Gigabyte revised their colour scheme a bit for the X58 boards (no more pink ram slots hahaha)



there may yet me some more changes so keep harassing them about colour schemes as they are finally starting to listen woot

Im not a fan of the colour of the sata slots, but other than that, GREAT looking board

[BakerT]

Almost looks like they have used the same cooling solution used on the passive cooled Gigabyte 4850.

[Slovnaft]

THey should get rid of the orange PCI slots and go for an entirely blue/white/dark sliverrishchrome thing they got going on for the color scheme.
OH and they NEED to do away with the pushpins for their HS's!!! I can see those damned white plastic caps poking their heads up all over the place!

[ZoLKoRn]

Woot much better with blue and white Ram slot

yup i reckon we are going to see that changes imo...donno will see i guess

yeah man
that passive cooler is really good......why not use on chipset heh...chipset doesnt put out the same sort of heat as GPU but it is effective cooling for sure

[saaya]

still a lot of mixed colors, and babyblue... well... its better than pink!
the sb heatsink is a bit large... that would def be a problem to insulate...

[Macadamia]

White-blue-white-blue please.


That color scheme rocks, and probably will make anyone who got an Asus WS reconsider.

why would you insulate SB ROFL

[Junos]

Thats actually a really ugly board. They should use dark blue and white, and not add yellow, brown and green. Take it out of my sight already..

[tiro_uspsss]

the SB cooler looks cool. the NB cooler is just.. wth? - & what is that.. thing.. above the PCIEx4 slot

& so far all the ppl recommending colours - the colours they are suggesting are used by ASUS!

[Blacky]

hell yeah now looks sexier!!! now the pcb gogogo or atleast change the enthusiast line to black! tho I was wondering why the SB heatsink is big? since apparently doesnt have nf200's

I look forward to playing with that board Love the baby blue actually, just get rid of the yellow, orange, and purple and they are straight!

[tenebre]

who the chooses these colors

we need a new ABIT

[dinos22]

jeeeez you guys does anyone have any imagination

surely you can come up with some more exciting suggestions than just a 2 colour design
that's boring :p

i dare manufacturers to start customising PCBs to some killer designs....saaya was talking about stickers covering boards that would cost maybe $30....that's what a lot of end users want it seems.....i would personally like to have a board that looks like a huge pile of turd...that would be sweeeeeeeeet

imagine having some badass board look that can be done as easy as slapping a new PCB sticker heh

i dont actually care for colour on boards but i guess pink was a bit over the top...it would look slicker if there was some smarter colour coordination....colour quantity is not as important........but having some crazy ass PCB would look badass dont ya think

maybe Foxconn will give it a shot heh

[Mr GRiM]

Nice looking design, shame about the colours, but it is a step in the right direction 7/10

[[XC] gomeler]

Well the X48T-DQ6 and EP45T-Extreme were a bit garish with their color schemes. This board is a bit less eye-burning in color contrasts. The look of the board doesn't matter to the guys that are putting it under LN2 but we aren't the ones that buy vast quantities of boards

[RPGWiZaRD]

Board looks great but who the is their color designer? 5 year old kid?

Seriously only some small further color modifications would make it a lot better looking:

1. Replace the yellow parts with blue

2. Replace the orange PCI-E slots with black

3. Replace the lightgreen IDE connector with black or blue

... But at least it's an improvement...

thats a nice minimalistic mobo

loooooool

Thanks


I think that since most of the current brands that offers good enthusiast products (Asus, EVGA, Foxconn for example) put that black pcb color touch, gigabyte wants to be different... but I still don't agree with their rainbow color scheme, but with this one theres been a lot of progress... I'm starting to fell in love with it!

[dinos22]

that Abit mobo is booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring

but i can make it look better

lemme grab some

[Hornet331]

F*** the colors, i want good performance, stability and overclockability.
Hell the board could even be turd brown and puke green, i could care less if its a solid board that can oc.
