Gigabyte Teases with Another G1-Killer X58 Motherboard Poster
As reported last month, Gigabyte has been working on a premium motherboard brand targeted at high-end gaming PCs, rivaling the Republic of Gamers (ROG) series from ASUS and Big Bang/XPower from MSI. One of the first products in this lineup is called "G1-Killer", and as it turns out is a socket LGA1366 motherboard based on the Intel X58 chipset. Gigabyte continues to tease us with new "cutout" pictures of the upcoming product. The latest poster shows a portion of the motherboard revealing the heatsink over the southbridge area, which is shaped like a 5.56 magazine, with even a round sticking out. One can also faintly see the six memory slots, four PCI-Express x16 slots, eight SATA ports (probably six 3 Gb/s and two 6 Gb/s). Said to be unveiled at CES 2011, the G1-Killer range is expected to start at US $299.

And for those slating this board, you have no idea what you're in for, but hey, go ahead, trash talk something you've only seen a glimpse of...
I've not played with toy guns since around that time : /
More relevant question though.
WTF is that thing on the NB???????:wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:
They should of let the guys who designed their P67-boards design this too, because those boards look fantastic.
for gaming rig (especially high end) the heatsink is not interesting at all :mad:, its like just square aluminum that painted black, even mid range board has hsf more attractive than this :banghead:
military look is a new trend, since MSI released military grade, sabertooth then gigabyte (maybe) wanna join the flow :rolleyes:
