Gigabyte EP45T-Extreme

INTRODUCTION

When I heard that I was going to be getting the Gigabyte EP45T-Extreme I was extremely excited. It’s been quite a long time now since I’ve gotten my hands on a motherboard designed specifically for overclocking. The last one was from DFI, back when their LanParty boards were king. My past few boards have been from MSI, and although they make quality products, their BIOS options for overclocking are somewhat limited and not what I would consider designed for advanced users.

Gigabyte has one of the top reputations for engineering and producing some fantastic products throughout their entire range of components and their motherboards are no exception to this standard. With that said, I’m ready to dive neck deep into this board to see what it brings to the table and if the results I’ve seen from some of my other cohorts in crime are any indication, this board should really standup and fly.
