Unique heatsink design, SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3.0, Bigfoot Networks Killer E2100 NIC
Expensive, Aging platform
The market for X58 motherboards is filled with mature products that have been available for some time. There are lots of options for those who want to upgrade their current platform. ASRock sells a board starting at $154, and every major company offers ba...

In a market where almost every X58 motherboard is the same Gigabyte was able to make the G1 Assassin stand out in a crowd. Their attention to detail with the cooling system puts the entire G1 Killer series of motherboards into a class of their own. Wit...

Price, XL-ATX form factor, No clear CMOS button
When the G1 Killer motherboards were announced, I was very excited, and to me they were one of the standout things I saw at CES this year. We really have not seen that many gaming motherboards that truly have everything a gamer needs. The G1 Assassin...
