GIGABYTE G1.Assassin 2 (Intel X79) Motherboard Review

  When Z68 launched we saw GIGABYTE bring the G1 series back in the form of the GIGABYTE G1.Sniper 2; it offered everything you’d want from a board that was focused on the gaming market. I liked the board so much that it made its way into my own system paired with a 2600k and HD 6990. The Killer E2100 NIC while I feel is probably just as good as an Intel one is a really nice addition, but the onboard X-Fi audio is a real stand out for me, along with the Matte Black PCB.

Jump forward a few more months, though, with the launch of the X79 chipset and we saw that GIGABYTE was getting on the G1 bandwagon straight away. Last week we managed to preview the new GIGABYTE G1.Assassin 2, but today we get to really see what the new board is about in our full review. Because we’ve already previewed the board, we’ve had the opportunity to cover almost every aspect of the board already. Really, the only thing we’ve missed is the PCIe specifications when it comes to the expansion slots.
