Gigabyte currently offers several X58 boards for the Core i7 platform, including a couple of top-end boards. One of the drawbacks to some people though will be the price of X58 boards. Gigabyte's EX58-UD3R and EX58-UD4P (see the OCC review here) are being offered at more reasonable prices points without giving up too much in the process. We also turned up a review on ASRock's rather ambitiously named SuperComputer X58 board. Racing game fans should check out the Speedblack gaming platform designed to give gamers a solid platform on which to mount a steering wheel and a set of pedals. The Cooler Master V8 CPU cooler (reviewed by OCC here) is a good way to keep the latest processors from Intel and AMD cooled down.
