MiNuN's Monster: GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD7 MotherBoard |
2205 views |
 As for my MoBo I went with GIGABYTE's UD7 MoBo.  At first I originally wanted the ASUS P6X58D-Premium MoBo, but then I discovered GIGABYTE's UD9 MoBo, and of course, after finding out about the UD9, I absolutely wanted it as my MoBo.  There is one problem with the UD9 though...it is a XL ATX MoBo, yes, not extended but extra large! With the measurements laid out on the internet, it supposedly will not fit inside of the Level-10, so I went with the next best thing, UD7. Everything about the UD7 and UD9 is the exact same except for the size and the number of PCIe slots.  With the space I see inside of the Level-10, I feel like I could fit the UD9 MoBo but I am not going to risk trying...just going to go with the "facts" laid out.  Some things I would like to point out about this MoBo that I enjoy knowing are its; - Maximum support for R.A.M. is 24GB - Support for triple channel - Number of PCI slots - SATA 6GB/s (I guess 3GB/s as well, ha ha ha) - USB 3.0 ports - Double BIOS (If one fails, the other one will boot, as well a power/reset button on the MoBo) and the one thing that makes me the most happy about the MoBo is...the colour BLUE! , if you have not noticed, the two MoBos I picked before the UD7 is also coloured blue! I believe blue is the colour of the future for MoBos of all kind! I pick MoBos by colours! ha ha ha, it just so happen that my favourite colour is blue  .Anyhow, on to the pictures! Front of the box, is that a double-rainbow I see?!  Inside of the front flap, I really like the rainbow shiny-ness GIGABYTE does with their boxes o.O  Side view  Back view  Other Side  Bottom View  Top View  Top opened  Inner box!  Top View  Posing  Ah...the MoBo  Outside of the box  Hidden accessories!  I/O plate, wires, connectors, SLI connector  Another shot, back side  Manuals, CD and stickers. I swear that manual is HOLY, it is like the dummy guide to building a computer, so very easy to understand, I love GIGABYTE's manuals.  MoBo upclose!  I/O Front  I/O Back  I/O Back outside of plastic  I/O Front outside of plastic  MoBo with heatsink on top, I like the fact it came with a heat sink.  MoBo without the heatsink!  - MiNuN |

Although you may think it's "unnessisary,"
one: blogs are inherently "unnessisary," two: It's usually a smart idea to take pictures of new computer products and especially the unopened boxes in case of unforeseen warranty issues |

@phantasyx Basically a improved version of USB compared to 2.0 providing faster speed across devices/storage medias. Its still under development but motherboard manufactures like Gigabyte and Asus are already making motherboards equipped with USB 3.0.

It better be the coolest motherboard ever when it cost $700. How much will this build end up costing? How much as it cost so far?
Edit: Notice it's the Canadian site, so it's not $700 USD, probably around $500 or so, but still. |
