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.

Gigabyte Intel Z68 and AMD 900 motherboards @ Computex 2011

Posted on June 27, 2011 by admin

The Intel Z68 format allows transcoding from your tablet or smart phone, to assist with CPU intensive tasks that can be shared. In addition, the board supports Lucid virtue technology allowing both discrete and integrated graphics to enhance one another, and to save power, you may turn off the discrete card as needed. In addition, Gigabyte have added in a micro-SSD slot for MSATA – which supports Intels smart response technology where a small capacity SSD drive can act essentially as a L4 cache, giving a system wide performance boost. The AMD 900 platform enables on-CPU enabled graphics for Direct X 11 support and ensures support for Crossfire or SLI as well as Bulldozer 8 core CPUs when they launch.
