even though there's still quite a bit of time before in these thread repair availability that have already been a bunch of sightings of the ex tween and motherboards Computex a since asrock and other vendors had boards on display and we can now add gigabyte to the list let's take a closer look at this beast right after message from our sponsor our coffee leg strip is brought to you by fan tech schoolmaster and MSI now even though this may look like a fish start product ready to hit the socials like all of the other X clean online motherboards we have seen so far gigabyte the first product to support aim DS TR for socket is still a work in progress the layout isn't final and actually using the heat sinks from other boards in their AMD and Intel lineups but with that being said let's go over the obvious things that we can decipher from the layout and what we know about the Ripper to begin with these processors we will have up to an incredible 60 PCIe lanes at the disposal plus an additional four from the chipset gigabyte has equipped the oars board with five mechanical 16x slots which are each reinforced against possible flex from heavy graphics cards how these lanes will eventually be divided between the slots remains to be seen but it's possible that up to 48 can be dedicated towards graphics along with other 12 being routed towards onboard connectivity like nvme and USB 3.1 gen2 devices speak if MDOT to this particular board has three slots and all of them support the nvme protocol there's also eight SATA 6 gigabits per second ports since Red River will run on a quad channel memory there are two dim banks for total of eight slots we can also see gigabyte has installed a secondary four pin CPU connector which is likely there to support the current need when overclocking one of these massive processors much like gigabytes other Orr's gaming notebooks this one comes with a complete high-end integrated audio subsystem it has a real tech ELC 1120 Kodak and upgradeable op-amps but there's no word on whether or not the final product will get the full treatment with the ESF sabre deck and other audiophile components the only other thing we can infer from our short time of the X 399 board was at the rear i/o area has eight USB 3.0 ports a single USB 3.1 gen2 type a character and a single USB 3.1 gen2 Tex deport hopefully this won't change before launch since a motherboard of this caliber should receive a few more secret one gen 2 ports it should also be interesting to see how gigabyte allows this board to evolve between now and Amy's official launch the other word we saw was a tiny BP 50 ITX prototype for aim these rising processors which will eventually be called the a B 30 50 n gaming Wi-Fi meter you can see is actually a perfect fit for the rising I t's board since it doesn't give up anything to the xb-70 in terms of functionality in such a small space as usual there's a single TCI x16 slot and space for a pair of memory modules this version will also have an incorporated wireless AC module and should also actually be a pretty competitive overclocker 2 pricing hasn't been set yet and we would expect it to be very affordable and it could become a great platform onto which you can build a solid IP exit system so that wraps up our tour on gigabytes upcoming AMD motherboards and we're sure to see more from them in the near future as usual make sure you stay tuned to the channel for more coverage from copy text 2017 amiibo with Harbor connects thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
