Gigabyte P55A-UD6 Motherboard

Other Features

Gigabyte P55A-UD6 comes with other important features. All electrolytic capacitors used on this motherboard are solid from a Japanese manufacturer, which avoids the infamous leakage problem. The CPU voltage regulator circuit is equipped with ferrite chokes, which offer 25% less energy loss compared to iron shokes, and MOSFET transistors with low RDS(on) (low resistance when turned on), that consume less energy and generate less heat. Furthermore, this circuit uses a 24-phase design, which is awesome. For a better understanding of the importance of such design, read our Everything You Need to Know About the Motherboard Voltage Regulator Circuit tutorial.

Besides that, the copper power lanes on the motherboard are, accorging to Gigabyte, twice as thick as the ones found on other motherboards (this feature is called "2 oz copper"), which means less energy loss (and less heat dissipation), and more stable power for the components.
