Gigabyte G1 Assassin and Intel Core i7 990X Extreme Edition Review – 5ghz

Gigabyte have wrapped up their G1 Assassin motherboard in a huge box, twice the depth we are used to seeing in our labs. The artwork is also extremely impressive, giving the indication that you will find some very cool army related kit inside.

Our box didn't have any sata cables bundled, but we would assume that a previous reviewer has decided he needed a few spares. There is a three way SLI connector included, as well as a standard 2 way SLI connector, and a crossfire connector. They include a backplate, stickers, software disc, poster, misc literature, manual, screws and other goodies.

For good measure they throw in a USB 3.0 and eSATA/USB Front Access Control Panel. On the far left there is a ‘Quick Boost' button which overclocks the system with a single button press.
