Gigabyte displays X38 mobo, overclocking
"According to Gigabyte, low-resistance MOSFETs, ferrite core chokes, and solid capacitors help reduce heat dissipation and increase motherboard life expectancy. That's especially important for overclockers, according to Gigabyte, since overclocked motherboards might have significantly shorter life spans than their unspoiled brethren. The company says a heavily overclocked motherboard might have a three-month life span, but a Gigabyte board overclocked similarly should last 18 times longer (four and a half years.)"

Gigabyte's X38 boards look promising
"Gigabyte's GA-X38T-DQ6 motherboard with DDR3.

With P35 already out, the next new kid on the block from Intel is its X38, and Computex has it in droves.

We've already reported that Intel used an IHS to cover its silicon, and whether this is aesthetic or simply down to the new, larger 40mm² die size, who knows."
