Its performance and energy saving.

About time, can't wait to swap my DFI ddr2 board for something like that green sabre.

Mind you the black asrock am3+ boards look quite nice to

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7.

Gigabyte one looks so sexy...

Sadly no full USB3 back I/O like the 1555 equivalent.

that would look AWESOME with my black/yellow bulldozer build

hmm the Gigabyte board sure looks tasty, cant wait till next month hopefully

yeah the UD7 by Gigabyte looks nice,Gigabyte makes very reliable motherboards.

now Bulldozer starting to look really interesting.

I've compared it to the P67A/Z68X-UD7 and there some things missing/changed.

1. The back I/O is not completely USB3 (tad bit disappointing)
2. Only 1 USB3 front header (the one next to it is a useless TPM header)
3. Use of a EtronTech USB3 controller - benefit as it seems it is faster than the NEC controller

Off on a bit of a tangent there.

This thread is about AM3+ boards not Intel.

I'm comparing the AM3+ version of the UD7 to the 1555 version of the UD7? :confused:

No linux drivers for the Etron USB3 controller though

I don't suppose anyone's found anything in a mini ITX form factor?

Probably won't be 990FX mind.

Gigabyte really does look good and have listen to everyone saying ditch the cheap colors

SeeKified · 23 May 2011 at 08:34

Any idea why the sticker on the Gigabyte's RJ45 is blurred out? Very nice-looking board, I must say.

Will there be anymore boards coming out apart from these? Any news on maybe a Gaming Level Micro ATX board??? Would be really interesting

since the MSI 890GXM G65 is the only one at the moment.
