| The EX58-UD3R is the latest X58 Series motherboards of GIGABYTE,
designed from the ground up to unleash the awesome power of Intel's new Core i7
processors. Equipped with a host of new features including the new QPI
interface, 3 channel DDR3 support, SLI™ and CrossFireX™ support support, Ultra
Durable 3 (Classic) technology and the industry's most extensive range of
overclocking features, the EX58-UD3R is bringing excitement back into the high
performance motherboard industry.

Core™ i7 Processor and X58 Chipset support
The EX58-UD3R 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 rate (double the bandwidth of the 1600MHz FSB) eliminates
the communication bottleneck between the processor and chipset.
The
Intel® Core i7 processors also feature an integrated memory
controller inside the processor die and support 192bit 3-channel DDR3 memory
that delivers a 50% memory bandwidth enhancement and lower memory latency for
incredibly fast memory access. Additionally, The EX58-UD3R features
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, which is able to power down idle
processor cores and dynamically reroute the power to the active cores for
significant performance boosts, and at the same time, maintain greater energy
efficiency. |

7 WHQL Certified
The motherboard has obtained WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality
Labs) certification for Windows 7 from Microsoft® for an
Intel-based motherboard, setting the standard for future Windows 7 certified
motherboards... more |

 | | Integrated
Memory Controller
Intel® Core™ i7 Processors feature triple
channel DDR3 support
Intel Core™ i7 processors feature the memory controller
integrated directly into the processor die, rather than as part of the
Northbridge as in previous generations, allowing for faster memory performance.
Core™ i7 processors also provide additional memory support
including. |

 | | QPI
, QuickPath Interconnect
Replacing the role of FSB
Intel uses the
QPI to connect internal components of Core™ i7 processors , and to connect the
CPU itself to the Northbridge and banks of memory.
QPI delivers:
Up to 25.6GB/sec of bandwidth between Core™ i7 processors and the rest
of the system,providing exactly double the bandwidth of 1600 Hz FSB

Turbo Boost Technology
Dynamically reroutes power to improve performance For
situations when all cores are not needed for a particular workload, Intel Turbo
Boost Technology powers down the idle cores and dynamically reroutes the power
to the active cores, boosting their performance without wasting power. This
allows the active cores to achieve significant overclocks. |
|
 | | Multi-display
support with CrossFireX and SLI™
Flexible graphics capabilities supported for
either CrossFireX™ or SLI™ action, delivering the ultimate in graphics
performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without
compromising on resolution. |

Durable 3 Classic
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable
3 Classic design, featuring 2 ounces of copper for both the Power and Ground
layers which dramatically lowers system temperature by delivering a more
efficient spreading of heat from critical areas of the motherboard such as the
CPU power zone throughout the entire PCB. A 2oz Copper layer design also
provides improved signal quality and lower EMI (Electromagnetic Interference),
providing better system stability and allowing for greater margins for
overclocking. |
|
 | | Benefits
of 2 oz Copper PCB
• Cooler than traditional motherboards
• Enhanced
durability
• Improved energy efficiency
• Greater margins for overclocking
|
|
| | | 2X
Lower Impedance
In addition,
doubling the amount of copper lowers the PCB impedance by 50%. Impedance is a
measure of how much the circuit impedes the flow of current. The less the flow
of current is impeded, the less amount of energy is wasted. For GIGABYTE Ultra
Durable 3 Classic motherboards, this means total PCB electrical waste is reduced
by 50%, which also means less heat is generated. 2 ounces of copper also
provides improved signal quality, providing better system stability and allowing
for greater margins for overclocking. |

 | | 50,000
Hours Japanese Solid Capacitors
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboards are
equipped with solid capacitors developed by leading Japanese manufacturers. With
an average lifespan of 50,000 hours, these solid capacitors provide the
stability, reliability and longevity essential to meet the power needs of
high-end processors and other components running today's most demanding
applications and games.

Dynamic
Energy Saver Advanced
GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced provides better
energy saving capabilities and enhanced system performance. GIGABYTE Dynamic
Energy Saver Advanced is the world's only motherboard energy saving technology
with hardware-based Dynamic 4-Gear Switching. GIGABYTE has also retooled Dynamic
Energy Saver to allow overclockers to experience the benefits of multi-gear
power phase switching while overclocking, providing ultra stable, ultra smooth
overclocking performance. |

DualBIOS™ - Patented
Dual Hardware BIOS Protection
DualBIOS™ is a GIGABYTE patented technology
that automatically recovers BIOS data when main BIOS has crashed or failed.
Featuring 2 physical BIOS ROMs integrated onboard, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ allows
quick and seamless recovery from BIOS damage or failure due to viruses or
improper BIOS updating. |

OverVoltage Control IC - Enabling Extreme Overclocking
GIGABYTE Hardware
Overvoltage Control ICs featuring more voltage control options than before for
the CPU North Bridge and memory. The overvoltage controllers also provide
hardware linear real-time voltage control, which means there is no delay
compared to the GPIO controller in past implementations. In addition, GIGABYTE's
Hardware Overvoltage Controller ICs also allow for much finer voltage control,
allowing power users to adjust voltage in as little increments as 20mV for
better overclocking performance. |
