Gigabyte GA-X79-UD7 Socket LGA2011 Motherboard

Introduction

GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards are designed to unite unrivalled desktop PC performance with a new level of flexibility and hardware control. Based on the latest Intel^® X79 Express Chipset, supporting the new LGA 2011 Intel^® Core™ i7 processors, GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards bring DIY builders to a new area of performance-oriented computing.

GIGABYTE 3D Power (patent pending)

GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards are the first to take advantage of the exclusive GIGABYTE 3D Power, an all new hardware and software-based Digital Power Engine for both the PWM and Memory that delivers unprecedented power

4 Channel Memory Architecture

With a potential data bandwidth of up to 25GB/Sec and 256 Bits memory addressing, the Intel^® X79 platform offers unrivalled memory performance. GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards give you the ultimate performance for today's memory-intensive applications.

OC-VRM

The GIGABYTE X79 OC-VRM allows you to overclock the CPU PWM in real-time. The GIGABYTE X79-UD7 is powered by a 16-phase power VRM via two 8-pin molex power connectors. Up to 1,500 Watts of power can be delivered to the CPU if needed for extreme overclocking and ultimate performance levels. The GIGABYTE X79-UD7 also features a unique POScap and PowerPAK MOSFET design that makes VRM insulation for extreme overclocking much easier than on traditional designs, while delivering faster power transfers and low temperatures. The GIGABYTE OC VRM is designed specifically for pursing the ultimate CPU performance, with low temperatures, great power stability and instant power feedback – ideal for breaking world records on Intel^® Core™ i7 processors.

OC-Touch

OC-Touch enables Overclockers to quickly and easily get the best performance from their system. Onboard OC-Touch buttons allow Overclockers to manually adjust the CPU ratio, BCLK settings as well as adjustments to the BCLK stepping ratio, to either 1MHz or 0.1MHz increments. These changes can be made in real-time, whether in BIOS, DOS, or Windows^® without the need for rebooting, so that users can quickly fine-tune their system and find their CPU’s maximum frequency. A unique back-panel OC button allows novice Overclockers to automatically load a predetermined overclock configuration before continuing with OC-Touch to quickly find their CPU's best margin. Onboard voltage measurement modules are also included to help users to conveniently monitor individual component voltages.
