X79-ud3 motherboard

Up until this point, Gigabyte had not released a graphical BIOS for any recent consumer level chipset, if at all. One of the major criticisms of most reviews at the launch of P67 and Sandy Bridge was that while some x79-ud3 motherboard had embraced the zeitgeist of the graphical interface, Gigabyte hadn't, citing that using the old style suited a lot of their customers, x79-ud3 motherboard, and they were able to retain stability of a mature design.

Over the years, Gigabyte has given us some interesting products. More recently in the past 18 months, Rajinder gave their H55N-USB3 motherboard a well deserved recommendation, and more recently, I have scrutinized their Sandy Bridge range. For X79, Gigabyte is uncharacteristically launching only a few motherboards, of which we are looking at their cheapest model, the XUD3. We are also for the first time introduced to what Gigabyte believe should be a graphical BIOS compared to their competitors. Read on for the full review.

GA-XUD3 rev. Digital memory control allows users to monitor and record DDR power and current in real-time while gaming, overclocking or at idle. Users can also set OVP Over Voltage Protection to safeguard your memory, adjust memory Load-line Calibration to fix memory vdrooping for a quicker response time and adjust memory PWM frequency on-the-fly. Users can now enjoy a fully interactive 3D utility that facilitates adjustment of the 3 dimensions that control the power delivery to your CPU and Memory: Voltage, Phase and Frequency. These parameters are crucial to how the digital PWM supplies power to critical areas of the motherboard and can help users quickly obtain the highest, most stable overclock. By adjusting load line calibration, Vdrooping can be avoided, maintaining optimal voltages levels despite increasing current levels. This allows the Phase control to deliver even more power to the system when needed. Users can also adjust the PWM spectrum or maximum and minimum overall frequencies. Offering unrivalled memory performance with incredible potential data bandwidth, GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards give you the ultimate performance for today's memory-intensive applications. Providing 4 PCI Express 3. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure lower voltage drops, and provide more stable and plentiful power delivery. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience a theoretical 10x improvement over USB 2.

Overall, we could consider this review in two ways.

We are also for the first time introduced to what Gigabyte believe should be a graphical BIOS compared to their competitors. Read on for the full review. Typically we see Gigabyte jump at the more esoteric features of a chipset, always willing to take advantage of newer features, but sometimes at the expense of the in-the-box package or memory compatibility. It is hard to have a unique overview on the UD3, especially if we compare it to other boards on the market. Overall, we could consider this review in two ways. Or two, in terms of my experience with the board, which wasn't the most positive experience. I initially had memory problems which required another memory kit, which worked fine the first time to get results, then not any other subsequent time, suggesting a BIOS update will be needed for memory compatibility.

With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience a theoretical 10x improvement over USB 2. Or two, in terms of my experience with the board, which wasn't the most positive experience. So for example, if the mouse was moved over the CPU socket, the socket and VRM would turn blue, a little description comes up, and when this is clicked, a screen showing the most obvious BIOS values which can be adjusted. For the XUD3, overclocking was a little hit and miss. Overview It is hard to have a unique overview on the UD3, especially if we compare it to other boards on the market. Users can also adjust the PWM spectrum or maximum and minimum overall frequencies. We are also for the first time introduced to what Gigabyte believe should be a graphical BIOS compared to their competitors.

I tried various combinations, to no avail. The '3D' board and the menus are all navigable with the keyboard as well, although in 3D mode, the F10 button to save and exit does not do anything, and you will have to navigate to 'Save and Exit' to exit. Actual performance may vary by system configuration. The fact that other manufacturers can provide a full range of ramping and selections could either lay at Gigabyte's lack of integration with the fan controllers, or simply they use slightly cheaper ones than some of their competitors. These parameters are crucial to how the digital PWM supplies power to critical areas of the motherboard and can help users quickly obtain the highest, most stable overclock.

Visual Inspection This first image of the board is one I pulled directly from the Gigabyte website - a schematic of the XUD3 indicating various features. The PCIe layout is as simple as can be, with from the top an x16, x1, x8, x1, x16, x1, x8 - when the bottom x8 is populated, the second x16 reduces to x8, as these slots are multiplexed. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience a theoretical 10x improvement over USB 2. Additionally, backwards compatibility with USB 2. This first image of the board is one I pulled directly from the Gigabyte website - a schematic of the XUD3 indicating various features. GA-XUD3 rev. On the 4. Gigabyte's large but low profile negates the need for this, however it does get a tad warm to touch during high throughput scenarios. Terms of Use. Actual performance may vary by system configuration. Normally on some of the higher end boards, we see this heatsink attached to another heatsink via a heatpipe. Log in Don't have an account? These two ports are ideal to fit in some more drives at the bottom of a case, for example when the SSD is bolted to the bottom rather than the mechanical HDDs which could be to the side. As an added bonus, it can even be charged when your PC is turned off, so even if you forget to plug it into your charger after you've synced up your music, it will be fully charged when you need it. Let us go through them one by one.
