Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Based on Intel's highest end X58 chipset, the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 offers a wide range of premium features tailor-made for PC enthusiasts who believe more is never enough. The latest monster performance GA-X58A-UD7 motherboard, featuring a revolutionary new 16 phase Unlocked Power design, 3-way graphics support including Nvidia SLI and ATI CrossFireX, as well as a host of unique GIGABYTE features including 333 Onboard Acceleration and On/Off Charge. Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 motherboards also leverage the success of Gigabyte’s uniquely developed technologies including the Gigabyte Ultra Durable 3 design, which features 2x the amount of copper of a traditional PCB design, as well as the innovative Smart6 PC management tools, On/Off Charge for quick anytime iphone charging, Dynamic Energy Saver 2 power saving utilities, and DualBIOS technologies.

Gigabyte's entire line of X58-based motherboards are ready to support the new generation of Intel 32nm 6-core processors, delivering the very best platform for multitasking, multimedia and high performance gaming.

The GA-X58A-UD7 was designed specifically to take advantage of the raw power of the next generation Intel Core i7 processors and the Intel X58 Express chipset, whose new evolution in computing architecture is able to deliver an amazing performance break through from past processor generations. Replacing the Front Side Bus is the new Quick Path Interconnect, or QPI, whose 25.6 GB/sec transfer rates (double the bandwidth of the 1600MHz FSB) eliminates the communication bottleneck between the processor and chipset.

The industry's first Dual Power Switching design for delivering better durability and longer component lifespan. When Dual Power Switching is activated, 2 sets of 8 power phases operate in tandem, automatically turning on one set of 8 phases and powering down the other 8, allowing the non active set to rest. Dual Power Switching ensures that each set of phases share the power workload, effectively doubling the lifespan of the phases.

When CPU loading requires more than 8 phases to be active, the full 16 power phases are unlocked, allowing for maximum power delivery. For overclockers and power users, this means during maximum loading, all 16 power phases can be activated; ensuring users have the maximum power delivery and maximum durability and power efficiency.

Gigabyte On/Off Charge technology that enables faster iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch charging. A derivative of Gigabyte's highly acclaimed 3x USB Power feature, On/Off Charge technology allows iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices to draw more current from Gigabyte motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow, with the added benefit that the PC can be on, in standby mode or even off.

The Gigabyte X58A series motherboards support the latest generation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through an onboard NEC uPD720200 host controller. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience an almost a 10x improvement over USB 2.0. Additionally, backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 assures users of long term use of their legacy USB 2.0 devices. The onboard NEC SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology also provides new power management features that include increased maximum bus power and device current draw to better accommodate power-hungry devices.

NEWB 29 Aug 2011
I built my FIRST computer using this motherboard, imitating the components of an ALIENWARE computer.

I am impressed by the dual bios and thickness of this motherboard.

Youtube this motherboard prior to purchasing it to see if it what you want AND buy the correct CPU for this socket! (unlike i did first time round :) )

Newb!

A rare Board 17 April 2011
I tried for ages to get this board, the UD7 was the best of the best.
But where ever I went it didn't seem to actually be on sale anywhere,
I'd ended up gong for the UD5 which had no real difference that I could see,
Comparing them statistically there was a hairs bredth between them.

GO FOR UD5!! It won't let you down,
