I have not been keeping well since Diwali so I couldnt do this earlier but anyways..
As its known by now.. Intel's latest and greatest chipset, X58, is out and thanks to supportive Gigabyte Taiwan I got a early sample of their UD5 model based on it.
Let the pics talk.

Gigabyte said:Revolutionary Ultra Durableâ„¢ 3 technology from GIGABYTE features the industry's first consumer desktop motherboard design with 2 oz copper Power and Ground layers for dramatically lower system temperature, improved energy efficiency and enhanced stability for overclocking.
Benefits of 2 oz Copper PCB
- Cooler than traditional motherboards
- Enhanced durability
- Improved energy efficiency
- Greater margins for overclocking
In addition, doubling the amount of copper lowers the PCB impedance by 50%. Impedance is a measure of how much the circuit impedes the flow of current. The less the flow of current is impeded, the less amount of energy is wasted. For GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 motherboards, this means total PCB electrical waste is reduced by 50%, which also means less heat is generated. 2 ounces of copper also provides improved signal quality, providing better system stability and allowing for greater margins for overclocking.

Extreme numbers in OC&Mod section soon!!
