Gigabyte also showcased a neat computer build designed 
to appeal to musicians using the new Creative sound chip.
		
	
	
        
      Here we have 
the Ultra Durable Technology 5 demonstration rig. What you see 
below are three different motherboards with three different types of motherboard VRM circuitry. The 
three thermocouple thermometers show VRM temps so we can compare the systems in terms of heat 
production.
Note that each system is being watercooled so there is no forced airflow in 
and around the CPU VRM.
 
  
    |  Test system 1 - PowIRStage 
      IR3550 design motherboard VRM.

    |  Test system 2 - traditional 
      MOSFETs.

    |  Test system 3 - traditional 
    MOSFETs.

    |  Temperature breakdown between the 
      three motherboards to compare VRM temp... the Gigabyte UDT5 solution 
      is at 62.5C.

And here we have a comparison of the three types of motherboard VRM circuits 
Gigabyte has used in recent years, starting first with the new UDT5 single chip 
design.
 
Low RDS MOSFETs is a pillar of UDT4 design (below).
The final example shows the bog standard MOSFET circuit used on motherboards for 
many years (below).
More from Gigabyte's suite at Computex 2012 is coming up right after the 
jump.
