Gigabyte Ultra Durable 5 – Computex 2012

Posted on June 8, 2012 by Peter du Preez
gigabyte_ud5

The main benefit of ultra durable 5 is that the motherboards run a lot cooler, while allowing for high current flow. The demo showed the different loads under overclocked conditions which are particularly applicable to water cooling situations, where low airflow can cause a heat buildup in the MOSFET region, but on a motherboard running with Ultra Durable 5 parameters and the new power stages will run a lot cooler and thus enhance the lifespan of the product.
The GA-Z77X-UP7 motherboard is quite pricey because of these high-end features, but in the end you get what you pay for, and OC enthusiasts will crave these spec’s.
