In case you did not get the memo, Gigabyte has released a new board design with a product they call UD3, Ultra Durable 3.



One of the major improvements was doubling the copper layers in the motherboard thus improving signal quality by lowering impedance, this helps in reaching maximum bus speeds as well as memory bandwidth beyond other boards are capable of on the market today.

The increased copper also helps spread heat and keeps components a little bit cooler. When going sub zero a bit more thought will need to go into containing the frost.

Hicookie has already shown off a sample of that the boards are capable of and I expect other manufactures to follow with similar product changes.

Thanks Dinos, stole your images!

UD3 is on Newegg.com now and released Monday, just a heads up on a sweet P45 board well under $150
