what all the hubbub is about with the second NIC. They are normally ty realtek/marvell nics anyways. If you're going to be doing any work needing teamed/bonded/trunked what have you NICs you should be using a quality Intel add-on card, or to a lesser extent Broadcom.

    And i should got just one with an amazing ( and expensive ) motherboard with the most amazing architecture incoming ... ?

    ( & the 2 last motherboards was high ends ... )

    I WANT ; 4 USB 3.0, 2 LAN TEAMEABLES, HD Audio, AT LEAST 2* 16x PCI-E, AND A :banana::banana::banana::banana:O STAR IN BUDDLE !!!

    If you don't ask for, nobody will give you, they'll give less for more higher price

    the board looks really nice but a few things caught my eye.

    1st Gigabyte normally always ship their top end board with Dual lans... (not that it's a big deal or anything)

    2nd Gigabyte has also been shipping the high end boards with way to much USB 3.0 as in every port was 3.0 now back down to 2 3.0 ports????

    3rd Only one 8pin CPU power and 1 extra Sata power connection for running lots of Video cards???

    Not that any of these make a huge difference in the real world. It's just interesting to see them taking out some of the "premium" features they normally use to sell the top end boards.

    love the colors though. however I will wait to see the ROG board.

    "Smart Dual LAN
    GIGABYTE Smart Dual LAN technology features intelligent LAN port auto-switching between the 2 physical Gigabit LAN chips; offering hassle free, zero downtime, high speed network connectivity."


    Taken from Gigabytes product page. Does this mean that It has two lan chips with only one port or does this mean that it realy has two ports and the pics are wronge?

    Looks like Gigabyte just copy and pasted info from one of their older motherboard's info and pasted it onto the 990FX-UD7 page, very misleading and epic fail from Gigabyte.

    No joke. They should have just used a 6-pin PCI-E power connector like MSI or even an 8-pin . It'd be way less fragile and bring (I'm guessing) 3-4x as much power.
