When the Gigabyte board first landed on my doorstep, I was amazed at the size of the package. I was eager to rip the box open to see what Gigabyte had included with the board and I was not disappointed. The board is smothered in copper and with the addit...
Superb overclocker, Cool temperatures despite passive cooling, Power efficiency is fantastic, Northbridge can utilize extra cooling with add-in card and/or water-cooling, Solid board layout,
BIOS can be a bit clunky, Price could be a tad better, but its great if a mail-in-rebate is taken advantage of.
When all said and done, Gigabytes EP45-EXTREME is a great board that offers a lot for everybody. Its not the least expensive out there (at ~$245, but lower with some MIRs), but its a high-quality offering that allows very high stable overclocks an...

The EP45-Extreme came out of the box and it was a love at first Geekgasm type of thing. Before we even got it into the case we found ourselves scrambling for our best hardware and quickly had a pile of parts we wanted to try out on the board. We enjoy...
The EP45-Extreme is filled with so many features and options that it should keep any overclocker entertained for a long time. Gigabyte used the excellent P45 chipset to put together an impressive product that features the Hybrid Silent Pipe cooling sy...
In today’s market it’s getting harder and harder to choose a motherboard. Back about five years ago overclocking was king and companies like ASUS and ABIT had the market cornered. Today overclocking still holds its allure, but just about every...
Motherboard layout (long video cards cover two SATA ports)...
Overall, I would have to say that the limited edition Gigabyte EP-45 Extreme is the best motherboard that Ive ever used for overclocking. The BIOS was simple to navigate, and Gigabytes Dual BIOS technology really gives the user some peace of mind kn...
