GIGABYTE 8 Series motherboards raise the bar in terms of protecting your system, providing advanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for both your Ethernet LAN and USB ports, both common sources of ESD-related failures. Each LAN and USB port is paired with a dedicated protection filter that can withstand high electrostatic discharges, protecting your system from common electrical surges and even direct lighting strikes.

GIGABYTE 8 Series motherboards come equipped with a gold plated CPU socket, which means that enthusiasts can enjoy absolute reliability and longevity for the CPU socket overtime, without having any concerns about corroded pins and bad contacts.

GIGABYTE's exclusive 2X Copper PCBs design provides sufficient power trace paths between components to handle greater than normal power loads and to remove heat from the critical CPU power delivery area. This is essential to ensure the motherboard is able to handle the increased power loading that is necessary when overclocking.

On GIGABYTE 8 Series motherboards each USB port has its own dedicated power fuse that prevents unwanted USB port failure, helping to safe guard your important data during transfer

Flexible graphics capabilities supported for either CrossFire™ or SLI™ action, delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution.

A resolução de 4K é o próximo marco tecnológico na entrega de conteúdo de alta definição, utilizando aproximadamente 4.000 pixels no eixo horizontal, mais do que quatro vezes a densidade padrão de pixels HD de hoje. As placas-mãe da série GIGABYTE FM2 + oferecem suporte 4K nativo com gráficos integrados FM2 + APU via porta HDMI.

HDMI™ is a High-Definition Multimedia Interface which provides up to 5Gb/s video transmitting bandwidth and 8-channel high quality audio all through a single cable. Able to transmit superior, uncompressed digital video and audio, HDMI™ ensures the crispest rendering of digital content up to 1080p without the quality losses associated with analog interfaces and their digital-to-analog conversion. In addition, HDMI™ is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), allowing the playback of Blu-ray/HD DVD and other protected media content.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) é um padrão de interface de vídeo projetado para transportar dados de vídeo digital descompactados e para maximizar a qualidade visual de dispositivos de exibição digital, como monitores LCD, projetores digitais, etc. Além disso, a interface DVI é compatível com HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

As placas-mãe GIGABYTE apresentam a próxima geração de interface gráfico DisplayPort, capazes de transmitir até 10.8 Gbps de banda através dos cabos, oferecendo bilhões de cores, permitindo as mais rápida “refresh rate” e maiores profundidade de cores.
