Zitat: Zalety: + Dobra wydajność + Dobre możliwości OC + 10x SATA, LPT + FireWire, eSATA, 2x LAN + Bogaty w opcje i przejrzysty BIOS + Dobre chłodzenie + Wsparcie CrossFireX i SLI (3x PCI-E x16) Wady: - Cena

Zitat: We can pick up the P55-UD5 for around £145, but it´s also available for £160 elsewhere! That´s a lot of cash to splash on a P55 board when X58s can be had for the same price, although we doubt you´ll find one with the same breadth of features from the latter. You´ve got to really want the extra PCI-Express slot, use all the ten SATA ports and have gizmos galore for the jam-packed rear I/O, for this to be an value attractive option. The UD4 (micro-ATX and full ATX) can be had for much less: £115 to £125 and it´s nearly all there too. That´s not to say it won´t be appealing for more demanding users though, and we appreciate Gigabyte has a range of boards to cater for a lot of tastes, but we cannot ignore the astronomical difference in price for a single step up the ladder. The overclocking is pretty similar for both Gigabyte boards too, so there isn´t "extra" here we can attribute more money to, and it´s still missing crucial tweaking features such as an onboard diagnostic LED readout the UD6 has - that should be standard further down the range in our opinion - not to mention bits like voltage check points MSI offers. This is why the value score suffers: not because it´s "expensive", but all the UD5 is, is more of the same, rather than it having successively more new hardware layered on for a more compelling purchase. That´s not to dissuade people from a Gigabyte board though - both we´ve seen have excellent BIOSes, dual BIOS for fail-safe reliability and over 200MHz baseclock is certainly achievable in the right environment. Performance is generally above average, although not unanimously so, as the SATA still has idle performance issues and the USB hits a bump too it seems. Some of the layout is a bit naff, but overall it works with a generally good looking design but we appreciate the angular heatsinks can be an acquired taste. There are few faults with the Gigabyte GA-P55-UD5, but you´ve got to really need all the features to buy one, and given the fact the "A" series boards with SATA 6Gbps and USB 3 are already here just two months after the original release - it really does kill any potential value in a purchase. Checkout the much cheaper UD3 or UD4s that are 90 per cent of the same board for a more compelling Gigabyte P55 purchase.

Zitat: Pro: + Layout + Ytelse + Mange tilkoblinger + Overklokkingsvennlig + Støtte for AMDs og Nvidias Multi-GPU teknologi Contra: - Ingen spesielle

Zitat: Pros: + Performance + Übertaktbarkeit + Layout + Preis Cons: - fehlende Spannungsanzeige Mit dem GA-P55-UD5 hat Gigabyte ein ausgezeichnetes Mainboard auf den Markt gebracht welches sich von der Performance sowie Ausstattung nicht verstecken braucht. Was jedoch negativ aufgefallen ist, ist das man im Bios sowie Windows nur die VCore und VDimm kontrollieren / ablesen kann und das die Spannungsabsenkung bei aktivierten EIST/C1E nicht mehr funktioniert wenn man manuell die Spannung verstellt. Abgesehen davon ist es einwandfrei und bietet für den Preis viele Features und ein gutes OC Potential.
