Gigabyte X570 UD, AMD X570 motherboard - Socket AM4 [X570 UD]

PCIe 4.0 is backwards compatible and can be used with all previous generations of expansion cards. Each PCIe 4.0 lane has twice the data transfer rate compared to PCIe 3.0, so an NVMe SSD connected via four PCIe 4.0 lanes can achieve a theoretical read / write speed of up to 7.8 GB / s. Each motherboard with the X570 chipset is also suitable for all other AMD CPU series for the socket AM4.

Attention: The following PCIe lane specifications, M.2 slot connectivity and PCIe slot connectivity refers to the combination of the X570 chipset with a third generation Ryzen CPU (Ryzen 3000 / Zen 2 / Matisse) !

The features of the Gigabyte X570 UD motherboard at a glance:
- DDR4 memory up to 3,200 MHz, using RAM-OC up to 4,000 MHz
- 1x M.2 slot with x4 PCIe 4.0 connection directly to the CPU
 1x PCIe 4.0 x16 slots for high-end graphics cards
- -USB on the I / O panel: 2x USB 2.0 / 4x USB 3.0 / 1x HDMI
- Internal USB ports: 4x USB 2.0 / 4x USB 3.0
- A total of 4x 4-pin PWM headers for fans and pumps

The Gigabyte X570 UD in detail:
The Gigabyte X570 UD X570 motherboard in ATX format has efficient 10 + 2-phase MOSFETs, which are hidden under a large Heatsink including thermal pads, and thus receive optimal cooling, even when overclocking. For graphics cards, an PCIe 4.0 slot in x16 format is available, which is directly connected to the Ryzen 3000 processor via 8 PCIe 4.0 lanes. Two additional PCIe x16 slots are connected to the chipset via 4 lanes (PCIe 4.0 at Ryzen 3000, PCIe 3.0 for all previous generations). For plug-in and expansion cards there are also two PCIe-x1 slots available.
Faster connections thanks to PCI-Express 4.0
The Ryzen 3000 CPUs provide four PCIe 4.0 lanes for direct connection to NVMe SSDs. This X570 motherboard uses these four lanes to connect a single M.2 slot to NVMe SSDs. In addition to the M.2 slot, six SATA 6G ports are also provided via the X570 chipset.

On the I / O panel, the Gigabyte X570 UD features four USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports. Furthermore, this X570 motherboard offers features such as a Gigabit LAN port (Realtek GbE), on-board sound (Realtek ALC887 Audio Codec), enhanced PCIe slots and numerous internal headers. Bo (a) rd also includes OC features, an optimized power supply, a CMOS switch, a BIOS flashback button and support for RAM kits up to 4,000 MHz.
