GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0)
A sourced record of one model and its documented revision-specific behavior. Similar model numbers and later board spins are distinct products.
IDENTIFY THE PCB FIRST: Record silkscreen, assembly revision, product suffix and firmware string. Use revision-matched manuals and support lists; verify against the physical board.
Documented specifications
| Exact model / revision | GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) |
|---|---|
| Socket / processor | LGA1366 Core i7/Xeon models listed for rev. 2.0 and BIOS. |
| Chipset / architecture | Intel X58 + ICH10R; auxiliary USB/SATA controllers are separate. |
| Memory | Six DDR3 DIMMs triple-channel; CPU/population constrain rate/capacity. |
| Form factor | ATX. |
| I/O / expansion | PCIe x16-length, PCIe x1/PCI, SATA, auxiliary SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, Ethernet, IEEE 1394/audio. |
| Firmware / boot compatibility | Award DualBIOS; rev. 2.0 files only; check CPU list. |
Compatibility and revision pitfalls
Do not flash rev. 1.x files. Match silkscreen and memory channel order; high-TDP CPU needs supported VRM/cooling.
Before substitution, check exact CPU/SoC support, minimum BIOS/bootloader, memory population, power connectors and chassis requirements. Matching socket or connector alone does not prove compatibility.
Repair and preservation notes
Preserve BIOS recovery and settings. Inspect LGA1366 pins, chipset cooling, controller ports and capacitors; test JEDEC memory before XMP.
Record provenance, labels, firmware and test conditions. Photograph traces, jumpers and cable routing before repair or cleaning.
