Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R (Rev.1.6) Motherboard Review


Fri 2009-09-11 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
X-bit Labs have posted a review of the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R (Rev.1.6) motherboard, a surprisingly affordable yet fully-featured X58 motherboard.

Here's what they had to say:

"Gigabyte engineers did a great job with the design of this solution, provided it with a list of features that are up to all contemporary standards and may satisfy even the most pretentions users. Some of you may be upset to see no additional brackets for external Serial ATA devices or bridges for multi-card graphics configurations, but most will hardly even notice that. Just like the entire LGA1366 Gigabyte mainboard lineup, our today’s hero has BIOS with excellent functionality that doesn’t yield to any of the top solutions. Moreover, nothing prevented us from taking advantage of all these functions: the board worked perfectly fine in nominal mode and allowed us to easily overclock CPU and memory. As for the performance and power consumption, the board again proved up to the mark, having proven just as efficient as any other similar mainboards. However, Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R has a serious advantage over many competitors: since it is the junior model in the lineup, its price is relatively low."


This model has all the functionality that 95% of people are ever going to use, and it only costs $180, which is pretty damn good by X58 motherboard standards.
