Gigabyte X99 Gaming G1 Makes an Appearance

Gigabyte X99 Gaming G1 Makes an Appearance

With so many motherboard manufacturers spilling the beans Gigabyte figured, hey let's do that as well. Below the fold you can check out a photo of the upcoming X99 based Gigabyte X99 Gaming G1. As they say themselves on Facebook "GIGABYTE is working hard on it's next line-up. Here is the world first look at X99! "

X99 is developed for the 6 and 8-core DDR4 supporting Haswell-E" HEDT platform and is based on socket LGA2011-3  (this one is incompatible with the current LGA2011 btw). The motherboards based on X99 can support a whopping five PCI-Express 3.0 x16 which can be arranged in these slot configurations, x16/NC/x16/NC/x8, or x16/NC/x8/x8/x8 and yeah, even x8/x8/x8/x8/x8. A 4-way multi-GPU setup suddenly became very sexy.

X99 will bring a whopping 10-port SATA 6 Gb/s storage controller supporting RAID RST and SRT and SSD TRIM on RAID 0 configurations. 

The motherboard seems to offer:

  • Four PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots (x16/NC/x16/NC or x16/NC/x8/x8 or x8/x8/x8/x8)
  • Ten SATA 6 Gb/s
  • one SATA-Express 10 Gb/s
  • M.2 slot
  • 802.11 ac WLAN, Bluetooth 4.0, and gigabit Ethernet (Qualcomm Killer E2200).
  • Sound Core3D audio solution
Anyway, have a peek:

The pic shows 4x PCIe x16 slots, yet in the post, it says in a couple places that there are 5 PCIe x16 slots.
