Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Motherboard

The Gigabyte x48T-DQ6 has a very impressive set of features with performance that matches. We especially like the heatsink implementation which allows the board to run silently without raising temperatures too much. Gigabyte also does a good thing by using all solid state capacitors. The backpanel's eight USB ports will be very useful for many.

One criticism is Gigabyte's use of colors on the motherboard- pink DDR3 sockets? We would have also liked to see better voltage controls on the motherboard through the BIOS which is a little hard to memorize every single step to set on.
