GIGABYTE Signature 'Locked and Loaded' Heatpipe Design

The GIGABYTE G1.Assassin 2 features a redesigned distinctive signature heatpipe design that identifies all GIGABYTE G1-Killer series motherboards. You'll soon find that it is as deadly to heat as it looks.
By effectively spreading the heat from the critical areas of the motherboard such as the CPU VRM zone and quickly dissipating it, the GIGABYTE G1.Assassin 2 motherboard remains cool, even when the battle heats up. Modeled after common firearms issued to soldiers deployed to a warzone, including pistol, rifle and ammo clip, the Locked and Loaded heatpipe design utilizes a unique fluting technology similar to a rifle barrel fluting, which allows for maximum heat dispersion.

5 Smart Fan Connectors
To further help eliminate heat in the field of war, five Smart Fan pin headers which allow for precise cooling fan control, have been strategically placed around the board. Each fan can take advantage of its own thermal sensor and can also be controlled by via GIGABYTE's EasyTune 6 utility as well as within the UEFI BIOS.

Les cartes mères GIGABYTE de série X79 sont les premières à tirer bénéfice de l'innovation GIGABYTE 3D Power, associant pour la première fois une solution logicielle et matérielle permettant d'optimiser la gestion des modules PWM / Mémoire pour un contrôle sans faille.

Un tout nouveau module de contrôle PWM et Mémoire.
En se basant sur un tout tounouveau module de contrôle, l'innovation GIGABYTE 3D Power permet de fournir au processeur et modules mémoires un courant électrique optimisé en fonction des besoins requis par ces composants.
GIGABYTE est la toute première marque du marché à utiliser une telle technologie permettant de gérer mémoire, VTT et VSA pour une gestion en temps réel. Le contrôle de la mémoire pourra être effectué en temps réel pendant les phases de jeux ou d'overclocking, tout utilisateur pourra alors modifier les valeurs OVP ( Over Voltage Protection ) et ajuster les données de "Load-Line Calibration" pour obtenir les meilleurs taux de réponses que possible à la volée.

	Tout utilisateur pourra bénéficier de notre utilitaire permettant, en toute simplicité d'ajuster les variables relatives au processeur ou à la mémoire : Courand, Phase et Fréquence. Ces paramètres étant cruciaux pour votre carte mère, puisque que jouant sur la quantité et la qualité du signal électrique proposé à vos composants.
	3D Power: Contrôle de courant Les paramètres de courant peuvent être modifiés sous 3D Power. En ajustant les valeurs de "Load Line Calibration", le Vdrop pourra être évité pour maintenant une stabilité élctrique sans faille. La valeur OVP ( Over voltage Protection ) pourra être elle aussi modifée pour assurer une parfaite protection de votre processeur et mémoires.
	3D Power: Contrôle de Phase Tout utilisateur pourra calibrer les valeurs OCP ( Over Current Protection ) associées au processeur et modules mémoires. Ceci permettant aux phases de fournir d'avantage de courant électrique en cas de besoins.
	3D Power: Contrôle de fréquence Chacun pourra ajuster les fréquences de son environnement grâce au contrôleur PWM International Rectifier (IR3567). 3D Power permettant de modifier les fréquences PWN pour ajuster la réactivité du VRM CPU.

OC-Dual BIOS features a unique back-panel BIOS switcher and LED indicator, allowing users to select one BIOS for normal use, and another for specifically designated for overclocking. This means that if your overclocking configuration suffers from instability, you can easily revert to your stable settings if needed. With OC-Dual BIOS, users can also easily compare two different BIOS versions, a very useful feature when users want to update to a new BIOS, but don't want to lose their original settings.
