The G1.Assassin is the most high-end socket 1366 motherboard from the Gigabyte series "G1-Killer," which has a "gun-like" design and is aimed at gamer enthusiast users. It has eight SATA ports (six SATA-300 and two SATA-600), eight USB 3.0 ports, six m...

The Gigabyte G1.Assassin may be classified as a "wow" motherboard. It could be a "simple" high-end socket 1366 motherboard, just because it has six memory slots, a high-end voltage regulator, four PCI Express x16 slots, support for SLI and CrossFireX a...

If you try to please everyone with a product, then you won’t please anyone at all. And that seems to be the case with many motherboards on the market. Boards that combine gaming stability with features that overclockers want end up with an identity cri...

It’s not surprising to see the GIGABYTE G1 Killer Assassin perform similarly to their own X58A-UD5 motherboards in many respects. They share quite a bit of engineering right down to the 16-Phase power. However, the Assassin overclocks just a little eas...

With the LGA1366 socket being relatively old compared to it's LGA115x siblings, the X58 boards have been a little thinner on the ground as manufacturers have brought us P55 and then P67 based motherboards.We've seen a few minor revisions to include som...
