Conclusions

Gigabyte EP45-UD3L is a nice motherboard, no doubt. However, when compared to EP45C-DS3R, which covered recently, several features are missing, like a second PCI Express x16 slot, CrossFireX support, RAID support, Firewire ports and twin Gigabit Ethernet ports. Moreover, its audio codec is not high-end like the one use by its sister. Sure, it has all the high-quality features seen on Gigabyte's mainstream and high-end motherboards (and even in some value ones), like solid aluminum capacitors, ferrite chokes, low resistance FETs, excellent overclocking options, plus the UD3 technology that we explained in the article.

This motherboard is a real mainstream product, with focus on durability, stability and overclocking potential, comparable to any high-end board. So if you are looking for a socket 775 motherboard, full of features like Firewire ports, RAID support, high quality audio codec, you can forget this one. But if your goal is simply a motherboard with high stability, durability and performance, it is worth considering the EP45-UD3L as a good purchase.
