GIGABYTE’s least priced X99 motherboard, GA-X99-UD4 still accommodates all of the extreme performance features of that platform.
Experience up to 320Gb/s bandwidth
All Gigabyte X99 motherboards feature a unique PCI Express design that utilizes 100 per cent of all 40 lanes from the CPU when in a 4-Way or 3-Way graphics confi guration. Standard designs limit all 4 main PCIe lanes to x8 (64Gb/s) bandwidth, but thanks to the onboard external clock generator combined with the direct connection of one of the x16 lanes to the CPU (switchless design), Gigabyte X99 motherboards can unlock the full bandwidth available and provide the best graphics bandwidth possible.
High-quality audio
While an amplifi er chip gives you the stereo output, the motherboard off ers the choicest blend of other augmentations, such as audio-exclusive capacitors. Th e left and right output channels are divided between diverse PCB layers to reduce crosstalk.
Advanced networking hardware
GA-X99-UD4 comes with Intel® Gigabit LAN networking, a popular choice with gamers that features several performanceenhancing utlitities, including advanced interrupt handling to help reduce CPU overhead and Jumbo Frame support for extra large data packets. Additionally, Gigabyte X99 series motherboards feature cFos Speed, a network traffic management application which helps improve network latency, maintaining low ping times to deliver better responsiveness in a crowded LAN environment.
Ambient LED
Gigabyte X99 motherboards feature LED lighting for the audio guard light path and the back panel LED, providing a cool, custom look to your rig. Th ese lights are programmable, so you can have them beat to the rhythm of the music you are listening to, or pulse at a soothing pace to create a great atmosphere to enhance the environment of your game, movie or music.

Gigabyte Q-Flash Plus allows users to update to the latest BIOS using a thumb drive without the CPU or memory needing to be installed. With this feature, by simply downloading the latest BIOS and renaming it on a USB thumb drive, and plugging it into the dedicated port, you can now Flash the BIOS automatically without the need to press any buttons or even the need of onboard memory or CPU. Utilizing the ITE EC 8951E controller, Gigabyte X99 motherboard BIOS can be updated even if your system is unable to boot.
