Next up on our line-up of previews for the latest Intel based motherboards we find ourselves with another Gigabyte board in our presence. You may have already seen some of the other Gigabyte previews that we've done in the past week including the Gigabyte G1.Sniper M5 which is the Micro-ATX version of what we have today; its big brother, the G1.Sniper 5. The G1.Sniper 5 is part of the G1-Killer series of boards and is one of the top-end boards from Gigabyte with a full ATX form factor and a bundle load of features packed into it, so today gives us the chance to show our readers exactly what this top-spec board is all about. The only issue that we have is that we are of course bound by Intel's NDA which is coming up very soon, and therefore we can't mention anything to do with Intel or their new chipset or 4th generation CPU processors so please bare with us for the upcoming review of this board where we will be unleashing the benchmarks and performance results as well as showing how far this bad boy can go in terms of overclockability. The G1.Sniper 5, just like its little brother incorporates the famous G1-Killer green and black colour scheme that it's been made famous for. A black PCB is at the heart of this board with green accented components including the DIMM slots, PCI-Express lanes and of course the thermal heatsinks which also add some unique features that we've not seen on this range of boards before.
