Motherboards
The motherboard is responsible for controlling everything in a computer. A high quality motherbard is the foundation of building a good PC, start off with something below par and your CPU, RAM, graphics card and other devices will bottleneck and you will find you will not be getting full performance.
Each motherboard we use in our computers are all of the upmost highest quality. We have tested hundreds of them to make sure what we choose is the right choice for your PC the result is not only a great foundation for a PC but gives superb performance, lastability and are future proof for upgrades later down the line.
UK Gaming computers motherboards tend to remain constent in each model of PC. The reason for this is to stop you accidently choosing an upgrade that is not compatible with the rest of the system.

ASUS ASUS SABERTOOTH P67 Revision 3.1 Socket 1155 Sandy Bridge
The UKGC High end Intel P67 socket 1155 Sandy Bridge Motherboard complete with TUF Thermal Armor! Like the Asus SABERTOOTH X58 these motherboards are found in our Extreme Range as they are very fast, reliable and upgradeable.
The TUF Thermal Armor is the world’s first ever thermal design for the entire motherboard, not just for select critical areas. It safeguards the system against hot air generated by connected cards and components, keeping temps down. With its sophisticated and agile integrated shunt design, the Thermal Armor improves cool air circulation, directing it towards every important part for a complete motherboard cool down. It effectively conducts hot air away and out of the case through special airflow channels, contributing to enhanced system stability and extending component lifespan. The TUF Thermal Radar monitors temps in critical parts of the motherboard in real time, automatically adjusting fan speeds to make sure the system maintains high stability without overheating. It consists of multiple sensors for various components on the motherboard, giving users the ability to monitor each one individually. The Thermal Radar automatically calculates ideal fan speeds based on different parameters selected by users for each component, keeping everything cooler and longer lasting.
