The Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD7 to be launched in februari 2010



The GA-P55A-UD7 is a P55 motherboard that can compete with X58 boards.

The GA-P55A-UD7 will of course have USB3 and SATA3 connecters and together with an NVIDIA nForce 200 chip there will be sufficient PCI-express lanes for gaming and USB3.

Very interesting is the 24+3 phase circuit, which will be great for overclocking.

The PCI-Express x16 slots can be arranged into x16 - x16 or x16 - x8 - x8 lanes. There are six SATA 3Gb/s ports and two white ports for the Marvell SATA 6Gb/s controller.

Unique is perhaps the waterblock that cools the two PCI-Express bridge chips.

The X58 chipset has plenty of PCIe lanes, this board might have an advantage if it'll be cheaper than an X58 mobo, but that remains to be seen. This board will probably in the shops in februari 2010.
