  • Ultra Durable 3 – Classic (CPU VRM)


    GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 series motherboards once again lead the motherboard industry for the highest quality and most innovative motherboard design. Featuring the industry’s first consumer desktop motherboard design to introduce 2 ounces of copper for both the Power and Ground layers, delivering a dramatically lower system temperature, improved energy efficiency and enhanced stability for overclocking.GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 Classic (CPU VRM) motherboards are equipped with the GIGABYTE Ultra Durable signature features including Japanese Solid Capacitors around CPU VRM boasting an operational life time of more than 50,000 hours, and GIGABYTE patented DualBIOS™ technology (providing dual hardware BIOS protection). GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 Classic (CPU VRM) motherboards promise to provide the stability, reliability and longevity essential to meet the power needs of high-end processors and other components running today's most demanding applications and games.


  • Dual Channel DDR2 1200+
    Delivering native support for DDR2 memory up to 1200MHz, GIGABYTE motherboards allow users to easily reach higher memory frequencies at lower voltages; achieving higher memory performance with lower power consumption to run even the most memory intensive applications such as high-definition video and 3D games with ease.
    * DDR2 1200+ is supported with combination of AM3/ AM2+ processors and qualified memory modules, please refer "Memory Support List" for detail memory support information.
  • PCI-E 2.0 Graphics Interface
    PCI-E 2.0 doubles the bus standard's bandwidth from 2.5 Gbit/s to 5 Gbit/s, meaning a x32 connector can transfer data at up to 16 GB/s in each direction. PCIE 2.0 also features improvements to the point-to-point data transfer protocol and its software architecture.


  • Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced
    GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced provides better energy saving capabilities and enhanced system performance. GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced is the world's only motherboard energy saving technology with hardware-based Dynamic 4-Gear* Switching. With support for VRD 11.1, GIGABYTE's DES Advanced allows the motherboard to switch to 1 Gear phase switching during idle, allowing for a dramatic increase in power savings.

    GIGABYTE has also retooled Dynamic Energy Saver to allow overclockers to experience the benefits of multi-gear power phase switching while overclocking, providing ultra stable, ultra smooth overclocking performance.
    * The 4-Gear feature may vary by model. Gear 1 phase switching requires 45nm processors with PSI signal enabled.


  • Quick and Effortless Overclocking with One Click
    GIGABYTE Quick Boost provides 3 levels of CPU performance enhancement; a simple click on the desired level delivers quick and effortless overclocking for novice and experienced users alike.
  • EasyTune6
    GIGABYTE a reproiectat de la zero utilitarul EasyTune6 pentru a face și mai ușoară administrarea și monitorizarea resurselor hardware cât și pentru ajustarea setărilor sistemului pentru obținerea de performanțe maxime. Fie că sunteți un overclocker entuziast sau un începător în computere, EasyTune6 vă ofera uneltele necesare pentru ajustarea rapidă și fără efort a sistemului.


  • DualBIOS™ - Patented Dual Hardware BIOS Protection
    DualBIOS™ is a GIGABYTE patented technology that automatically recovers BIOS data when main BIOS has crashed or failed. Featuring 2 physical BIOS ROMs integrated onboard, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ allows quick and seamless recovery from BIOS damage or failure due to viruses or improper BIOS updating.

  • Adjusts power consumption automatically according to your LAN cable lengths, up to 10% power savings.
  • Suport EuP Lot 6
    EuP (cunoscut și ca Energy Using Products Directive) este parte a noilor reglementări pentru mediu ale Uniunii Europene. EuP se bazează pe îngrijorarea față de problemele de mediu cu privire la echipamentele electonice care au câștigat popularitate și despre cum să se îmbunătățească eficiența energetică pentru o viață mai bună și mai verde. GIGABYTE prezintă plăci de bază standard ce ajută efectiv la îmbunătățirea performanțelor sistemului și la economisirea de energie.
