GIGABYTE Technology has launched GA-X99-Ultra Gaming, which not only enhances the gaming experience to a whole other level, but also brings in the best features of Intel’s X99 chipset that is capable of powering the most demanding games of today. After all, the Intel X99 Chipset is designed to create the ultimate desktop PC platform for extreme gamers, enthusiasts and also, content creators.
The GA-X99-Ultra Gaming, a part of GIGABYTE’s new line-up of Ultra Gaming motherboards, has a number of features to ensure the ultimate gaming experience, including support for increased transfer speeds, vital for enjoying ultra-high definition cinema-like visual quality.
The motherboard features the Intel USB 3.1 controller that utilizes four PCIe Gen. 2 Lanes. This ensures up to 20 Gb/s total bandwidth, for uncompromised transfer speeds of up to 10 Gb/s per USB 3.1. With twice the bandwidth compared to its previous generation, and backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and 3.0, the much enhanced USB 3.1 protocol is available over the new reversible USB Type-C and the traditional USB Type-A connector for better compatibility over a wider range of devices.
Among its various unique features, GA-X99-Ultra Gaming is designed to give absolute LED control to the gamers, with a fully customizable system. The motherboard comes with Pin Headers for third-party LED strips. These headers allow you to have complete control of the system’s onboard LEDs with GIGABYTE’s Ambient LED Application.
The Ambient Surround LED allows gamers to personalise their PC to enhance their gaming experience, while allowing them to be in the centre of the action. Its features not only allow you to control the colour of the LEDs, but also the lighting method, such as beat mode, which lights up to the sound of your music, or pulse mode that phases on and off imitating a heartbeat or breath.
