The cheapest looking one is the only one with a good slot layout
Looks like MSI has completely ditched PCI.
I dont mind ditching PCI, but they need to have room for 2x triple slot GPU and a PCI-E soundcard, or 3x double slot GPU + soundcard now.
Only the lowest model has that.
tiny chipset heatsinks. makes you wonder why other board makers used fans.
Triple slot spacing is something ASUS needs, MSI still has the common sense of making good dual slot custom GPU cooling solutions. Triple GPU plus sound card is possible on both GD65 boards in a case with 8 or more PCI brackets, on the upside you get a much beefier PWM on both core and uncore sections. If rumors of launch silicon power requirements are true your daily overclock is going to be affected by the quality of motherboards PWM.
Gotta admit though, both GD45 boards are sharp looking. Excellent layout, no extraneous features (*cough* marvel sata), voltage readpoints, rear panel clear CMOS... I'm glad they've made the effort to overhaul the PCBs post feature cull, unlike say GB who yanked off a couple of sata stacks and called it a day.
I understand that this is going to be a quad channel system. But if you have only 4 dimms on the damn board, why cant they be on the same side of the socket?...Like every other motherboard available?
so that each channel is closer to the cpu/of equal length.
The 65 can hold 3 cards + one audio... just the same as the 45. I'm not sure what people are talking about.
I am shocked to see such a large socket on a mATX board. I like it!
I'm also glad they used 1x slots EVERYwhere on the cheap baord. PCI is dying, and people w/ 2 or 3 cards won't care what slots are covered up.
You must [not] advance.

Nice, they look really good. Funny, I prefer the look of the cheapest one.
Im not a big motherboard enthusiast personally.
Why are all the current marketing trends for mobos related to the military/guns/army?
Seems so lame to me.

X79A-GD65 (MS-7736 V1.1) Has interesting heat sinks with the heat pipe connecting them. I'd put a fusion style water block for chipset cooling on it. (if possible)
Does somebody know for certain if 2500k will work with X79?
mainboards with bullets coolers
Nice looking boards. I hope the price will not be so high for the GD65 model. Thats the one I'm most interested in. Hope we do get to see som BigBang and GD80 boards too soon.
