GA-X99-UD5 WIFI is one of the popular offerings under GIGABYTE Technology’s latest X99 motherboard line-up, which is based on the Intel® X99 chipset. The series comes with support for Intel’s new Core™ i7 Extreme Edition (LGA 2011-v3 socket) processors and latest DDR4 memory. The GIGABYTE X99 motherboards boast a unique PCI Express design that utilizes 100% of all 40 lanes from the CPU when in a 4-Way or 3-Way graphics configuration. This is possible because of the onboard external clock generator combined with the direct connection of one of the x16 lanes to the CPU. It should be noted here that standard designs limit all 4 main PCIe lanes to ONLY x8 (64Gb/s) bandwidth
In simpler terms, with the aforementioned features, GIGABYTE X99 motherboards can unlock the best possible bandwidth to the user, whether it is for extreme gaming or graphic-intensive activities.
GA-X99-UD5 WIFI features with a wide range of features to make overclocking easy. These include Single BIOS Mode Switch / DualBIOS Mode Switch, Onboard Power Button that puts users in the driver’s seat when experimenting with different hardware configurations, and an Onboard Restart Button that allows for fast system reboots when troubleshooting.
Another key feature of this motherboard is the GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus that allows users to update to the latest BIOS using a thumb drive without the CPU or memory needing to be installed. By simply downloading the latest BIOS and renaming it on a USB thumb drive, and plugging it into the dedicated port, you can now flash the BIOS automatically without the need to press any buttons or even the need of onboard memory or CPU.
