Push your computing experience to the limit with the X299 UD4 Pro LGA 2066 ATX Motherboard. Designed for enthusiasts and professionals who run demanding applications, the ATX motherboard features the X299 chipset for Intel processors using the LGA 2066 socket. Up to 128GB of quad-channel non-ECC DDR4 RAM, reaching 4400 MHz when overclocked, can be installed across eight memory slots to make applications and multitasking more efficient. Built to deliver high-end performance for time for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, video editing, and gaming, the motherboard features advanced cooling and supports up to two M.2 SSDs and eight SATA III storage drives, enhanced with Intel Optane. Connected drives can be put in RAID 0, 1, or 10 configuration, with Intel VROC optimization for supported PCIe NVMe SSDs.
Compatible devices can be connected to the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports for a data throughput of up to 10 Gb/s. Its five PCIe 3.0 x16 slots can accommodate 2-Way, 3-Way, and Quad-GPU NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFire configurations to maximize your system's graphical capabilities for high frame rates, connecting 4K and 8K monitors, and faster video rendering times. A Thunderbolt 3 header is available for compatible expansion cards.
Other features include a cFosSpeed-accelerated Gigabit Ethernet port that delivers a high-speed wired network connection for streaming video, playing online games, transferring files, and more. The motherboard also features the Realtek ALC1220 audio codec to deliver deep and immersive 7.1-channel surround sound. You can customize your computing experience by connecting light strips to the addressable RGB headers, which support up to 300 digital LEDs and can be synced with other Gigabyte RGB Fusion-compatible peripherals such as mice and keyboards using the desktop software or mobile app. Windows 10 64-bit is required to take advantage of all the motherboard's features.
- The X299 UD4 Pro motherboard features digital PWM controllers and Smart Power Stage controllers to deliver reliable power to critical components.
- Sever Level Chokes offer high current capacity while keeping both heat and power loss at a minimum.
- Turbo B-Clock Tuning IC allows overclockers to quickly change to the value of their base clock frequencies between 90 to 500 MHz. The CPU PEG bus can be changed from 100 MHz linearly to up to 200 MHz synchronously for boosted performance. Turbo B-Clock overclocking range may vary according to CPU, chipset, and used devices' capabilities.
- Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange fan headers to correspond with the thermal sensors located across the motherboard so that the system stays cool while maintaining a high level of performance for games and other demanding applications.
- Fan Stop lets you to take control of your computer's noise level by allowing specified fans to halt when the system drops to a designated temperature level. These settings may be customized according to your preferences.
- Hybrid Fan Headers automatically detect the connected liquid- or air-cooling systems, enabling Smart Fan 5 to monitor information such as flow rate. Thermal guards help to quickly dissipate heat from the M.2 solid-state drives to avoid speed throttling.
- Gigabyte's double locking brackets keep PCIe slots securely affixed to the motherboard.
- This motherboard features resistors with an anti-sulfur layer that help prevent sulfur compounds in the air from causing electrical malfunctions.
- With the Q-Flash Plus feature, you can update the BIOS without having to install a CPU or video card. Simply copy the new BIOS file to a USB flash drive, insert it into the designated port, then press the Q-Flash button.
- The DualBIOS design features a secondary backup BIOS to help recover from computer viruses, hardware issues, and other issues that could endanger your computer.
- Two M.2 slots are available, supporting up to type 22110 SATA and PCIe NVMe SSDs.
- Eight SATA III headers are available for hard drives and 2.5" SSDs.
