Hey everyone. While GIGABYTE X99 series motherboards are quickly approaching launch, we thought we'd share another teaser pic, this time from our upcoming X99-UD4 motherboard. Even the UD4 is looking sharp in my biased opinion with the LED lighting and heatsinks.
It's been posted around here somewhere but I'm happy to see it again. If EK will make a block for it I will consider it. Though I'm not happy about the m.2 M fatty port instead of the skinny E.
I searched for it but could only find the threads on the SOC Force and Gaming WIFI boards. If this is a repost then this should be locked/merged. The UD4 tease was hours ago so I am not sure if that is the case though
I still don't get why they have 7 chokes in line and then the 8th on the far left goes a bit upwards. I guess it's just a space thing without any meaning. There's little chance the IVR isn't used or something.
There's also a chance for more chokes below the heatsink, but less so.
Interesting boards. I very much like the fact that the Wi-Fi module is not built into the motherboard, it makes for a much more secure setup; besides, if you don't need it you can always physically remove it, with the bonus that you can install something else in there.
I'm curious to know if Gigabyte will be back to its former glory with X99 after the problems they had with P67, and, especially pertinent to this discussion, X79 motherboards.

The most important part is the prize. The UD4 is apparently listed in Netherlands at 220€. Some other boards are at 300-400€ that's too much for a board in my opinion. Do we have the exact specs of the UD4 already?
I cannot see any differences between the UD7 and UD5 other than the top heatsink being connected to the lower one by a heatpipe.
Maybe I missed something but I looked through the specs and they are identical.
Anyone knows the differences? Is it in the quality of the parts?
