Gigabyte Intros A75N-USB 3.0 Mini-ITX Motherboard for AMD A-Series APUs
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsGIGABYTEGA-A75N-USB3
Gigabyte released its newest premium HTPC motherboard in the mini-ITX form-factor, the A75N-USB3. As the name might suggest, this is a socket FM1 motherboard based on the AMD A75 chipset, and features USB 3.0 connectivity. Despite its compact dimensions, the board crams in everything a HTPC can benefit from. First, the FM1 socket seats AMD A-Series accelerated processing units (APUs), which pack up to four x86-64 cores with up to 4 MB cache, dual-channel DDR3-1866 integrated memory controller, and more importantly, a very powerful integrated graphics processor in the Radeon HD 6500 class. The FM1 socket on this board is powered by a 3+1 phase VRM that makes use of driver-MOSFETs. Power is dr...

Gigabyte Teases with G1.Assasin 2 LGA2011 Motherboard Pictures
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsGIGABYTEG1.Assassin2 (rev. 1.0)
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 ...

Gigabyte Intros New H61M-USB3-B3 Motherboard
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsGIGABYTEGA-H61M-USB3-B3 (rev. 1.0)
Gigabyte rolled out its latest budget socket LGA1155 motherboard in the micro-ATX form-factor, the GA-H61M-USB3-B3 rev. 2.0. This new board adds to the slim feature-set of Intel H61 with third-party SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3.0 controllers. The CPU is powered by a 6-phase VRD12 compliant VRM, it is wired to just two DDR3 DIMM slots, supporting dual-channel DDR3-1333 MHz memory. Expansion slots include one PCI-Express 2.0 x16, a legacy PCI, and two PCI-Express 2.0 x1.
All four of the chipset's SATA 3 Gb/s ports are internal (H61 lacks SATA 6 Gb/s). An additional Marvell 88SE9172 controller gives out two SATA 6 Gb/s ports with RAID 0/1/0+1 support. An Etron EJ168 controller gives out two USB 3.0 po...

Gigabyte GA-7TESM Server Board Supports a Whopping 288GB of DDR3 Memory
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsGIGABYTEGA-7TESM
Maybe you're aware that DDR3 memory is nearly as cheap as tap water these days. That means you can totally justify stocking up on gobs of RAM, but at what point do you stop? Long before 288GB, which is more than your motherboard or any consumer board supports, but is exactly the amount you can stick in Gigabyte's GA-7TESM motherboard.
The GA-7TESM is a dual-socket motherboard for Intel's Xeon 5500 and 5600 series. It's outfitted with 18 DIMM slots and has been validated to play nice with 16GB Netlist HyperCloud DDR3-1333 memory modules. These are special modules that utilize a technology called rank multiplication to fit 16GB on a single stick. It's a trick that hides physical ranks of chips...

MSI: Gigabyte motherboard are not PCIe Gen 3 ready
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsMSIGIGABYTE
There's a bit of a mud fight inbetween MSI and Gigabyte as it seems. In short Gigabyte all of the sudden claims that many of their motherboard already are PCIe Gen 3 compatible.
MSI's marketing department has created a series of slides to rebut Gigabyte's claim that its motherboards are PCI Express 3.0 ready. The company claims that out of as many as 40 of Gigabyte's PCIe Gen 3 ready motherboards, only the G1.Sniper 2 is really ready for PCIe 3.0.

Gigabyte Releases SATA Mode Switching Tool
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsGIGABYTE
Gigabyte released a new utility that allows you to change the mode of the chipset SATA controller between IDE, AHCI, and RAID (if available), from within Windows. While the switching isn't exactly on-the-fly (because changing SATA mode is effectively changing the SATA controller as Windows sees it, and hence can't happen on-the-fly), it certainly saves the trouble of going into BIOS setup and digging out that option. The utility works by writing the value of the selected mode to the CMOS, and prompting a system reboot for the change to take effect. Gigabyte's Disk Mode Switch utility works on Gigabyte motherboards based on Intel 6-series chipset (H61, H67, P67, and Z68). Now why you'd need a...

Gigabyte Officially (and Finally) Launches G1.Sniper2 Motherboard
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsGIGABYTEG1.Sniper 2 (rev. 1.0)
Gigabyte is finally showing socket 1155 system builders some weapon themed love with the launch of the G1.Sniper2 motherboard, the 1155 version of the socket 1366 G1.Sniper and little brother to the G1.Assassin we reviewed in the June 2011 issue of Maximum PC (and by "little," we mean it doesn't require a honking XL-ATX chassis, a standard ATX case will do just fine).
The G1.Sniper2 is built around Intel's Z68 chipset and wields the same weapon inspired motif as Gigabyte's other G1 boards, most notably the magazine shaped heatsink Gigabyte clearly warns is "not a weapon. Cannot be assembled as a weapon," just in case you were wondering.
