Bjorn3D takes a look at the Gigabyte EP45-Extreme.

A quote from the article:

Looking for an Enthusiast level board that won't break the bank? Need to satisfy the Enthusiast side of your cravings but have a Motherboard that won't kill your electric bill? How about some 12 phase power regulation for the CPU and 2 phase power for the ram and Energy savings features you wouldn't expect on an Enthusiast board?

How about throwing in a diagnostic panel, and OC, Over Voltage, and Temperature LED indicators? What is that we hear? You want better Chip Set cooling and the ability to migrate to water cooling the Chip Set? Aren't you overlooking an on board Power Switch, Reset Switch, and rear panel CMOS Reset button?

What if you can get all that on a Motherboard, from one of the top manufacturers, and a few more high end features and not break the bank doing it? It'd be a dream come true wouldn't it? Well, you might want to pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming. Gigabyte has heard your cries and felt your pain and answered with the Gigabyte EP45-Extreme board. It sports features and bells and whistles a lot of the more expensive Motherboards have but does it at a reasonable price.
