Gigabyte X48-DQ6 Review - Overclockers Club

looks like i'll be trading my x38 dq6 for the x48 then.

looks liek they even improved on the crappy CPU placement on the x38 lol

what crappy placement?

The cpu is seated so near the top on the X38 dq6 it's nearly impossible to place anythinthing there. TRUE or TUNIQ would be out of the question, at least with my case. I can just barely fit the small Dtek Fuzion block on it with the rad in there.

This board really does rock ! Amazing benchmarks.

Ill have to look for more reviews.
