GIGABYTE X570 UD DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The GIGABYTE X570 UD is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset for Socket AM4 processors. It supports AMD 3rd Generation Ryzen processors as well as 2nd Generation Ryzen and select Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics CPUs, making it a capable platform for users who want access to PCIe 4.0 bandwidth at an accessible price point. Power delivery is handled by a 10+2 phase digital VRM design paired with lower-RDS MOSFETs, providing clean and stable voltage to the CPU under demanding workloads. A enlarged VRM heatsink supports efficient thermal dissipation, while the Smart Fan 5 system adds multiple temperature sensor inputs and hybrid fan headers with FAN STOP functionality, letting you tune a silent, balanced, or performance thermal profile to match your use case. Memory support spans four DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 128 GB (32 GB per slot), operating in dual-channel architecture. With a 3rd Gen Ryzen CPU installed, the board can address DDR4 speeds up to 4000 MHz via XMP overclocking profiles. Standard JEDEC speeds of 2133 through 3200 MHz are also supported natively. ECC unbuffered DIMMs are supported when paired with compatible Ryzen processors. Storage connectivity includes one M.2 Socket 3 connector that supports PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe drives when used with a 3rd Gen Ryzen processor (PCIe 3.0 x4 with 2nd Gen), accepting 2242 through 22110 form-factor drives. Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports extend storage options further, with RAID 0, 1, and 10 configurations supported through the chipset. AMD StoreMI technology is available to combine SSD and HDD capacity into a single tiered volume. Connectivity on the rear I/O includes four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports from the CPU, two USB 2.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port powered by a Realtek GbE LAN chip with bandwidth management utility, one HDMI 2.0 port capable of 4096×2160 at 60 Hz (for APU-equipped CPUs), three audio jacks, a PS/2 combo port, and a dedicated Q-Flash Plus button for BIOS updates without a CPU or memory installed. Audio is handled by a Realtek ALC887 codec supporting 2/4/5.1-channel High Definition Audio output. The board ships with one RGB LED strip header and is managed through Gigabyte’s APP Center software suite, which includes EasyTune for overclocking, Game Boost, Smart Backup, and System Information Viewer, among others.
