Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Release Version Pictured
As a portion of the PC hardware industry gears up for the Nehalem November, with sources pointing at a Nov. 17 launch for the Core i7 processors by Intel, motherboard vendors are just about ready with their products. Gigabyte on its part, is ready with a complete range of motherboards based on the Intel X58 chipset.
The Gigabyte EX58-UD5 has been pictured by XFastest. This model forms the mid/high offering in its X58 range, with the Extreme variant holding the flag at the top. The board uses Gigabyte's newest Ultra Durable 3 PCB construction. In its range, the EX58-UD5 provides the same set of features the Extreme variant does, albeit the brute cooling system the Extreme sports. Gigabyte also made changes to its colour scheme, with memory slots getting rid of the melon-pink and green colours, deep blue for southbridge-routed SATA ports, white for external controller-routed ones, white also makes it to the lone IDE connector, FDD connector, and the PCI-E x1 slot. All in all, Gigabyte made sure the board doesn't look gaudy for buyers particular about its looks.

Things are definately getting heated up, there's gonna be a few options for sure! :toast:
But ye i hope these Giga boards are better than their X38/48 boards.
not a bad thing by a long shot im just shocked that they have all at the same time, its about time like....but.....:wtf:
do you think they have started to listen to most reviewers saying the same shit about their paint factory explosion colour schemes??
and i dont want to use the said onboard sond chip so i guess ill have to say with Gigabyte-GA-N680SLI-DQ6 for now
About the power button, indeed is wrong placed. And near it is another button without the "cap" attached. Strange position...
Finally, they droped the crayon-based colour theme. I realy like how the MB looks.
Although, i'm afraid i7 is a bit too much for my wallet..
But i still would never pick a mobo that was all pink with the slots on it purple or something, i hate those colors.
I like the colors on my 680i board(black PCB with blue and black RAM and PCI-E slots) looks very good IMO.
