Gigabyte X58A-UD9: A Massive Board for a Massive Score

The Board

This is how it looks like with the Hybrid Silent Pipe attached (note the big chunks of aluminum fins on the center part of the board). Cool ‘eh?

One of the main features of the X58A-UD9 is the Quad SLI/ CrossfireX support. Two nForce NF200 chips are utilized to add some more PCI-Express lanes, thus providing maximum bandwidth for all of the graphics cards installed on it.
