Abstract: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R and ASUS P6X58D-E review - Conclusion Author: Luka Rakamaric Date: 11 Aug 2010 We must say that the 1366 platform had little to offer to an average buyer, as the 1156 offers just a tad slower performance for a lower price. Multi GPU configurations and workstations with high memory requirements were practically the only ones that really needed the 1366. With Intel’s introduction of six core CPUs exclusively for 1366, this platform got another plus to its side. Not so much right now, as the CPUs are incredibly expensive when compared to their four core siblings, but as an upgrade. However, you have to have in mind that the 5 series of chipsets will be the only one using the current sockets, while the next generation X68 will switch to four memory channels and a new socket. Cheap motherboards (cheap in the X58 world) certainly do work. They deliver as promised, and can do almost anything the most expensive ones can. With both you’ll have the latest connectors, huge amounts of..
Excellent documentation, Tons of storage options, USB 3.0. It's sexy
No fan/noise controls to speak of, JMicron SATA controllers don't keep up with Marvell or Intel
Stability was also excellent. We had no problems running 12GB of RAM across all six slots, even when overclocking, and had no crashes.We like this Gigabyte motherboard and we like it quite a bit. For $200, Gigabyte has put together a package that overcloc...
Power consumption, The X58A-UD3R's power results are pretty consistent with the other LGA 1366 boards in our lineup today. It actually scored four watts less than Gigabyte's first UD3R board based on the X58 chipset. We didn't notice any special variation

We'd like to thank our friends at Gigabyte for providing the X58A-UD3R for our review today. Gigabyte packed tons of great features, bundled accessories, as well as applications and utilities into their lowest end X58A board. While the board is priced at...
While Gigabyte has an enviable track record for producing superlative micro-ATX and budget motherboards, in our experience, it hasn’t quite enjoyed the same level of success in the mid-range and high-end of the market in recent years.One of the company...
Abstract: A full seven expansion slots marks the final “features for the money” triumph for Gigabyte’s X58A-UD3R, but heat sink placement limits the top slot’s card length to a maximum of 3.125”. Though this sounds rather restrictive, we have..
The addition of USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s controllers is nothing more than an evolutionary step in X58 motherboard design, and all of today’s boards used the same parts to address these technologies. Aside from those updates, frankly, none of today’s moth...
Abstract: Of all the motherboards represented here today, this one is our favorite. The X58A-UD3R nicely blends enthusiast features you’d expect on a high-end motherboard like heatpipe cooling, gobs of SATA ports and PCIe connectivity, etc, while..
High quality, SATA 3.0, USB 3.0, USB Power III, Good layout Layout, Overclocks very well
EPS CPU power plug is still in an awkward spot
When we think of affordable motherboards we tend to think of motherboards that do not have the performance of their higher end, more expensive siblings. In some cases we would be correct, in the case of the Gigabyte X58A-UD3 motherboard we were totall...
