3x USB Power |
GIGABYTE motherboards feature a 3x USB power boost, delivering greater compatibility and extra power for USB devices. GIGABYTE’s unique USB power design is also able to efficiently regulate output over the full voltage range, which greatly enhances USB device compatibility. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure lower voltage drops, and provide more stable and plentiful power delivery.
|
|
|
* 3x USB power is a maximum theoretical value.
Actual performance may vary by system configuration. |
| |
|
USB 3.0 |
GIGABYTE motherboards boast SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through native support from the AMD FM2 series motherboards as well as through an additional onboard host controller. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience a theoretical 10x improvement over USB 2.0. Additionally, backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 assures users of long term use of their legacy USB 2.0 devices.
|
|
* USB 3.0 10x performance is a maximum theoretical value.
Actual performance may vary by system configuration. |
| |
|
SATA 3.0 |
GIGABYTE motherboards are High-Speed SATA Revision 3.0 compatible, delivering superfast 6Gbps link speeds for twice the data transfer rates of SATA Revision 2.0 (3 Gbps). When used in RAID 0 (Stripe) mode, they offer even faster data transfer rates of up to a theoretical 4x the speed of current SATA interfaces.
|
|
* SATA3 RAID 0 4x and SATA3 2x performance are maximum theoretical values.
Actual performance may vary by system configuration. |

GIGABYTE Helps You Quick Charge Your iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch
|
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. |

Onboard Quick buttons
GIGABYTE quick switches are made for power users who often use and test their motherboard without a PC case. GIGABYTE high-end models all come with on-board Quick Switches that allow power users to easily turn on, reset, or clear CMOS. All on-board Quick Switches are LED backlit so you can find them in a low light environment. |

80 Port Debug Display
GIGABYTE includes debug LEDs on some premium models. Debug LEDs provides a 2 digit display to show your current system condition. The debug LED display allows advanced users to easily understand and diagnose the system when their PC won’t boot up properly. With the debug LEDs, advanced users no longer need to “GUESS” what is wrong or which component is faulty when they face system issues. |
