In 2008, Intel launches 2 latest Chipset which are P45 and X58 plus ICH10.
These architectures are new goal for all the motherboard manufacturers.
“P” series always become the mid-high end products.
As per the experience, Intel P35/45 is still the most popular products as the OC ability is easily to catch “X” series.
GIGABYTE is always very good at Intel MB product line and separate products into DS3/DS4/DQ6 3 levels,
the familiar model names for users buying guide by budget.
In new P45 Chipset, GIGABYTE launched a new model is more hi-end than DQ6.
The leading role of this test - GIGABYTE P45T EXTREME.
For a long time, DQ6 is always the most hi-end model.
However, after then Extreme series is the new flag ship.
GIGABYTE P45T EXTREME Box
New design style and pattern for EXTREME series
Accessories
Installation Guide, Manual, Software CD, cables, I/O panel
GIGABYTE P45T EXTREME Body
Left Down Corner
1 X PCIE X1
3 X PCIE(Blue slot run at x16 as exclusive used. When you use 3 VGA, the slots operate at x8+x8+x4)
3 x PCI
Realtek 8111C is LAN chip supporting Teaming technology
Realtek ALC889A supports 7.1 channel and High Definition Audio. It also supports Dolby sound even user only use 2 channel speakers.
PCB is MADE IN TAIWAN
Right Down Corner
6 x SATAII (By ICH10R)
1 x IDE
POWER/RESET buttons, Debug LED (the rare design in GIGABYTE products)
Right Up Corner
4 x DIMM DDR3, supports 800/1066/1333/1900,1900 is spec after OC
DRAM provide extra2 phase PWM, the next by is 24-pin power connector
CPU PWM, use 6+6 phases PWM and support DES advanced technology.
The new VRD11.1 design guide, Intel E0 CPU will run with Intel latest energy saving technology.
In my personal view, the 6-phase CPU PWM or support 8-phase in digital are good enough for the hi-end model.
Ex. GIGABYTE uses 6+6-phase, DFI uses 8-phase digital.
The entry like Biostar uses 4-phase PWM also can run Dual core and Quad core OC.
The great benefits are power saving and environmental protection.
IO Part
6 X USB 2.0
2 X RJ-45 Jack
1 X S/PDIF
Additional Clear COMS button
