Socket LGA 1150 ATX Motherboard

The GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H is an ATX form-factor motherboard built around the Intel Z97 chipset and LGA 1150 socket. It supports DDR3 memory up to 32 GB and provides a single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot plus one legacy PCI slot. The board includes one M.2 slot and an I/O shield in the package.

Intel Z97 Platform for DDR3 Systems

This board suits builders assembling or repairing a 4th- or 5th-generation Intel Core system that uses DDR3 modules. It is not for buyers who need more than one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, who require a different CPU socket, or who want a motherboard that supports memory types other than DDR3.

Single PCI Express 3.0 x16 Slot

The specification that most often decides fit is the single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot; only one full-length graphics card or expansion device can be installed at x16 bandwidth. Check that your build does not require a second x16 connection before choosing this model.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the GA-Z97X-UD3H generate when running continuously?

The board uses passive heatsinks on the Z97 chipset and VRM area, so it adds no fan noise. Power draw depends on the installed LGA 1150 CPU and DDR3 modules rather than the motherboard itself.

Which components must I already own for this motherboard to function?

You need an LGA 1150 processor, DDR3 memory modules up to 32 GB total, an ATX case and power supply, plus storage drives that connect via SATA. The box includes only the board and I/O shield.

Will my existing PCI Express 3.0 x16 graphics card and SATA drives work with this Z97 board?

Yes. The single PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot accepts current graphics cards, and the onboard SATA ports support standard SATA SSDs or hard drives you may already have.
