Description

The 990XA-UD3 R5 motherboard is designed to offer a stable, high-speed platform for delivering amazingly fast data transfer via the GIGABYTE unique technologies. Featuring the USB 3.0 controller, this motherboard allows users to take advantage of super fast USB transfer rates. Utilizing the serial ATA Revision 3.0 solution via AMD SB950 chipset, the GIGABYTE motherboard offers native 6 ports of next generation high speed data storage devices support with high data transfer speeds. The GA-990XA-UD3 R5 introduces an ultimate hardware design with lower resistance fuses for ensuring lower voltage drops and providing more stable and plentiful power delivery.

  • Extreme multi-GPU support

    Flexible graphics capabilities supported for either 2-way CrossFire or 2-way SLI action, delivering an ultimate graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand high frame rates without compromising on resolution.
  • Realtek ALC1150 115 dB SNR HD audio with built-in rear audio amplifier

    The Realtek ALC1150 is a high-performance multi-channel HD audio codec that delivers an exceptional audio listening experience with up to 115 dB SNR, ensuring users get exciting audio quality from their PC. Two stereo ADCs are integrated and can support a microphone array with Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), Beam Forming (BF), and Noise Suppression (NS) technologies. The ALC1150 incorporates Realtek proprietary converter technology to achieve front differential output 115 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), playback (DAC) quality and 104 dB SNR recording (ADC) quality.
  • High quality audio capacitors

    GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboard uses high quality Nippon Chemicon ARE series audio capacitors. These professional audio capacitors deliver a super high quality sound resolution and sound expansion to create realistic sound effects for user experience.
  • 2x copper PCB design

    GIGABYTE's exclusive 2x copper PCBs design provides sufficient power trace paths between components to handle greater than normal power loads and to remove heat from the critical CPU power delivery area. It is essential to ensure the motherboard is able to handle the increased power loading that is necessary when overclocking.
  • Long lifespan solid capacitors

    GIGABYTE motherboard integrates the absolute quality solid state capacitors that are rated to perform at maximum efficiency for extended periods, even in extreme performance configurations. This provides peace of mind for end users who want to push their system hard, yet demand absolute reliability and stability.
  • GIGABYTE patented DualBIOS (UEFI) design

    GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboard features GIGABYTE DualBIOS, an exclusive technology from GIGABYTE that protects arguably one of your PC's crucial components, the BIOS. GIGABYTE DualBIOS means that your motherboard has both a main BIOS and a backup BIOS, making users protected from BIOS failure due to virus attack, hardware malfunction, improper OC settings or power failure during the update process.
  • ESD Protection for USB and LAN

    GIGABYTE motherboard raises the bar in terms of protecting your system, providing advanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for both your Ethernet LAN and USB ports, both common sources of ESD-related failures. Each LAN and USB port is paired with a dedicated protection filter that can withstand high electrostatic discharges, protecting your system from common electrical surges and even direct lighting strikes.
  • Power failure protection with Anti-Surge IC

    GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboard also features special anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard, and your PC from any surge in power delivery that may occur, helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially irregular and inconsistent power delivery.
  • Alternative heat sink design

    GIGABYTE motherboard features an alternative heat sink design that offers uncompromisingly efficient cooling on key areas of the motherboard including the PWM area and chipset (PCH). GIGABYTE motherboard offers cooling support of the crucial PWM area so even very aggressive and extreme configurations will be kept well within optimal thermal parameters.
