Gigabyte EX58-UD3R X58 Motherboard

Vinson — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:32:32 +0000

The Gigabyte EX58-UD3R motherboard is the latest X58 Series motherboards of GIGABYTE, designed to support the fastest processors in the world, the new Core i7 processors. Equipped with several new features including the new QPI interface, 3 channel DDR3 support, CrossFireX supported, Ultra Durable 3 (Classic) technology and the industries most extensive range of overclocking features, the EX58-UD3R is bringing excitement back into the high performance motherboard industry.

The UD3R is aimed toward the entry level of the market and despite costing a pint of lager over £150, the UD3R is certainly one of the cheapest X58 motherboards out there today. As with the UD4P, the UD3R is a stripped down version of the flagship motherboards, each having less features as we slip down the scale. That isn’t to say the UD3R isn’t a capable motherboard, far from it. Being Crossfire compatible as well as having RAID capabilities, 8 SATA ports, twin 16x PCIe 2.0 slots, 8 USB ports (expandable to twelve), things are not quite as clear cut as you may think. Budget board maybe but it’s certainly not lacking in features. The EX58-UD3R features Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, which is able to power down idle processor cores and dynamically reroute the power to the active cores for significant performance boosts, and at the same time, maintain greater energy efficiency.

With support for ATI CrossFireX, GIGABYTE pushes the envelope once again by delivering highly optimized performance and flexibility demanded by power users and extreme gaming enthusiasts. Designed to provide unmatched multi-GPU support with dual PCI Express connectivity, the GA-EX58-UD3R allows users to take advantage of the ultra smooth 3D rendering, blazing-fast frame rates and enhanced visual quality possible with a dual graphics card solution.

Features
- 2 oz PCB design with copper cooled quality for lower working temperature
- Supports the newest Intel® Core? i7 processors in socket LGA1366 with QPI 6.4 GT/s
- Revolution energy saving design with DES Advanced featuring hardware based Dynamic 4-Gear switching
- Supports 3 channel DDR3 2000+ memory
- 2 PCI-E 2.0 x16 graphics interface plus PCI-E x4 with ATI CrossFireX support for ultimate graphics performance
- Unique hardware control IC to provide more precision voltage control
- 100% 50,000 hour lifespan Japanese solid capacitors design
- Patented DualBIOS with dual hardware BIOS protection
- Features high speed Gigabit Ethernet connection
- Home theater quality 8-channel High Definition Audio

On the graphics side, with an nVidia 512MB GeForce 9300M GS, the unit manages to obtain a score of 5,342 from 3D Mark 03, and 870 from 3D Mark 06 – both also running at default settings. Basically this laptop is also created for gamers, but aside from gaming Acer Aspire 4935G is also designed as a multi-media entertainment. Just look around its body and you would see phrases like “Superior HD Image Quality for video chatting,” “16:9 True Cinematic View,” “Full HD 1080 Playback” and “True 5.1 output.”

The six-cell, 4,400mAh battery lasts 2 hours and 21 minutes playing back a long MP3 file non-stop. Acer says it should last 3 hours in stand-by mode. If this is not enough for you on the go, you have two choices: 1) make do with Acer QuicCharge technology (80% charge in one hour, two-hour rapid charge system-off, three-hour charge-in-use), or 2) acquire extra batteries of the same rating. No nine-cell battery is available for this machine.As a part of the test, after a couple of hours running, results turns out that Aspire 4935G have great heat dissipation capabilities.
