Anschlüsse und I/O

Totally Gigabyte equipped the X79-UD7 with ten angled SATA ports which is much more than every overclocker might ever need. With this board you'll not only find practical onboard power- and reset-buttons there even more very practical features especially for overclockers. Ritght next to the DIMM slots, there is for example a plus and minus button to adjust the BCLK in realtime. Additionally you can even change the stepping by which the BCLK will be in- or decreased. Another thing Gigabyte has thought of concerns the usage of more than one graphics card. If you place, let's say four, high-end video cards, there will be no problems because between ever PCI-Express x16 slot there is an extra slot free of space.

 

Totally you'll find eight fan headers on the Gigabyte X58A-OC which is more than enough, to provide even an overclocking rig with plenty of fresh air. The fan headers are located around the CPU and their also spread over the entire board which makes them easily to access from any position in an enclosure (if you should really decide to put this board into a computer case).

  

Looking at the external connectors directly at the back-panel Gigabyte equipped the GA-X79-UD7 with one PS2 mouse/keyboard connector, two USB 3.0/2.0 ports, eight USB 2.0/1.1 ports, one gigabit ethernet port, an optical out as well as an analogue audio panel. Furhtermore you'll also find an OC-Button.
