Gigabyte G1 Assassin and Intel Core i7 990X Extreme Edition Review

@ 2011/03/04
Today KitGuru will find out if this board is worth your time and money, and thanks to Intel we have their latest Core i7 990x Extreme Edition to partner up Gigabyte's latest and greatest X58 board. Our goal is to hit 5.0ghz on modest liquid cooling, a rather tall order for the hot running 12 core flagship processor. Getting 4.8ghz stable with a 980x was a challenge, outside the realms of exotic watercooling or phase change anyway, so we hope the 990x allows us a little more headroom today.

No Killer Nic test ? no idea how they can recommend a 500 euro board over a 300 one... as they both will do the same...
