Gigabyte Assassin 2 @ LanOC Reviews

When it comes to great motherboards that are designed to be fast gaming powerhouses you have look at the G1 Killer line from Gigabyte.  These boards feature a military theme and replace the sound and network PHY chips with high quality replacements from Creative and Killer that not only offload valuable CPU cycles but also make your games faster.

It seems almost like it was yesterday when I took a close look at Gigabytes Assassin, flagship motherboard on the X58 chipset. Here we are less than a year later with a new chipset and socket available. That means it’s time once again to take a look at Gigabyte’s flagship gaming motherboard, the Assassin 2 X79. With a lower price point, smaller form factor, and all of the features of the original we loved the Assassin 2 should be a great board. Of course we won’t know that for sure until we dig in a little farther, so let’s jump in! 

X79 is the new performance king when it comes to workstation class hardware and does a pretty good job at playing games too.
