hey guys what's up Jays two cents here about to bring you a series of reviews that is very important to me because these are parts that were specifically put together for a gaming PC under a thousand dollar budget and that's going to be a different video but the reason why this video is close to my heart right there it's because this is a computer I'm actually building for my wife miss Jays two cents or mrs. Jays two cents whatever the correct plural roll no not plural o plural marriages but anyway whatever the right term for and however you say mrs mrs. I think it's missus I'm way off topic but today we are going to go ahead and take a look at the backbone of the build for her and that is the gigabyte 9 in 990 fxa ud3 motherboard revision 4 all right so the 990 fxa ud3 is not new to my channel in fact I did 6 computers last year for various customers where I use this exact motherboard but we are taking a look at the revision 4 so if you want to know the base features of this motherboard I'm going to go ahead and link and annotate right now on the screen the video I did last year where I talk about the basis of the board or the basics of the board which are the same on this but we're going to talk about what's different with the revision for today now when it comes to accessories you get your i/o backplate case badge manuals QuickStart guide and all that and of course an SLI bridge but this motherboard is a little bit different than the other revisions because they've beefed up what is already considered ultra durable I'm gonna go ahead and undo the bag here so I don't wrinkle it in your ears now when it comes to the name ultra durable they certainly are keeping that line alive not only with the upgraded PCB on here which we've already talked about which it inherits from its predecessors but also it does continue the tradition of all solid Japanese capacitors low RDS MOSFETs and it does have three times the electric static discharge protection on here where if you accidentally get some sort of discharge on the board you have a very high likelihood of not damaging your board I don't really recommend going and trying that though but if you take a look at just the overall construction of this it is it's absolutely gorgeous I do I am a firm believer in the gigabyte ud3 being the absolute best bang for buck that you can possibly get for any FX processor speaking of FX processor we are going to be bench testing this motherboard and doing a complete performance review of it when the build is together and we'll talk about how the overclocking was on this butt and it's going to be using the FX 8350 in my wife's build so I'm really excited about that now it does have 108 D be built on sound board it's got eSATA USB 3.0 s io on the back it's got more than you would ever really need 5.1 surround sound built in it's got a gaming nip card in there ps2 connection it's even got a built-in firewire port on there I remember the last time I've used firewire but if I needed one it's there now if you want to know more about the base features of this board go ahead and check out my other video where I talked about a lot of the features that are built into this board it's pretty much the same thing the revision 4 really is mostly just cooling upgrades when it comes to the motherboard it's got dual BIOS and all the things that you'd come to expect and a motherboard that comes in at $130 price point I don't think it gets much better than the ud3 quite honestly I mean they pack so many features into this thing and they really don't charge a lot for it and I've loved the six systems I built last year not one of them have had a single problem using this motherboard so I am very very confident in the durability of the motherboard so if you're building an FX system and you want to find a full-featured motherboard without breaking the bank and you want to say below 150 dollars you have to check out the gigabyte 990 FX ud3 now if you want to know how this thing is can perform for overclocking and other functions of the motherboard you guys are just going to have to go ahead and stay tuned for the build video that this is being featured in as I mentioned for my wife's desktop as always guys thank you for checking out this video you know what to do if you liked it you also know what to do if you hated it and as always I hope to see you guys on Twitter and I will see you in my next video and I'm gonna stop waving this thing around because I'm starting to scare myself and I'm going to accidentally drop it or throw it and I don't think gigabyte would be very appreciative of that then again maybe it would be an opportunity to show just how durable it really is you
