Imagine a workstation class redundant (duplicated) power design on a desktop motherboard! GIGABYTE’s proprietary Dual Power Switching Technology allows CPU VRM power phases to split* evenly into 2 sets of power engines that operate in tandem. This allows 1 set of power phases to rest while the other is active as opposed to a traditional power design where all the power phases are always active. So GIGABYTE Dual CPU Power effectively halves the amount of work done by each set of power phases to significantly increase motherboard durability and reliability. |

Power Phase Boost with Multi-Gear Switching |
|
GIGABYTE X58A-OC motherboard also features Power Phase Boost with Multi-Gear Switching.** This operates both when Dual Power Switching is active and when it is not.
|
|
Normal Loading
6 Power Phases are active
with Dynamic 6-Gear Switching |
|
Heavy Loading
Full 12 Power Phases are active
with Dynamic 6-Gear Switching |
|
 |

**Multi-Gear Switching requires system to enable GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver program.
The number of power phases for each Gear switching may vary between models. |

GIGABYTE On/Off Charge technology allows you to charge your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch regardless of whether your PC is on, in standby mode or even off. A derivative of GIGABYTE's highly acclaimed 3x USB Power feature, On/Off Charge enables devices to draw more current from GIGABYTE motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow, so that charging from your PC can be as fast as with a charger. |
