Decent price, kept me updated with progress, well packed (and they chucked in some sweeties!) and good delivery. Great service overall.Read on Google
Unleashing an advanced thermal design and incredible precision, the Z490 UD is named after the leading ultra durability incorporated in GIGABYTE’s manufacturing process. Along with remarkable XMP performance, the integrated PCIE armour strengthens support for heavy duty graphics cards so you can enjoy power without compromise. With an intuitive user interface, the added RGB Fusion 2.0 provides a better solution for customized lighting effects to make immersive gaming experiences your own.
Never worry about the weight of heavy graphics cards damaging your GPU’s connector when connected to the motherboard, thanks to GIGABYTE’s innovative PCIe Armour. This stainless steel shielding design results in stronger shearing and retention force by 1.7x and 3.2x respectively for peace of mind with high performance
The Z490 UD takes advantage of the exclusive Realtek 8118 Gaming LAN. A high performance network chip, players with automatic bandwidth allocation will be ensured of the highest quality for gaming or application use. Giving the program on top highest priority along with real-time network monitoring, this board gives its users the fastest and smoothest internet experience.
GIGABYTE’s tested and proven platform means that the Z490 UD motherboard ensures compatibility with XMP profiles up the 4500MHz. This performance boost means that you’ll be able to utilise higher memory speeds without taking extra time adjusting frequencies, voltage and timings.
Among the latest in smart fan technology, the Z490 UD’s Smart Fan 5 grants users the ability to interchange fan headers to reflect the six different thermal sensors at various locations on the motherboard. Then there’s the five hybrid fan headers, supporting both PWM and Voltage mode to make the board more liquid cooling friendly.
Part of the inuitive UI, you can also make use of Fan Stop. A revelation in intelligent fan control design, you can map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Whichever fan you wish to stop based on sensor readings and at what temperature, all can be customised to your preference.
GIGABYTE uses high-end audio capacitors in all of its motherboards, delivering high resolution and fidelity for realistic sound effects that aid true immersion in the gaming experience. Combined with the audio noise guard, the sensitive analogue components will be separated from potential noise pollution at the PCB level for even higher quality.
For stunning visuals, GIGABYTE motherboards provide both HDMI and native 4K Ultra HD support, transmitting up to 5Gb/s video at approximately 4,000 pixels.
Easily update your BIOS with GIGABYTE Q-Flash Plus. Without even needing to install the CUP, memory or graphics card, you’ll be able to have the motherboard update the BIOS automatically and get going almost immediately.
