Best year 2008

PC Magazine / Russia / 2009.Mar.
"Following interfaces such as PCI-E 2.0, SATA (8 pcs), USB 2.0, FireWire (3 pcs) realized in this MB. GIGABYTE patented technology such as cooling system with silent pipes, DES advanced and Ultra Durable 3 are realized in this MB. Intel Enhanced SpeedStep + DES advance provides min noisy level and low power consumption "
 
     
 
Best Performance
Hard'n'Soft / Russia / 2009.Feb.
"It is newest MB from GIGABYTE. Patented newest GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 technology is realized in this MB. It provides better heat sink (cooler for 50C) and stable work with overclocking PC of end users. It is not hi-end product (no support for CrossFire because of 1 PCI-e), but has a lot of features, such ad DES advanced technology. MB supports old Intel CPUs. It is ideal model for upgrade PC workstation"

"Since the DS3R now retails for almost an identical price to this and it was between the two: it's better cooled, better performing in our benchmarks and lower power."
 
     
 
Top 5 Award
PC Magazine / Russia / 2008.Nov.
"Stable work of GA-EP45-UD3R MB in all period of life supply by newest technology Ultra Durable 3 and qualitative components produced in Japan. Results of tests show wide possibilities of MB: SYSmark 2007 (version Preview, rev 1.04.670) – 172 balls, best results of tested by PC Magazine MBs of middle-end class before. The nice balanced product is real competitor of MBs based on Intel X48 Extreme or NVIDIA nForce 780i and with reasonable price."
