Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1336 X58 DDR3 ATX (SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0)
Description
Get Ready to Unleash the Power of 32nm 6 Core CPUs
GIGABYTE's entire line of X58-based motherboards are ready to support the new generation of Intel 32nm 6-core processors, delivering the very best platform for multitasking, multimedia and high performance gaming.
Based on the Intel® X58 chipset, the GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R delivers all the killer next generation features that gaming enthusiasts and power users have been waiting for including GIGABYTE's 333 Onboard Acceleration features with support for USB 3.0, Serial-ATA Revision 3.0 (6Gbps) and a 3x USB Power Boost, as well as multi-GPU support for NVIDIA 3-Way SLI™ and ATI CrossFireX™ and support for Intel's high performance processors offering a high level of future CPU headroom for users wanting to maintain cutting-edge levels of performance. With the memory controller integrated directly into the processor die, the GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R also supports triple channel DDR3 memory for blazing fast memory performance.
Intel® Core™ i7 Processor and X58 Chipset support
The GA-X58A-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 rates (double the bandwidth of the 1600MHz FSB) eliminates the communication bottleneck between the processor and chipset.
USB 3.0 Motherboard
The GIGABYTE motherboards support the latest generation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through an onboard NEC uPD720200 host controller. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience an almost a 10x improvement over USB 2.0. Additionally, backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 assures users of long term use of their legacy USB 2.0 devices. The onboard NEC SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology also provides new power management features that include increased maximum bus power and device current draw to better accommodate power-hungry devices.
SATA 6 Gbps Support
Yet another onboard feature of GIGABYTE X58A motherboards are Marvell's new SE9128 chips for high-speed SATA Revision 3.0 compatibility, delivering superfast 6Gbps link speeds for twice the data transfer rates of SATA Revision 2.0 (3 Gbps). When used in RAID 0 (Stripe) mode, GIGABYTE X58A series motherboards offer even faster data transfer rates of up to 4x the speed of current SATA interfaces.

Problem Board - buyer beware!!!
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 16/09/2010
These boards have a known manufacturing defect with noisy poor quality components in the power regualtion circuitry. Just google 'x58a noisy components' Gigabyte themselves are aware of the problem and are trying to band aid it with an updated BIOS. Buy an Asus instead

Manufacture Defect Board!!
Reviewed by . Review Posted 18/08/2010
This board has a known manufacturing defect. There are fualty components relating to board voltage regulation. This results in various problems from static noise on front audio panel, faulty DRAM slots and randoming crashing of system. Gigabyte themselves now admit it. I have had 2 of these now from Dabs and both are faulty. High pitched hissing and fizzing noise comes from the area of the chokes and Vregs around the CPU area. Beware!!
