  • 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.
  • Introduction
    Based on the Intel® X58 chipset, the GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5 delivers all the killer next generation features that gaming enthusiasts and power users have been waiting for including GIGABYTE's 333 Onboard Acceleration features with support for USB 3.0, Serial-ATA Revision 3.0 (6Gbps) and a 3x USB Power Boost, as well as multi-GPU support for NVIDIA 3-Way SLI™ and ATI CrossFireX™ and support for Intel's high performance processors offering a high level of future CPU headroom for users wanting to maintain cutting-edge levels of performance. With the memory controller integrated directly into the processor die, the GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5 also supports triple channel DDR3 memory for blazing fast memory performance.
  • Intel® Core™ i7 Processor and X58 Chipset support


    The GA-X58A-UD5 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.
  • USB 3.0 Support
    The GIGABYTE motherboards support the latest generation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through an onboard USB 3.0 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 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.

    * USB 3.0 10x performance is a maximum theoretical value. Actual performance may vary by system configuration.
  • SATA 6 Gbps Support
    Yet another onboard feature of GIGABYTE motherboards are Marvell's SE9128 chips for high-speed SATA Revision 3.0 compatibility, delivering superfast 6Gbps link speeds for twice the data transfer rates of SATA Revision 2.0 (3 Gbps). When used in RAID 0 (Stripe) mode, GIGABYTE motherboards offer even faster data transfer rates of up to 4x the speed of current SATA interfaces.

    * SATA3 RAID 0 4x and SATA3 2x performance are maximum theoretical values. Actual performance may vary by system configuration.
    * SATA3 SSDs are not recommended for use in RAID 0 mode on Marvell SE9128 ports.
  • 3x USB Power Boost
    Plăcile de bază GIGABYTE permit o creștere a puterii de 3x pe porturile USB, oferind o mai mare compatibilitate și mai multă putere pentru echipamentele USB. Design-ul unic de alimentare USB de la GIGABYTE este de asemenea capabil să regularizeze eficient ieșirea pe toată gama de tensiuni, ce îmbunătățește și mai mult compatibilitatea cu echipamentele USB. În plus, siguranțele dedicate cu rezistență scăzută asigură căderi mai mici de tensiune și permit o livrare de energie mai stabilă și mai puternică.


    (notă) Doar porturile USB frontale suportă 3X USB Power.

  • Hotkey OC
    GIGABYTE Hotkey OC allows users to create and save various profiles that can be adopted for different benchmarks. Hotkey OC then allows users to jump between these profiles on the fly so that the best profile for each segment within the benchmark can be used to optimize scores and boost overall performance. So, for example, when running 3DMark 06 the 1st profile might be optimized for graphics and can be used for the first two graphics tests, then the next two tests can utilize the 2nd profile which might be optimized for CPU tests, and one could jump back to the 1st profile again for the final two graphics (shader) tests...more
