I installed windows via USB3 tonight

Saved me 5 seconds on install time, and that included a format

Total time to desktop? From naked drives ... 6 minutes 40 seconds

Going to work on getting a more accurate bench measurement based on single drives.

Well, it looks like it might be a bit better than both the REX and classy.
Hicookie said it's the best board he's ever used on fb

Splave · #6 02-22-2011

he is paid to say that george come on bro! Thats like mcdonalds saying they have the best cheeseburger

GeorgeStorm · #7 02-22-2011

Well true, but so far the results he's got with it seem to go some way to supporting it.
Don't shoot the messenger.
And I only said it might be better in my own opinion based on the fact it's focused on OC, and it's got a lot of experience behind it.

it could better than the rex and classy but what's the release date and how far from 2011 is it going to be? not to mention the price gb's ud9 was what $700 on release. if the x58a is over $350 I can't see it doing well with the timeframe between it's release and 2011.
unless this board ends up being what the x48 is to 3d01 for 05,06, or vantage, which seems unlikely.

we will see a 2011 variant of this board, count on it

If Giga comes to the 2011 table with a contender within same dollar value as EVGA and Asus enthusiast boards I may take it for a ride .....

If it is priced out of the market then that's where it wil remain

this in a 1366 is simply too late to the party ..... I still have to get my P67 gamer put together then save for 2011 not to mention get set up for cold so I can try to compete with the new socket ......

Thats not to say those with the budget, may be stealing cups with this thing, if it is all that and a big bag of chips .... keep in mind you need a hot rod CPU as no board can help if you have a POS chip

waiting and saving for 2011!
btw Hicookie is on facebook?
