Specifikationer
 

Gigabyte har udstyret bundkortet med en række ganske fine egenskaber. Det er især i overclocking afdelingen, hvor der er gjort lidt ekstra ud af det. Kraftig strømforsyning, og en række ekstra programmer der kan hjælpe dig med et ydelsesboost, herunder Gigabytes eget Easytune 6. Der er mulighed for at køre med tre PCIe 2.0 grafikkort, både i SLI (nvidia) eller CrossfireX (ATi/AMD). Det er med andre ord en feature og et bundkort rettet mod de ekstreme brugere. Til at klare strømbelastningen har Gigabyte udviklet deres Ultra Durable 3 teknik, der tilføjer ekstra kraftige kobberbaner på de kritiske steder.

En af de ting der for alvor hæver kortet op over pøblen, er muligheden for vandkøling af nordbroen. Dette hæver desværre også samtidig prisen.

Her er lidt fra Gigabytes egens hjemside.

 

Get Ready to Unleash the Power of 32nm 6 Core CPUs
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.
 
 
Intel® Core™ i7 Processor and X58 Chipset support


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.
 
 
Multi-display support with 3 way CrossFireX and 3 way SLI™
Flexible graphics capabilities - Up to 3 VGA cards are supported for either 3 way CrossFireX™ or 3 way SLI™ action, delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution.
 
 
Ultra Durable 3


GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 design, featuring 2 ounces of copper for both the Power and Ground layers which dramatically lowers system temperature by delivering a more efficient spreading of heat from critical areas of the motherboard such as the CPU power zone throughout the entire PCB. GIGABYTE's Ultra Durable 3 also lowers the PCB impedance by 50%, which helps to reduce electrical waste and further lowers component temperatures. A 2oz Copper layer design also provides improved signal quality and lower EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), providing better system stability and allowing for greater margins for overclocking...more
 
 
Benefits of 2 oz Copper PCB
• Cooler than traditional motherboards
• Enhanced durability
• Improved energy efficiency
• Greater margins for overclocking...more
 
 
2X Lower Impedance


In addition, doubling the amount of copper lowers the PCB impedance by 50%. Impedance is a measure of how much the circuit impedes the flow of current. The less the flow of current is impeded, the less amount of energy is wasted. For GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 motherboards, this means total PCB electrical waste is reduced by 50%, which also means less heat is generated. 2 ounces of copper also provides improved signal quality, providing better system stability and allowing for greater margins for overclocking.

Som i ser , er den fuldt med spændene specs, og jeg vil lige fremhæve et par stykker: On/Off Charge USB port, som bruges som en oplader til din Ipad eller mobil og fungerer selv i hybernate mode eller ved en slukket pc.

GIGABYTE Cloud OC er en overclocking applikation, som kan bruges til at overclocke med  gennem en web browser. Dvs. via en smart phone, iPad, iPhone, Netbook eller notebook PC. Den forbinder igennem wireless Internet, Bluetooth eller et ethernet kabel.                                                                                                                

XHD (eXtreme HardDrive) er en feature hvor Gigabyte siger at man kan forbedre harddisk-ydelsen let, blot ved at tilføje en ekstra harddisk.

Godt review, men mangler noget om mere OC. Det er lidt synd når nu det er et OC bundkort.

Trykker lieg på en enig knap. Der bliver lagt ud med en masse om en OC master, og så bliver selve OC afsnittet skippet for hårdt. Det duer ikke. Men ellers fint

Med dette board? Ville være fint, når man nu selv var heldigt at købe et demokort til 600 kr under normalpris.

Et meget godt review, men synes dette produkt efterhånden er et år gammelt. Kunne ha' været mere aktuelt at teste det nyere UD9 i stedet.... 🙂

UD7 er det bundkort flest folk køre med så testen er sådan set fin nok 🙂

UD9 bundkortet kommer næsten ingen folk i nærheden af da det er så dyrt.

Jeg syns det lidt synd at man vælger en skribent der skal teste highend motherboards og så ikke udstyret er helt iorden. ( no offence )

edit nu så jeg så hvem det var der havde skrevet testen og trækker det LIDT i mig igen. Havde stadig forventet ordenlig køling fra THE MASTER og et oc afsnit udover det sædvanelige :)

Svaret blev redigeret 1 gang, sidst af DetIkkeVidereVilde d. 19-09-2010 21:02:42.

Jeg kan selv svar på det, vi må jo ikke, altid test med alle verdens køling, da der også er stor risiko at mb ikke overlever. Ofte skal hardwaren sendes tilbage, så andre sites tester det også. Og toris eller Ln2 er heller ikke gratis 🙂

Fint review, har selv kortet, det bedste jeg har haft til dato, har haft det siden marts sidste år, det er virkelig lækkert 🙂
