Doubling the amount of copper improves power efficiency by reducing circuit impedance by 50% and allowing more bandwidth for electron passage.

In addition, doubling the amount of copper lowers the PCB impedance by 50%. Impedance is a measure of how much the circuit impedes the flow of current. The less the flow of current is impeded, the less amount of energy is wasted. For GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 motherboards, this means total PCB electrical waste is reduced by 50%, which also means less heat is generated. 2 ounces of copper also provides improved signal quality, providing better system stability and allowing greater margins for overclocking.
Lower EMI
A good PCB circuit layout is the key of controlling EMI emission. Through GIGABYTE strong engineering design team and Ultra Durable 3 design featuring 2 ounces of copper for ground layer, improves signal integrity and lowering EMI emission through a very effective ground plane.
* Electromagnetic interference (or EMI) is an unwanted disturbance signals that
affects surrounding electronic devices.
