Core i7 - Pics of Gigabyte X58-EXTREME, LGA 1366 Socket

[termite]

Newsflash. There are two buttons down there (power and reset). Same buttons / functions as the ones on your cases. Bench testing, etc. Gigabyte feature.

The clear CMOS is the jumper pins just like other Gigabyte boards. Just unfortunate placement of the silkscreen.



Make sense?

The CLR CMOS is on the current GIGABYTE GA-EP45T-EXTREME LGA 775 board. And seeing that the "X58" board shown here looks exactly like the GA-EP45T........

The pink to green color is blinding.

I'm a bit confused as to why they would have watercooling ports over what would seemingly be the north-bridge... except isn't that just now a big PCI-E switch? Is there a need for any major cooling of that chip at all?
