Gigabyte X79-UD7 Motherboard Core Socket 2011 Intel X79 XL-ATX RAID LAN (rev. 1.0)

Summary

GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards are designed to unite unrivalled desktop PC performance with a level of flexibility and hardware control. Based on the Intel X79 Express Chipset, supporting the LGA 2011 Intel Core i7 processors, GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards bring DIY builders to an area of performance-oriented computing. GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards are the first to take advantage of the exclusive GIGABYTE 3D Power, a hardware and software-based Digital Power Engine for both the PWM and Memory that delivers unprecedented power delivery control. Utilizing a brand new Digital PWM controller, GIGABYTE\'s 3D Power features precise Auto Voltage Compensation to deliver a steady flow of power to the CPU and memory no matter the loading. This digital power system provides enthusiast users with exceptional control over the overclocking potential of their GIGABYTE X79 motherboard. GIGABYTE is the first in the industry to utilize digital memory controllers for not only the Memory, but VTT and VSA, for real-time monitoring and adjusting. Digital memory control allows users to monitor and record DDR power and current in real-time while gaming, overclocking or at idle. Users can also set OVP (Over Voltage Protection) to safeguard your memory, adjust memory Load-line Calibration to fix memory vdrooping for a quicker response time and adjust memory PWM frequency on-the-fly.

Description

The revolutionary GIGABYTE 3D BIOS application is based on our GIGABYTE UEFI DualBIOS technology and is available to consumers in two exclusive modes of interaction never before seen in a BIOS environment. GIGABYTE has re-drawn the traditional BIOS experience providing mainstream and enthusiast users with a choice of unique and powerful graphical interfaces. At the heart of this exciting 3D BIOS technology is a pair of 8MB physical BIOS ROMs containing GIGABYTE\'s exclusive in-house designed UEFI BIOS technology. With a superior graphical interface capable of 32-bit colour imaging and fluid user-friendly mouse navigation, UEFI DualBIOS makes BIOS configuration a new and exciting experience for novice and experienced users alike. UEFI BIOS also brings native support for large hard drives on 64-bit operating systems. Designed to provide an extremely streamlined and user-friendly BIOS environment, GIGABYTE\'s exclusive 3D mode offers a fully interactive and illustrative GUI that allows users to easily and intuitively make key adjustments to the UEFI BIOS settings for optimum performance. 3D Mode allows novice or casual users to more clearly understand the areas of the motherboard that are being affected through the BIOS settings, gaining a clearer understanding of the BIOS functionality. Advanced mode provides a more comprehensive UEFI BIOS environment that is designed specifically for overclockers and power users who want maximum control over their PC\'s hardware. GIGABTYE\'s signature M.I.T. tuning technology can be found alongside fully configurable parameters for GIGABTE\'s all new digital 3D Power engine. In short, advanced mode combines the signature GIGABYTE BIOS expertise you\'ve come to expect, wrapped a slick, new and optimized graphical UEFI interface. Packing the latest Sandy-Bridge-E processor architecture, this breed of Intel Core i7 processors are a dream come true for serious gamers. Featuring the largest ever Smart Cache with L3 cache sizes of up 16MB and Intel Turbo Boost Technology that can push clock speeds up 3.9GHz on up to six cores and 12 threads, you know you\'ll be one step ahead of the competition. GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards feature GIGABYTE 333 Onboard Acceleration , a range of the latest technologies that are designed help speed up data transfer, including SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology, SATA Revision 3.0 (6Gbps) technology and an unprecedented 3x USB power boost on all USB ports for more power hungry USB devices.
