The anticipation is building leading up to the drawing for the massive set of prizes in this year's OverclockersClub Christmas giveaway. In order to relieve some of the tension how about checking out what turned up in today's roundup. Along with the release of Intel's Core i7 processors came the new X58 chipset from Intel. Today we get a look at a pair of X58-based motherboards from Gigabyte and MSI. We also have more reviews of top-end components such as Kingston's 2GB HyperX PC3-16000 DDR3 memory kit and a HD4870 X2 card from Gainward.
