Gigabyte X99 G1 Gigabyte X99 G1

Prve G1 (Gaming ploče) je Gigabyte još imao sa X58 čipsetom, nakon kojega su uslijedili i Z67, Z77, X79, Z87 itd. Tradicija je nastavljena i nova X99 serija donosi tri modela, uz ovoga kojeg danas testiramo tu su i X99-Gaming 7 WiFi te X99-Gaming 5. G1 je na vrhu liste i riječ je o ploči koja je krcata opremom i tehnologija. Sve što nudi može se pogledati na stražnjoj stranici, gdje su detaljnije uz grafički prikaz ploče opisane i prikazane tehnologije koje donosi. Na lijevoj strani su izdvojena četiri glavna područja – G1 Performance (4-way SLI/CFX, Digitalna napojna jedinica), G1 Audio (Creative Sound Core 3D, OP-AMP, Nichicon Cap., itd.), G1 Networking (Killer E2200 LAN), te g1 Looks (osvjetljenje ploče). Uz to, kupci mogu i vidjeti samu ploču i prije nego ju otpakiraju iz kutije, ukoliko otklope prednju stranicu.

Dodatna oprema koju ploča donosi je vrlo bogata i uključuje disk sa upravljačkim programima, disk sa wireless programima, izdašne korisničke upute, upute za brzu instalaciju, šest SATA kabela, I/O zaštita, jedan 2-way SLI konektor, jedan 3-way SLI konektor, jedan 4-way SLI konektor, jedan 2-Way CrossFire konektor, jedna antena za bežičnu mrežu i Bluetooth te jedan 1-to-3 napojni kabel.

X99 serija je doživjela velike dizajnerske izmjene u odnosu na prethodnu X79 G1.Assasin 2 ploču, te sada prati smjernice dizajna zadane sa Z97X-Gaming pločom. S njom dijeli zajednički izbor boja, dizajn hladnjaka, boju PCB-a, te komponenata i elemenata na PCB-u. Ploča izgleda moćno, nakrcana je opremom i kvalitetnim komponentama i svakako će se odlično uklopiti u kućištze s prozirnom stranicom i zbog decentnog LED osvjetljenja (koje može služiti i kao ambijentalno osvjetljenje koje mijenjamo putem sotvera). Layout ove velike EATX (30.5 x 25.9 cm) ploče je odličan, ništa ničemu ne smeta, sve je vrlo pravilno raspoređeno, a opreme je toliko da su u Gigabyteu posegnuli za sendvič konstrukcijom M.2 utora gdje je ugrađena WiFi/BT kartica tik do PCB-a, a iznad nje je moguće ugraditi dodatnu SSD karticu ili nešto slično. Izbor boja je malo konzervativniji, i Gigabyte se ovdje pokušava primaknuti Asusu, pa su jedini elementi koji “bodu” oči zeleni Nichiconovi audio kondenzatori.
