Abstract: We would have liked to have published this round-up much earlier, but as you know things happen, especially when dealing with broad subjects and a lot of comprehensive tests. While we may not be the first, we had a chance to witness how BIOS versions o...
It seems the X58 chipset, as well as the Intel i7s, have really been refined since their release last year. Gigabyte harnessed a lot of different technologies when they built the GA-X58-UD5. While the board didn’t wow us against other comparable X58...
Abstract: In November 2008 Intel started selling processors and chipsets for their new LGA1366 platform. WE have already posted a number of articles discussing the new systems and their peculiarities. This is definitely the article called First Look at Nehalem M...
The Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 is an excellent X58 based board. It consistently took the top spot for stock speed results in the majority of tests; and it was almost always in second place - and several times in first place - for the overclocked tests, even...
Abstract: The GA-EX58-UD5’s price positions somewhere in the middle of the X58 Express motherboard market, but its features set it apart. This board supports a host of high-end features, such as 3-Way SLI and CrossFireX, dual Gigabit LAN, and numerous RAID modes...

All of our motherboards performed admirably today, some better than others, but in the end any motherboard sporting an X58 will perform the same when it comes to standard performance attributes. Which board is better really comes down to your needs, b...
Great performance, Highest overclock was impressive, and simple to accomplish, Room for three dual-slot GPUs, Solid layout and good looks, Ten S-ATA and Eight USB, Priced right among immediate competition,
Power efficiency not that impressive, despite much-touted claims, BIOS can be clunky at times, Would be nice to have one PCI slot available even with three GPUs used, Base Clock is actually closer to 135MHz on our chip.
When I first received this board, I wasnt expecting to be that impressed, but I was wrong. After all, so many motherboards prove to be very similar, and the main draw is usually the overall board design or overclocking-ability. Things were different ...
The EX58-UD5 and X58 Eclipse are both good motherboards. Each offers loads of integrated peripherals and expansion capacity, plenty of BIOS-level tweaking options, ample overclocking headroom, and solid all-around performance. Which board is better rea...
