Gigabyte Goes B3 with Updated 6-Series Motherboards

While MSI and ASUS went the low-profile way with just including the B3 logo on the packaging, Gigabyte have gone the whole hog by renaming their motherboards, including the term B3 in their UEFI/BIOS, displaying it during start up and also showing it off gaudily in the packaging and PCB of the motherboards.

The motherboards have begun shipping out, expect to see them on Indian shores soon.
