Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 LGA 2011 EATX Motherboard Review

news · March 27, 2012

We are still making our way through an avalanche of X79 motherboards

on our test bench that leverages the power of Sandy Bridge-E CPUs, but

we didn't want to wait any longer on powering up Gigabyte's GA-X79-UD5

extended ATX motherboard. Gigabyte has really stepped up their game by

offering optimized LGA 2011 for no-nonsense PC builders, hardware

enthusiasts, serious overclockers, and even FPS/RPG PC gamers. Our

review of the X79-UD5 is going to evaluate every aspect of the board's

ability to handle automatic and manual overclocking, DX10/DX11 gaming,

and other synthetic and real-world benchmarks.

Quote: "This is the second X79-based motherboard I've evaluated, and

this platform continues to impress me with solid gaming and overall

performance results. The upgraded 3D BIOS was a pleasure to use after

I played with the UEFI a bit to find out where all the overclocking

options were located. I also had to learn to use the roll-over

functions on the main 3D BIOS screen because I didn't notice how they

worked when I initially entered the BIOS."

Thanks for a post!!
