04 Jun, 2008, 2:00 pm IST | by Jayesh Mansukhani | Motherboards

Gigabyte at Computex 08 has showcased their latest range of high performance motherboards featuring their proprietary Ultra Secure and Ultra Power Efficient Technologies and has given sneak peeks of the GA-EP45-EXTREME and GA-EG45M-DS2H motherboards based on Intel's latest 4 Series chipsets, as well as the GA-MA790GP-DS4H with support for the AMD 790GX chipset.

One of the boards on display is Gigabyte's flagship P45 motherboard, the GA-EP45-EXTREME designed for overclocking performance. The GA-EP45-EXTREME is based on the latest Intel P45 chipset with support for Intel multi-core processors up to FSB 1600MHz, including Intel 45nm processors, support for ATI CrossFireX  Technology with 2 PCI Express 2.0 x 8 interfaces, and dual LAN with teaming functionality, for increased bandwidth. The GA-EP45-EXTREME is also equipped with Gigabyte's unique Hybrid Silent-Pipe slot cooling system, which utilizes the natural convection of air inside and outside the chassis to dramatically and noiselessly cool down the North Bridge, South Bridge and CPU MOSFETs without the use of a fan. The Gigabyte Hybrid Silent-Pipe can also be used with water block cooling systems for additional enhanced thermal performance.

Also on display is the Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H, an integrated graphics solution based on the Intel G45 chipset, ideal for building digital home theater systems.

On the AMD side, Gigabyte presents the GA-MA790GP-DS4H, featuring the AMD 790GX chipset with integrated ATI Radeon HD 3300 DirectX10 graphics engine and support for the latest AMD Phenom quad-core processors including a 4+1 phase power design to support 125W and above processors. In addition to support for HDMI 1.3, DVI and HDCP interfaces.

Gigabyte has equipped the GA-MA790GP-DS4H with a host of features including support for ATI's Hybrid CrossFireX and CrossFireX technology as well as dedicated 128MB DDR3 SidePort memory to enable extremely smooth video playback without affecting system memory performance.

Gigabyte also includes the ALC889A high performance audio codec and Dolby Home Theater suite of audio technologies, making the GA-MA790GP-DS4 a strong competitor in the HTPC market.
