GIGABYTE has posted up a picture of their upcoming Z79A-UD13 Motherboard with 8-way SLI. It looks like this board features the Intel LGA2011 socket, has 14 SATA III headers thanks to seven Marvell controllers and can handle 8-way SLI/CrossFire. It looks like you’ll have to run this motherboard without a case though as none are available for this XXXXL-ATX motherboard.
