Gigabyte W480 Vision D – TechPowerUp

February 22, 2021 by Stephen

The Gigabyte W480 Vision D is a striking motherboard. Gigabyte has done a good job of creating a white theme that stands out visually, but still fits a wide array of components. While the RGB LED implementation lags behind some other boards in terms of complexity and customization, diffusion is excellent, and the placement blends in seamlessly with the board’s theme.
Out of the box, performance was excellent for the Gigabyte W480 Vision D. Memory overclocking was good as well, as I reached 4000 MHz CL16 stable with my Trident Z Neo kit. CPU overclocking is locked down on the W480 chipset, but VRM thermals were great when running Prime95 at stock settings, never exceeding 45 °C.

Targeted at professionals, the W480 chipset is designed for workstation computers. Primarily, they are to be used with the new Intel Xeon W processors, as the chipset also supports ECC memory. However, any motherboard equipped with the W480 chipset will also work with any of the new 10th Generation Intel Core Desktop processors.
