GIGABYTE TECHNOLGY Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, today introduced their latest Ultra Durable 5 technology, featuring a range of high current capable components including the industry's highest rated 60A IR3550 PowIRstage ICs that provide the best quality power delivery to the CPU for record-breaking performance, cool and efficient operation and extended motherboard lifespan.

GIGABYTE is yet again raising the bar of motherboard quality and durability with their Ultra Durable 5 technology, which includes high current capable components for the CPU power zone including the highest rated and awarded IR3550 PowIRstage ICs from International Rectifier, 2X Copper PCB and high current Ferrite Core Chokes rated up to 60A which together are able to deliver up to 60°C* cooler temperatures than traditional motherboards. Featured on a range of new motherboards based the Intel X79 and Z77 Express Chipsets, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 5 technology is the next evolution in quality motherboard design.



"As the exclusive motherboard manufacturer to utilize the amazingly efficient IR3550 PowIRstage ICs from International Rectifier, GIGABYTE has spent a considerable amount of engineering resources to ensure our Ultra Durable 5 motherboards are our best Ultra Durable motherboards yet," commented Henry Kao, Vice President of GIGABYTE Motherboard Business Unit. "GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 5 motherboards are especially optimized for water cooled systems and overclocked Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge "K" SKU CPUs due to their exceptionally low operating temperatures, and make the perfect match for anyone looking to push their system to limits."

"We are delighted that IR's award-winning IR3550 PowIRstage provides the high current, thermal capability and outstanding performance to power GIGABYTE's new Ultra Durable 5 motherboard series," said Deepak Savadatti, Vice President and General Manager, IR's Enterprise Power Business Unit.

About IR3550 PowIRstage ICs
The award winning IR3550 PowIRstage ICs feature greater power e¬fficiency and are the highest rated Power Stage in the industry, able to provide up to 60A of power. This ensures the best power delivery to the CPU, for more stable operation and better overclocking performance. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 5 motherboards also use both IR digital PWM controllers and IR PowIRstage ICs, for a uniquely seamless power delivery system.

IR has leveraged its world class packaging technology developed for the DirectFET, improving the thermal capability and layout of the PowIRstage significantly over that of other MCM packages.

Gigabyte boards are very well designed but they lack software support like that of Asus boards. Hope to see some reviews of mobos based on UD5 technology. :respect:

What software?
 
Fan expert, USB flashback, USB 3.0 boost, just to name a few that I love. ;)

Meh. Nothing important.

Only stuff one needs are drivers and an OS :toast:
 
USB flashback does not need update...
 
I'm a fan of Gigabyte, I have a Gigabyte board, but UD5 looks retarded. All they did was add driver MOSFETs to the standard. Big whoop. MSI and ASUS have been doing that for ages.
