The Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P motherboard is the high performance X58 series motherboards of Gigabyte, designed from the ground up to unleash the awesome power of Intel's Core i7 processors. This Intel motherboard is equipped with a host of features including the QPI interface, 3 channel DDR3 support, 3 Way SLI and CrossFireX support, Ultra Durable 3 technology and the industry's most extensive range of overclocking. There are tons of indicator lights to help you know what's going on (overvoltage, overclock, system temps, etc), excellent layout and the CMOS reset switch that comes on the IO board is GREAT. However, for a board that is meant to make overclocking easy, this Gigabyte motherboard still looks difficult for a beginner and the default voltage settings are a bit too high. the Auto setting, in the some case, dumps way too much into the system. If it's that case, you can manually set Core Voltage in the BIOS to .96V or so and you may be able to run a stable system that was 10C cooler at load. The software that comes with the board is also buggy, cause some things don't even install properly.
