The Ultimate Z590 Motherboard Guide

Gigabyte

Gigabyte AORUS and Gigabyte VISION are exceptional, but let’s not forget the mainline of Gigabyte boards. These include the Gaming X, the UD AC and the UD. Don’t be fooled though, these may not be the flagships, but they’re hardly ill-equipped. All three come with a Direct 12+1 Phases Digital VRM with DrMOS. They all feature a full PCIe 4.0 design, with robust Thermal Design hardware and Integrated IO armour. Of course, the main difference between the UD and UD AC is one features WiFi 6 and one does not. However, all three models come equipped with 2.5 GbE LAN, USB 3.2 Gen2 TYPE-C®, RGB FUSION 2.0, and Q-Flash Plus.
