Since most of us do not need to by 100 motherboards at once, we will take a look at the consumer market gaming series from ECS, the X79R-AX Black Extreme and Deluxe. As usually, ECS has built solid, well designed no-nonsense boards with a focus on substance over style.
GIGABYTE is ready to flex its muscles with their X79 lineup of great motherboard options. This time around we are sure to get the GIGABYTE X79-UD7, UD5, and UD3 for each of the three primary markets (Entry level, Performance, and Enthusiast).

In an rather strange announcement, Gigabyte has released an update for their entire 6 series line of Intel LGA 1155 socket motherboards. It adds support for the 22nm Ivy Bridge socket 1155 processors to be released after the socket 2011 chips in early 2012. It also unlocks support for PCIe 3.0 which implies all these boards are wired for this already.
