Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H Motherboard Review

The blue board, the Gigabyte Z78X-UD3H, is an entry board for enthusiasts. Purpose-built to provide a strong, stable computing platform to all users, including gamers who like a slight overclock, it is very much a “sand-bagging” board to me, a board built with many enthusiast OC features that come together to give very decent long-term overclockabilty. None of its overclocking features are actually advertised, but Gigabyte’s UD3H boards have been hidden overclocking gems for many generations now. One key indicator of the Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H not exactly being what it appears to be is in the bottom PCIe slot; it is connected to the Z87 PCH. Add in its minimalistic esthetic design with just a few slashes of color and the Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H really is “The Sleeper”… at techPowerUp!
