Gigabyte Ultra Gaming Motherboards

Gigabyte Ultra Gaming Motherboards

Gigabyte is pleased to give gamers and enthusiasts the ultimate solution for gaming with its new Ultra Gaming line of featured on both Intel’s X99 and Z170 platforms.

“The PC is the only platform that has the power to offer gamers proper support for Virtual Reality (VR) and 4K,” said Henry Kao, Vice President of GIGABYTE’s Motherboard Business Unit. “GIGABYTE’s Ultra Gaming line of motherboards provides technologies such as increased transfer speeds for gamers viewing ultra-high definition cinematics”
 
With GIGABYTE’s Ultra Gaming series of boards gamers have the option between the enthusiast grade X99 platform or the performance class Z170. Both versions of the Ultra Gaming motherboards offer award-winning GIGABYTE features that go above and beyond the expectations of gamers.

X99 Ultra Gaming: Performance You Can Rely On
The X99-Ultra Gaming motherboard brings the best of Intel’s X99 chipset to a motherboard that’s ready to power through the latest and most demanding games on the market, as well as the new and exciting world of VR and 4K gaming. With Intel’s first 10-core processor for the enthusiast segment, the X99-Ultra Gaming motherboard is ready for everything that gamers demand.

Z170X-Ultra Gaming: The Next-Generation of Performance   
GIGABYTE’s Z170X-Ultra Gaming platform allows users to push Intel’s 6th Gen CPUs far beyond their expectations. With the Z170 Ultra Gaming board GIGABYTE brings gamers onboard U.2 connectors, and enhanced multi-graphics support, addressing the needs of even the most demanding gamers.
 
Fully Customizable LED Control
With Gamers valuing control over the aesthetics of their Gaming PC more and more, it was an easy choice for GIGABYTE to include Pin Headers for third-party LED strips. These Pin Headers can be found on both the X99 and Z170X-Ultra Gaming Motherboards, allowing the user to have full control of the system’s onboard LEDs with GIGABYTE’s Ambient LED Application. Not only can users control the color of the LEDs but also the lighting method such as beat mode, which illuminates to the sound of your music, or pulse mode that phases on and off imitating a heartbeat or breath.

Keeping Your System Cool with Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
A system’s CPU and GPU can generate a lot of heat, and often gamers and enthusiasts purchase extra fans and liquid cooling equipment to keep their system cool while under a heavy load. With the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers users can fully integrate their after-market fans and liquid cooling pumps into their GIGABYTE motherboard.

Note: Gigabyte did not include HR screenshots with the press release, I'll update the photos once they are available.

Smallest.. photos.. everrrrrr. (I know HH you mentioned you'd update them)

From what we can see they look nice though. I've always been a fan of gigabyte when it comes to Mobos. They are solid as hell.

Amen to that their bios'es are sometimes a bit weird but i never had a Gigabyte board fail on me.

Their Rma service overhere is also great but i heard other stories from people over the globe.
