Right, there we have the Gigabyte X58A-UD9. That's a smoking hot feature rich motherboard alright. Everything on this motherboard is focused on one thing, performance, with some very delicate overclock features and slick design.
The two tone (white/blue) design appeals to some, and not so much others as dark colored PCBs are the trend these days. What immediately catches the eye are of course the seven PCIe slots. What immediately catches the eyes (2) is the waterblock sitting on top of the PCH! Look at that.
We received the final retail sample and as such it comes packed with a nice phat product bundle. Among the gear inside the kit you'll find the following:
- X58 Motherboard
- Driver/Utility CD
- SATA cables
- SATA bracket
- IDE cable
- USB Bracket
- CrossfireX bridges
- SLI bridges
- Back IO shield
- Manual
- HDD power converter cables
- Heatsink extender / Hybrid Silent Pipe module
Gigabyte includes an extra heatsink which they call the Hybrid Silent Pipe module that screws onto the top of the Northbridge heatsink to provide extra cooling for those that will be sticking to air cooling for the board. Quite honestly, we doubt it's even needed, but it does add a certain 'flair' to the product, and sure enough, it does help out.
