Alongside Intel's Lynnfield launch, Gigabyte launched close to ten motherboards, one of which we're taking a look at here. The P55-UD5 is the company's second-highest offering, and it shows, with its huge feature-set, 12-phase power solution, overclocking-ability, robust BIOS, keen design and more.
You can read the full review here and discuss it here.

Whoops, no it wasn't... I meant to make mention of that in the article. The cooler used was Thermalright's MUX-120. The stock cooler was just used for stock-clocked testing.
http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_pa...r_mux-120.html 3.6GHz was stable on the stock cooler, however, although the temps were at the point of being too high (but this was under full LinX testing, so it's more extreme than normal conditions).
