Love that 4 way SLI ud7
Why no 2 banks of quad channel?
(I know about performance benefits of 1 bank vs 2)
let the user decide if they wish to fill it

Indeed, MOAR!! Nice find, so umm... these GB x79 mobos will support PCIe 3.0 after all? The UD5 looks quite good, especially if you do not plan on more than 2-3 gpus, the UD7 will be great for quad gpus and ln2 oc'ing.

I want to know why the ud7 does not have dual nics... EVGA, will you be able to match the ud7 at launch?

Yep it will support PCI-E 3.0 and for SLI it will be PCI-E 8.0x which is around the same bandwidth as PCI-E 2.0 16x

I like the 4-way SLI board. I wonder the dimensions are for that board. Also, I prefer four memory slots to eight. Hopefully EVGA will post up some more images of their X79 boards.

Yes, the UD7 looks mighty nice (even in orange - nice change of pace from all of the red and blue). C'mon EVGA show us what you got!

EVGA made a strategic decision of having four slots, it makes it easier in terms of determining how many channels are running. Will they offer more someday in another board, sure, with a price. In the meantime all vendors will have their own configuration. But if you guys want more memory banks then why not get the Xeon version (Xeon E5-1600 series plus C600 chipset) since they always have more Dimm slots? Sure many won't overclock the CPU, so that is a sacrifice you have to make. cblaxx
these are SICK looking!!! but i dont get how it supports PCI-E 3.0 if the intel chipset doesnt????? PCIe 3.0 controller is in the CPU, not the chipset, the X79 is really just a southbridge. Like all previous southbridges, it has a lower standard high-bus controller than the primary. For example, LGA1156 and LGA1155 CPUs have an on-die PCIe 2.0 controler, but the P55/P67/Z68 chipset had a built-in PCIe 1.1 controller. With 3.0 rolling into upcoming CPU's, now 2.0 goes to the chipset. If the CPU is 2.0, then everything is 2.0, as mentioned.

according to MSI the G1 assassin2 is the only mobo in GB's lineup with the pci-e 3.0 switches, caps and bios supposrt. of course, MSI did the testing themselves so one can say it may be suspect so basically this is rumor until a third party can verify. http://motherboardnews.com/2011/09/07/oh-snap-msi-lashes-out-at-gigabyte-over-pcie-gen3-claims/

nice looking boards ... wonder if a mITX variant would even be possible at all Looking at the closest form factor which was a Shuttle barebone that used a $550 X58 board, I think since SB/SB-E aren't crowded with chipsets and just have the branded southbridge; there is more than enough space for an LGA2011. Possible, yes. Practical, meh, it could be very expensive, like $750 for the barebone version easily. The true miniITX form only has space for one add-in with a full suite of I/O panel like this one by Zotac using Z68, but if some I/O were eliminated then two-PCIe spaces are possible, like this one by AxionTek (though it used mobile C2D 478-pin). An LGA2011 + four SO-DIMMs on the circuit side might fit, but maybe just one PCIe x16, not more without breaching the form factor. Might as well have a mATX version with four slots.

Look at all the choices Gigabyte will offer and they use metal heatsinks instead of plastic ones.

I am going to wait for all the reviews and see what is really going on. The last couple of Intel products (aka 320 SSD and P67 Chip set) had issues. I would be very disappointed to spend 1000+ and have to RMA a MD....

sorry to revive the thread, but I got to thinking, anyone remember the UD9 for X58?
I might have to wait and see what gigabyte comes up with for a X79-UD9 board, I bet it will be epic.
