| At a first glance we were surprised that the Gigabyte GA-7PESH1 comes with quite a nice color scheme. We really wouldn't have expected this from a workstation motherbooard. Furhtermore it was possible to install large CPU coolers, which is really usfull if you want to build a high-end workstation that operates at low noise level. Another nice addition is the LSI RAID Controller which is capable of managing up to twelve drives. Therefore it is also worth mentioning that the RAID Controller has been connected via eight lanes. Like there there should be plenty of bandwidth. | - Design - LSI RAID Controller - Spacious around CPU Sockets |

Looking at the DIMM slots showed that they have been placed very close to the CPU sockets. Like this Gigabyte has been able to save some space which they needed because of the expansion slots. In fact there is a good mix. What you get is two PCI Express x16 Gen3 slots, two PCI Express x8 Gen3 slots as well as another PCI Express x4 Gen2 slot. If you for example want to install a high performance PCI Express SSD then you'll be happy about the PCI Express x8 Gen3 Slots. |
