Gigabyte's elusive LGA1366 motherboard part of the company's G1-Killer series of motherboards targeting gamers has finally seen the lens. The socket LGA1366 motherboard by Gigabyte is based on the Intel X58 + ICH10R chipset, and is given the brand name G1.Guerrilla. To quickly run you through its styling, "Guerrilla" strikes a chord with a very "jungle warfare" color-scheme, which is black+green. This seems to be the case with the G1.Guerrilla, which goes close to looking like an NVIDIA desktop board.

The CPU is powered by an 8+2 phase VRM, wired to six DDR3 DIMM slots for triple-channel memory; the northbridge heatsink looks like a modular rifle barrel, and the southbridge heatsink like a 5.56 mm magazine. There are three PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots lending 3-way SLI and CrossFireX support, the usual two-port USB 3.0 + SATA 6 Gb/s duet, but a handful of interesting gamer-specific devices, such as the Killer 2100 hardware NIC, an HD audio CODEC that uses X-Fi MB software but high-grade electrolytic capacitors. The motherboard is out and out a gamers' motherboard. Gigabyte already has motherboards for overclockers which don't look very boutique but do the job, under its existing X58A UD5, UD7, and UD9 models.

Preview of the Assassin 'ere.
 
Most may think it's cheesy, but I like the magazine-heatsink thing. Looks like a beeaaast
 
Looks nice but that rifle magazine looks really cheap and cheesy...
 
I guess better late then never, but still I'd rather they focus on a cool 1155 board instead.
 
OK, the hardware features are nice... but the design... it looks like childish crap... no grotesque... a high end PC must reek of being monster... not a plastic toy... :shadedshu
 
looks the same as the assasin?? well except vrms
 
it has the X-Fi CA20K2 processor delcal on the spec sheet
 
I think this is the first time they actually used the CA20K2 chip. Usually they just stick X-Fi Xtreme Audio on it, meaning it has Realtek/ALI codec with Creative software.

its a typo. the guerrilla uses a normal audio codec and through software emulates X-Fi. Assassin & Sniper have proper X-Fi chips.
 
Kinda reminds me of XFX motherboards looks nice.
 
anyone spotted some electrolyte capacitors?
please tell me that my eyes are deceiving me :banghead:

Yes, they're. But only are for the audio subsystem. And they're high end. And they're goldish.
 
Really like the aesthetics of these boards. Green & black FTW!

Either way, it's interesting to see such high end audio chip integrated on mobo itself.
 
any news on when this will be on newegg?
