GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today announced the new UD1300GM PCIE 5.0 power supply, which fully supports the latest PCIe Gen 5.0 and ATX 3.0 standard. The UD1300GM PCIE 5.0 power supply supports PCIe Gen 5.0 and can provide up to 600 watts of power to the graphics card through a high-quality 16-pin cable. It also complies with Intel ATX 3.0 standard and can sustain up to two times total power excursion. The UD1300GM PCIE 5.0 power supply inherits the spirit of GIGABYTE Ultra Durable product design, introducing a variety of high-quality materials and technologies. Not only it is the best choice for high-end gamers and overclockers, but it is also ready for the latest graphics cards.

The UD1300GM PCIE 5.0 power supply fully supports the PCIe Gen 5.0 and ATX 3.0 standard. Traditional power supplies need multiple 8-pin to 16-pin adapters to support the latest PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics cards. The new UD1300GM PCIE 5.0 power supply needs only a single 16-pin cable to directly supply power to the PCIe Gen 5.0 graphics card. The 16-pin cable provides up to 600 watts of power to the graphics card. Reducing the number of cables makes the installation of the graphics card more convenient and safer, making the interior minimalistic and appealing, and improving the airflow inside the chassis. The UD1300GM PCIE 5.0 power supply is fully compatible with Intel PSDG (Power Supply Design Guide) ATX 3.0 standard which supports up to 200% power excursion, reaches 70% low load efficiency and complies with required power supply timing standards.




The UD1300GM PCIE 5.0 power supply inherits the spirit of GIGABYTE Ultra Durable product design, introducing a variety of high-quality materials and designs. Ultra Durable design combines high-quality main Japanese capacitors, enhanced thermal solution, 140 mm smart hydraulic bearing (HYB) fan, and OVP/OPP/SCP/UVP/OCP/OTP six circuit protection designs. Moreover, it provides users with high-quality and stable power delivery, and it can be used for a long time. In addition, the UD1300GM PCIE 5.0 power supply also features 80 PLUS Gold certification, fully modular design and compact design. It is the best choice for high-end gamers and overclockers.

GIGABYTE continuously releases new power supplies that support the latest PCIe Gen 5.0 and ATX 3.0 standard. Customers have options of not only 1300 W but also 1000 W (UD1000GM PCIE 5.0 rev. 2.0) and 850 W (UD850GM PCIE 5.0 rev. 2.0). They can choose the corresponding wattage based on their system requirements to fully unleash the performance of the GeForce RTX 40 series graphics card. The UD series power supplies not only provide high-quality power supply but also consider long-term safety and stability for a secure and enjoyable high-quality gaming experience. They are the best partners for the latest graphics cards.

Hopefully actually ultra durable and not like the heaps of turds they put out earlier.
 
When will they learn?
 
Certainly making a big deal out of the 'new' power connector. I don't think that is the main concern. This product needs to be thoroughly tested.
 
In 2021 Gigabyte got massively hacked with ransomware. After months of saying user's data wasn't compromised they suddenly deleted their official (US) forum. It wasn't really used by Gigabyte to help their customers, but it was still useful since it had quite a wide user base who posted their problems and got help from other users.

I know forum use is in decline for a long time now. But I would not trust a PC hardware company that can't run their forum. It all seems like a good excuse for deleting a site that didn't paint a rosy picture, almost all their releases had various problems. After a great start with x570 motherboards they started trailing behind all their competitors, delaying bios releases or even ommiting them.

Maybe they should stick with something simpler then, like selling lumber. Or stone, lumber burns too....
 
Do their power supplies still have Gigabomb issues?
 
I ended my longstanding relationship with Gigabyte after it took months for them to replace my motherboard. It was also the second consecutive board to fail within warranty from them. That, combined with the last power supply fiasco, I wouldn't take one for free.
 
These PSUs are more than likely fine, but after what happend with there last product line, my money is going elsewhere.
