FRONTPAGE GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-UD5 Motherboard Review

[Overclockers.com]

First up... Long time, no see. It's been a while since my last review, but hopefully I'll be a more frequent sight on the frontpage in the foreseeable future. Anyways, on the the good stuff. Today we have the Z170X-UD5 which is in the upper tier of GIGABYTE's current lineup, just behind their Z170X-Gaming 7. Being near the top of the lineup, the UD5 looks like a great board on paper and deserves a good testing.

Nice review Matt, great looking board too!

Do you happen to know what VRM controller was used?

Thanks!

IIRC, it's an Intersil ISL95856 4+3 Multiphase PWM Regulator, I can double check to be sure.

Ah, good, it's PWM

Nvme boot?

Can this board boot to win 10 via s2 connection to a nvme device like Intel 750 ssd or Samsung 950?
