Gigabyte G1.Assassin 3 Motherboard Detailed

Gigabyte showed off an early version of its upcoming high-end socket LGA2011 motherboard, the G1.Assassin 3, at IDF. Based on the same Intel X79 Express chipset as its predecessor, this board is built in the standard ATX form-factor. It draws power from a combination of 24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS connectors. It uses a 9-phase VRM to condition power to the CPU socket, which uses PowIRstage driver-MOSFETs by International Rectifier. The CPU socket is wired to eight DDR3 DIMM slots, supporting up to 64 GB of memory, and four PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots. A couple of PCI-Express 2.0 x1 slots complete the expansion area.

Storage connectivity on the G1.Assassin 3 includes four each of SATA 6 Gb/s and SATA 3 Gb/s ports. Network connectivity includes two gigabit Ethernet interfaces, from which one is driven by an Intel-made controller, and an add-on card with 802.11ac WLAN, and Bluetooth 4.0. A hyped up feature here is its Creative Sound Core3D audio, with a high SNR DAC, audiophile-grade OPAMP circuitry with user-replaceable amps (Gigabyte calls this AMP-UP). Six USB 3.0 ports, and a number of USB 2.0/1.1 ports make for the rest of it. Gigabyte didn't finalize heatsink designs for the VRM or PCH, and there's no word on when exactly the company plans to launch the thing.

Gigabyte Recalling X79 UD3, UD5, G1.Assassin 2 Motherboards

Gigabyte, in BTA's link in the OP, says this(translated from Chinese):

Seems to me:

1: Boards with specific model BIOS are recalled from retail shops.

2: Users that already bought the board can flash to the "F7" BIOS, and boards now have lifetime warranty(instead of 5 years in NA)

3: Users that are still not comfortable with the BIOS flash have unconditional return policy.


I've touched base with Gigabyte to get clarification on the issue. I'll update as info comes in, but in the meantime, it seems that Gigabyte has found fault in the BIOS itself, and not the hardware. I doubt they'd extend warranty to lifetime on products that have faulty hardware. Remains to be seen if the BIOS update affect clocknig or anything, but as I am also working on a review of the GA-X79-UD5, you can bet that I'll check it out.

Hello,

The best option would be to use the 10.1.17541.8066 version available at Gigabyte's website below for your motherboard.
