"Impressive overclocking abilities with both dual and quad core processors, check, excellent stability and compatibility, check, feature laden layout and software package, absolutely, and technical support assistance that actually addressed our problems, double check.The
performance of this board was consistently at or near
the top of our benchmarks and ultimately offered the
best overall value we have seen in this market segment.There
is no perfect motherboard, but the GA-EP45-UD3P comes
just about as close to it as possible for its intended
market.

"Has
redesigned the PCB giving a touch more striking and elegant,
something that it is appreciated, especially those who
love modding, but not everything is there, the quality
of materials used and the performance it offers is something
that makes this motherboard is a GIGABYTE EP45-UD3P really
interesting product. The extras included and all connections
including the back panel makes this board has no connection
limits, to name something that other boards do not usually
carry is 8 SATAS."

"The
memory slots are in a decent location, though you'll
have to remove your graphics card to install modules.Comparing
the wPrime 32M result of this board to the GIGABYTE
EP45-DS3R, we see a decrease in time taken by 4.431
seconds, and increase of 8.38 per cent performance
gain at stock settings!These increses are quite astounding
for a simple doucling of the thinkness- very impressive.As
we've already alluded in the title, this board has
something special about it--twice as much copper
as normal boards. As part of the Ultra Durable 3
scheme, the copper layers in this board are twice
as thick as the standard in most boards. Apart from
making it sturdy enough to snowboard with.BIOS options
are very good. All these would be for nought, however,
if performance wasn't up to scratch. The good thing...it
is, and more." |

"DDR3 can give better performance compared to DDR2 but the difference is not that big. It can also give better over clocking capability, especially on high frequences. In this test DDR2-model from GIGABYTE got better overclocking test score so we recommend DDR2 model from GIGABYTE in stead of DDR3." |

"600 MHz FSB is something we have only achived once before, and this timearound it wasn't even the limit, as we managed to boot and perform a SuperPI 1M at astonishing 640 MHz FSB, which once again bares witness to this board as being in a class of it's own, raised high above the vast majority of boards sold today as overclockingboards.A quick copy/paste from EDBpriser.dk tells us that the board can be purchased for DKK 1101,- This is, as before mentioned, in the same pricerange as Biostars P45 T-power, and therefore Gigabytes EP45-UD3P deserves the same honor, in form of a topscore." |

without any overclocking the board performs exceptionally
well with PCMark05 score of 8794, just shy of the
9000 points.A great performance board with better
durability that can take even more punishment.Overall,
the EP45-UD3P is a very good and very tough motherboard
for the beginnier and intermediate users." |

"We managed to hit a stable 480MHz for the FSB in our overclocking attempt. That is quite a decent amount.From our temperature tests of the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P at load, the Northbridge cooler measured at around 33 degrees Celsius while the small cooler on the Southbridge had a higher reading of 40 degrees Celsius. This was conducted in our air-conditioned environment that hovers about 21 degrees Celsius. Other P45 motherboards that we have temperature readings are the MSI P45D3 Platinum at around 36.5 degrees while the ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe came in at 37 degrees." |

"GIGABYTE
has four models of P45 motherboards enhanced with
UD3 at the moment, two are DDR3 and the other two
are DDR2 models. As for the difference between the
two (using the same memory type), it appears that
the UD3P version that we received has 1 more Gigabit
LAN port and more importantly, 2 PCIe x16 slots for
CrossFire compared to the UD3R model.So it's with
great interest that we examine another new development
in this competitive segment. Gigabyte's Ultra
Durable 'umbrella' of features will see an addition
- the company is doubling the amount of copper in
the PCB. The hence renamed Ultra Durable 3 (UD3)
will lead to a cooler motherboard and greater power
efficiency." |

"If there was one aspect that seemed to be better than usual, it was that our overclocking experience showed that the maximum FSB achieved on the Gigabyte to be on par and slightly better than the high-end boards we had tested previously.Its recent successes, including the introduction of solid capacitors on its motherboards and its Dynamic Energy Saver technology for active phase power management have been taken up by other vendors and consolidated Gigabyte's status in the market." |

"With this EP45-UD3P, GIGABYTE proposes here a board with many improvements with UD3 innovation launch. BIOS is extremly stable & performant, with a pricing below 140e and with an extremly complete connectors panel, the board is now a must and can compete with most of competitors high end references. During our review we really noted efficiency of new GIGABYTE cooling design, UD3 technology perfectly take over UD2, we are very glad to know that X58 board will support it ! " |

We noted real Watt inficiency , it is definitly worth
the try as GBT solution is the board offering best
efficiency and lower power consumption after comparing
with competitors products.Overclocking & performance can be associated to Quick which helps to receive easy management and data treatment, UD3P confirms to be a great board for gaming and productivity work." |

"Conclusion. No doubt this new motherboard from GIGABYTE launches the brand to a new level both in performance and in performance. This board is fresh, it is really efficient and allows outstanding overclocking results having or not experience in such techniques. Overclocking is easy, it's easy if you have a BIOS like this, and the results are simply spectacular.Such products make overclocking regain the meanings of making easy access to higher performance to any type of processor without any great knowledge, without expending lot of money (around 130 -- 150 €) and with total assurance that our components are in the best hands." |

"With overclockig that matches the EP45-Extreme, cooler running and quite possibly a lower price tag, this board has it all. We have no hestitation in giving this the seal of approval.Here is where we see a change; the UD3P manages to drop heat on the NB, SB and Mosfets by a bit, but it’s not here that the real benefits are. The PCB temps are supposed to drop with UD3, but we couldn’t really test that as we don’t have an IR camera to test this out. However, we were greeted with lower motherboard temps according to the software utility in windows. How accurate they are is left to you, but a 10 degree drop was registered." |

"Ultra Durable 3 design, features PCB components and works well, using 2oz copper in the motherboard PCB inner layer, reduces motherboard's operating temperatures, raises the overclocking potential and the signal stability. As for overclocking, built in BIOS settings are quite rich and overclocking ability is very good. Quality components and specifications are a big selling point, 6 phase power supply design; all Japanese capacitors and the durability are excellent. Supports TPM data encryption module, to ensure user's data is securely protected, it has an all-round complete functionality.

"Our
overall experience with the board from the fuss-free
installation and BIOS update to the testing and overclocking,
was generally positive. Traditionally, motherboard
PCBs come with 1 ounce of copper per square foot of
PCB. GIGABYTE has doubled this to 2 ounces. This is
supposed to improve power efficiency by reducing circuit
impedance and improve heat dissipation within the PCB. " |
