GB is one of the most well familiar CPU board producers in the world. Similar to many of its competitors its products cover a broad rate of cost points and market segments. Gigabyte still manufactures other kinds of computer components such as cases and graphics boards. However, it is CPU boards that Gigabyte is commonly familiar excellent for.


Following GB's distinctive calling pattern, the suffix of "UD5" shows that the board is mid-rate in the enthusiast example lineup. A "UD3" would be more of a budget pointed extending when a "UD7" would be high a higher end answer. Contempt being more or without a mid-rate board, being an LGA2011 board creates this a high end platform to start with as entire LGA2011 central processing units are hex cores at this point in time.


And again, Contempt being a mid-range LGA2011 board, the characteristics list on the X79-UD5 is pretty effective. The board supports CrossFireX as good as SLI, 3-Way SLI, and PCI-Express 3.0. It still supports SATA 6G and Universal Serial Bus 3.0. This is no thanks to Intel’s lackluster support for this on the chip set side. The chip set supports just 2 SATA 6G machines and Universal Serial Bus 3.0 support is provided by a third party chip as usual.

Similar to others in the market, GB has its own list of singular characteristics which may or may not actually be entire that unique, but are given catchy names which are unique to the company’s products. GB just has its "3D Power" characteristics which is digital control over the power phases of the board. In this case 3D concerns to the 2 adjusts of memory channels and the central processing unit power phases.


At least this is what I was capable to decipher from the marketing speak on the Gigabyte product page for the X79-UDFive. Another nice name is the "DualBIOS" which is not actually singular to GB, but is attributed a catchy name on GB boards.


This obviously concerning to the double BIOS ROMs on the CPU board furnishing the enthusiast with few redundancy should they require to recover from a bad BIOS flash or easily love to switch over to the other one for a variety of conclusion ranging from option circumstance to still option versions of the BIOS itself.


Additional GB has its ON/OFF load characteristics for loading for your phone still if the PC is provided down. The edition of the Gigabyte X79-UD Five we got also arrive with a WiFi card and Bluetooth 4.0 support. At last this is one of Gigabyte’s "Ultra Durable 3" CPU boards with a 2x copper PCB. The board therefore utilizes entire Japanese solid-electrolytic capacitors, lower RDS MOSFETs, and Ferrite core chokes.


The GB X79-UDFive arrives in a white box with black content on it and contempt being bigger than cheaper board packaging tends to be, it is fairly much standard fare for CPU board shipping. Our board came with entire its accessories intact and harm free. Our PCB was observed "Rev 1.0."
