Gigabyte provided a guided tour of their Z77 products, which include the G1.Sniper 3, G1.Sniper M3 (mATX), GA-Z77X-UD5H, GA-Z77X-UD3H, and GA-B75M-D3H. The M3 represents the first Sniper series board in an mATX form factor, while the D3H was tagged as a business class machine

They did mention that the heatsinks on them were just placeholders from older boards and that the final boards will have new heatsink designs on them.

First thing I noticed too. Colour scheme needs some work!

 

[EarthDog]

Yeah.. they look pre production... and as Sebas noted, are.

I cant wait for IB now!

appearance will be totally different than what is shown, GB likes to change it up to keep *** guessing haha, that is why MSI waited and made GB's mistake with the gun on the Assassin 2 and bigbang2.

BTW Ivy Will be SO SICK! OCing rumors if anyone has heard, no CB and max out multis and blck.

They aren't guns! This is to be encouraged!

They do look like PGA478 cpu heatsinks though.

I kinda like 'em
