Gigabyte Rolls Out Crucial BIOS Update For Overclockers With X79 Mobos

Posted on Dec 28, 2011 by MG1

Pushing your PC to its limits has obvious inherent dangers; overclocking your CPU can definitely bust your rig if you push it too far. That being said, reasonable overclocking doesn’t actually carry too much risk – normally. Right before Christmas, one overclocker’s Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 mobo crashed, then burned (literally) in the midst of a lightweight stress test. After he posted the video on YouTube (the fun stuff happens in the last 20 seconds), Gigabyte looked into the problem, and apparently, it wasn’t a case of crap luck. Yesterday, Gigabyte’s Chinese branch announced the faulty CPU VRM is a widespread issue and recalled the GA-X79-UD3, GA-X79-UD5, GA-X79-UD7 and G1.Assassin 2 mobos. U...

Gigabyte is set to include Wi-Fi and the new Bluetooth 4.0 standard as an add-on card for several of its new X79 motherboards, according to VR-Zone. The card will be in the boxes of X79-UD5, X79-UD7 and G1.Assassin 2 boards, and features a mini-PCI express Wireless N module, two moveable base antennas, Bluetooth 4.0 and a USB port.
The mini Wireless card uses an Atheros chip and will be powered from the PCI-express bus with the Bluetooth connected via a USB header. It also features an internal USB connector on the card allowing you to add any USB device from within the case, a rare feature that many may find quite useful.

Gigabyte Teases with G1.Assasin 2 LGA2011 Motherboard Pictures

Posted on Oct 20, 2011 by MG1

Gigabyte teased us with pictures of its high-end socket LGA2011 motherboard featured in its G1.Killer series of motherboards designed for the gamer-overclocker market. The G1.Assassin 2, as it’s called, is based on the Intel X79 chipset. We don’t have landscape pictures of the board, yet, but whatever little bits of pictures we do have, reveal quite a bit. To begin with, this board will retain the black+green “weapon” styling of predecessors in the series. The LGA2011 socket is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots, in sets of two, on either sides of the socket. Each DIMM slot has its own memory channel.
From the CPU VRM heatsink, a heat pipe is finding its way to a stylized X79 PCH heatsink. This ...
