PERFORMANCE 5+3 Phases Pure Digital VRM Solution with Low RDS(on) MOSFETs GIGABYTE UD series motherboards use a 5+3 phases pure digital PWM + Low RDS(on) MOSFETs design to support the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ CPUs by offering incredible precision in delivering power to the motherboard's most power-hungry and energy-sensitive components as well as delivering enhanced system performance and ultimate hardware scalability. Benefits of Low RDS(on) MOSFETs ‧ Optimized gate charge to minimize switching losses.‧ Lower temperature, smaller size, better thermal characteristics. PCIe 4.0* Hardware Design PCIe 4.0 Slot PCIe 4.0 x16 slot with faster bandwidth and lower impedance. M.2 PCIe 4.0 Slot M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot with Lower impedance. * Product uses PCIe 4.0 grade material, actual support varies by hardware configuration. NVMe PCIe 4.0*/3.0 M.2 Connector With NVMe PCIe 4.0*/3.0 x4 M.2 connector onboard, GIGABYTE Motherboards bring users to experience NVMe mode or SATA mode connectivity with delivering up to 64 Gb/s data transfer speed. *Actual support may vary by CPU. Exclusive Realtek 8118 Gaming LAN High Speed Gigabit LAN with Automatic Bandwidth Allocation Realtek 8118 LAN is a high performance and friendly network chip for gaming players with automatic bandwidth allocation to ensure the highest network priority of the game or application. It can provide users the most comprehensive features and the fastest and smoothest Internet experience. Program On Top Gets Highest Priority Real-Time Network Monitoring The Industry's Leading LAN Static-Electricity & Surge Protection GIGABYTE motherboards use ICs with up to 3 times the ESD resistance levels compared to traditional ICs. This helps to better protect the motherboard and its components against potential damage caused by static electricity. GIGABYTE motherboards also feature special anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard, and your PC from any surge in power delivery that may occur, helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially irregular and inconsistent power delivery. HDMI 2.1 for 4K / 60P / 21:9 / HDCP 2.3 Support HDMI 2.1, which is backwards compatible with HDMI 2.0/ 1.4 and offering 48 Gb/s of bandwidth – twice times more than previous generation. This unlocks the potential for users to transfer multiple video streams, as well as a native cinematic 21:9 ratio (which most movies are shot in), Full HDR and HDCP 2.3 support, to offer the best visual experience for viewers. Note: Only New Gen AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Graphics processors support displaying function. High-End Audio Capacitors GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution and high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers. Audio Noise Guard GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board’s sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level. FAN STOP Hybrid FAN Header Smart Fan 5 Software Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor, and at what temperature—all of it can be customized to your liking. Intelligent Fan Control Design RGB Fusion 2.0 Software RGB Fusion APP With an integrated intuitive user interface, the RGB Fusion 2.0 provides you a better solution for customizing the lighting effects across all supported devices. From motherboards, graphics cards to the peripheral products, you can personalize your gaming rig with your own style and show off your build by sharing the profiles. In addition, the new gaming mode makes the lighting effects interactive with selected games to bring you the most immersive gaming experience. Sync with one click Individual control as you wish ULTRA DURABLE Q-Flash Plus Update the BIOS easily without installing the CPU, memory and graphics card. With GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus, you don’t need to install the CPU, memory and graphics card nor enter the BIOS menu to flash the BIOS. Just download and save a new BIOS file (rename to gigabyte.bin) on the USB flash drive, then press the dedicated Q-Flash Plus button and you’re good to go! GIGABYTE Patented Double Locking Bracket Solid Pin Power Connectors B550 motherboards feature solid plated ATX 12V 8pin power connectors for offering stable power supply while CPU overloading. Solid Pin Power connector advantages Larger contact area for electricity More metal quantity to sustain higher power and generated heat Ultra durable and longer lifespan START SULFURIZATION PROTECTION Sulfur compounds in the air can penetrate tiny onboard resistors creating chemical change and causing these resistors to open or short. If either of these occurs the motherboard will fail to function. By equipping resistors with an Anti-Sulfur Design GIGABYTE gives Ultra Durable Motherboards a whole new meaning.
