What is the GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™3 design? |
 |
 |
The signature specifications for GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 3 motherboards are Japanese Solid Capacitors featuring 50,000 hr. operation time, 2x Copper PCBs, Ferrite core chokes with higher energy efficiency compared to more common iron core chokes and Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs that feature lower resistance, i.e. reduced power consumption and heat. |
