GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co., Ltd, a leading
manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards and other computing hardware
solutions today proudly launched their new flagship motherboard for the P55
chipset platform, the GA-P55A-UD7. Continuing in the UD7 tradition (after the
launch of the GA-X58A-UD7), the GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD7 delivers awesome features
for power users and gaming enthusiasts such as a 24 phase power design , NVIDIA®
3-Way SLI™/ATI® CrossFireX™, as well as support for USB 3.0, 3x USB Power Boost
(unique to GIGABYTE), and SATA 3.0 (6Gbps). More Bandwidth from
Additional Silicon
The extreme bandwidth required for 3-Way SLI™ capability is made possible by
an onboard NVIDIA NF200 chip that allows the P55A-UD7 to deliver the ultimate in
graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates
without compromising on resolution. Additional bandwidth is provided by GIGABYTE
333 Onboard Acceleration with onboard SuperSpeed USB 3.0 and Serial ATA 6Gbps
from NEC® and Marvell®, providing the P55A-UD7 with an incredible amount of
graphics and data bandwidth at any given time.
Record-breaking Power Stability
The P55A-UD7 motherboard boasts the highly acclaimed GIGABYTE 24 phase VRM
that has been attributed with the remarkable operational stability of UD7
motherboards during extreme overclocking. Another UD7 feature that offers better
stability is GIGABYTE Hybrid SILENT-PIPE 2, a fusion thermal solution that
includes liquid cooling, screen cooling and an external heat sink to deliver
unequalled heat dissipation from the CPU VRM area. The P55A-UD7 obtained several
world records even before it’s official launch including a 1st place SuperPi
score of 5.944 seconds and a 1st place PiFast score of 13.42 seconds with the
Intel Core i5 670 at 7,098MHz and 6,906MHz respectively.

“The
P55A-UD7 is a phenomenon if you consider the amount of additional bandwidth
generating silicon onboard, constituting a breakaway from traditional
motherboard design,” said Tim Handley, Deputy Director of Motherboard Marketing
at GIGABYTE Technology Co. Ltd. “As such, this UD7 punches way above its weight
class and we’re confident that it will take many new performance records on the
LGA 1156 platform.” Continuing GIGABYTE's tradition of technology
and quality leadership, the GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD7 features the GIGABYTE Ultra
Durable™ 3 design, with 2 ounce copper for both the Power and Ground layers to
enable dramatically lower system temperature, improved energy efficiency and
enhanced stability for overclocking. The GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD7 also features
GIGABYTE Smart 6™ technology, offering a combination of 6 innovative software
utilities that provide easier and smarter PC system management for improved
system performance, faster boot-up time, secure platform management as well as
easy to enable system recovery with a single click of your mouse.
