 | Re: Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 Motherboard Review Even though it looks like someone threw up a rainbow on them, Gigabyte boards are awesome. How does the x16 lanes lock, Paul? Looks like it'd be a pain to reach the tabs with a lunker dual-slot video card like an 8800, similar to those annoying squeeze tabs.  | ||||||||||||||

| Re: Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 Motherboard Review The PCI-E tabs are actually a strong point, and I'd like to see all manufacturers follow suit. You can pull the white tab from behind, or push them in from the other side, whichever affords you easier access. | ||||||||||||||

 | Re: Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 Motherboard Review nice review. my GA X38 DQ6 is waiting for me at my parents house :-D for what its worth, quadcore processors generally have a rougher time getting higher fsb overclocks than dualcores but still, 465mhz for a quad is pretty good. cant wait to see what mine does with an E6750  E8400 @ 4ghz (500x8 @ 1.35v) Gigabyte X38-DQ6 2x2GB G-Skill DDR2 1000 @ DDR2 1000 5-5-5-15 2.1v 2 Sapphire ATi Radeon HD3870 in Crossfire Seagate 7200.11 500GB 32MB Cache HDD Audigy 2 ZS Gamer Silverstone DA750 Samsung Dual Layer DVD Burner Lian Li G70WB Thermochill PA120.3|Swiftech Storm Rev.2|Swiftech MCP 655 | ||||||||||||||
