Gigabyte GA-EX58-Extreme LGA 1366 i7 Motherboard Review
Now that the champagne has been uncorked on the the LGA 1156, we can continue to show some love to what originally brought Intel all the acclaim and accolades they received before the new LGA 1156 CPUs arrived -- the LGA 1366 i7 processors and X58 chipset.
