Intel X79 Mobo & Self Contained WC Kit Pictured!

[unknownuser200]

The DX79SI features an X79 Chipset (Patsburg-A), 8 Memory slots with Quad Channel capabilities, 3 PCIe x16 slots operating at x16,x16/x8 & x8, 2 PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, legacy PCI slot, ATX Form Factor, a fairly empty I/O area and a whopping FOUR SATA ports (2 6Gb/s and 2 3Gb/s)

The kit is similar to the H70 and features a copper cpu WB while being compatible with LGA 2011, 1366, 1155 & 1156 (idk about 775 but who cares anyways).

Pricing for the kit is said to be around $99 USD.

The cooling system is supposedly aimed at those who aren't receiving a stock cooler with their LGA2011 Intel Product...

Closely followed by the X79 Gigabyte offerings:

X79-UD5

X79UD7/OC

X79 G1 Asassin 2

Bit expensive for whats basically a stripped down H70.

The UD5 looks so AWESOME!

14 sata ports

I like the astehtics of having ram slots on each side of the cpu socket. I can't imagine it being particularly practical heatsink wise. In reply to the gigabyte boards, the UD7/OC board looks brilliant in orange

Shame intel dont ship those sealed watercooling kits with some of their top CPU's.

Yeah might be some problems with larger coolers.

Those orange and green Gigabyte boards look super nice

some more pix.. it will be intresting to see what Asus and evga bring to match these

 

[sheroo]

Lovely looking boards. Anyone know why the memory slots are either side of the cpu socket?

 

[unknownuser200]

its quad channel memory..... something to do with the cpu design it needs to be on both sides rather then just 1 side

 

[dipzy]

wow that UD5 looks boom

If that's got 8 ram slots, how many will sr-3 have, 16 ?

 

[Lollipop]

GIGABYTE I LOVE YOUR COLOUR SCHEMES!!!!

Honestly Giga are way ahead of ASUS in terms of colour schemes.... pure black/orange-black/green-black = win.... and i can't wait to see 8 sticks of RAMin one mobo...

 

[Azurite]

So the Ud7 is orange. Dammit!! was hoping they would make it similar to the ud7 socket 1155 and 990fxa. Do you guys think there will be a ud9 or that it will come with a different look than the orange?

Might go for the UD5 maybe.

??? You mean the UD5? And it is pure black.....

NVM me failing to read... lol

 

[unknownuser200]

thats the UD7 OC im sure there will be a standard ud7

 

[Matthias2437]

Saving for my rig already (seriously) 8 memory slots.... YES PLEASE. I haven't built a personal Intel build in a while but hot damn I can't wait for this.

 

[AxJaWz]

Can't see by the angle but does anyone know if the X79UD7/OC is standard ATX or EATX?

 

[Matthias2437]

Also the pricing on that Intel cooler is insane, it looks poor, and has the same mounting system as the few year old H70. For that price you are better off with almost anything.
