#17245 Posted on: 11.08.2011 14:46:06 You mention 8 phase power circuitry, are you sure that's not 12? Also, is that an actual creative chip on the board, as opposed to realtek/via chip using X-Fi Codec? Seems a massive oversight not to have tri-sli on a high end board such as this.

Yeah I took that from their website: GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - G1.Sniper2 (rev. 1.0) although I count 12. I will get this confirmed!

#17258 Posted on: 11.08.2011 16:22:38 looks like 12 to me too. 8 seems a little low for a high end gigabyte/intel board
