If either of these occurs the motherboard will fail to function. By equipping resistors with an Anti-Sulfur Design GIGABYTE gives Ultra Durable Motherboards a whole new meaning.
    Product features may vary by model.
    Anti-sulfur product: An alloy layer has been
    added to protect the silver layer and prevents
    the sulfurization reaction from taking place.


    Without the anti-sulfur layer: The electrode terminals
    lack a protective layer, which means that oxygen or other environmental elements can penetrate the Ni (Nickel) layer causing a sulfurization reaction and degrade the ability for the electrode to conduct electricity properly.
