New Gigabyte Motherboard Mainstay [Gigabyte X58A-UD9]

Gigabyte X58 market is being hit with a number of motherboards, the Gigabyte latest X58A-UD9. Not surprisingly, Gigabyte motherboard also market their own specific standards: DualBIOS, which allows for a backup BIOS protection; Hybrid Silent-Pipe 2 design for the conductance in the chipset and VRM heat so the fan is not needed (the connector is provided for cooling water), and hardware control IC for precision control voltage. Gigabyte penchant for the high number of phases also exist in the form of phase '24 'VRM (ability is currently not known). Also there is support for On / Off Charge, which allows the USB device will be powered by the USB port specified when the motherboard is turned off - Gigabyte to take advantage of this by providing 3x more power to the USB port of this.

The motherboard is obviously intended for fans who want to break the record for overclocking. No pricing information, but will most likely be more expensive than the EX58-Extreme, which is currently on the market the lowest priced 349 USD or 3 thousands of dollars. (via AnandTech)
