Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK Black Edition Motherboard Review

Sticking to the motherboard's Black Edition marketing, Gigabyte ships the Z97X-UD5H-BK in black packaging.

An annotated image featuring extensive information regarding the motherboard's specifications is found on the packaging's rear side.

Opening the front flap reveals additional information regarding the Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard. A plastic window also gives a glimpse at the motherboard inside.

Documentation is supplied in the form of manuals, a drivers disk, two case badges, and a certificate. Gigabyte's included certificate of reliability and stability states that the Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard has passed a week-long continuous operation test.

Despite the Z97X-UD5H-BK motherboard's upper-mid range price point, Gigabyte includes a bare accessory bundle. A black IO shield is accompanied by a dark black SLI bridge and four SATA cables.

Each SATA cable is contained within an attractive mesh material that provides a unique appearance over the conventional plastic coating.
