GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-D3H (rev. 1.0) Pro Reviews

The Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H mainboard deserves our highest praise. It is an entry-level product, yet not the junior model in its series. Using most of the capabilities of the Intel Z87 chipset, it doesn’t have a lot of additional controllers, which helps keep its price low. The total number of USB 3.0 ports is, however, increased to 10 by means of a couple of USB hubs, which is a feature of the Ultra Durable 5 Plus set of technologies implemented on each Gigabyte product with Intel’s 8 series chipset. Ultra Durable 5 Plus also covers the new design of the heatsinks, the premium components from International Rectifier, DualBIOS and long-lasting solid-state capacitors, protection against short circuits and static discharges, double-thickness copper interconnects, and resistance to high humidity.
