  • USB 3.0 Support
    The GIGABYTE motherboards support the latest generation SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through an onboard USB 3.0 host controller. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience an almost a 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. The onboard SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology also provides new power management features that include increased maximum bus power and device current draw to better accommodate power-hungry devices.

    * USB 3.0 10x performance is a maximum theoretical value. Actual performance may vary by system configuration.
  • 3x USB Power Boost
    Plăcile de bază GIGABYTE permit o creștere a puterii de 3x pe porturile USB, oferind o mai mare compatibilitate și mai multă putere pentru echipamentele USB. Design-ul unic de alimentare USB de la GIGABYTE este de asemenea capabil să regularizeze eficient ieșirea pe toată gama de tensiuni, ce îmbunătățește și mai mult compatibilitatea cu echipamentele USB. În plus, siguranțele dedicate cu rezistență scăzută asigură căderi mai mici de tensiune și permit o livrare de energie mai stabilă și mai puternică.


    (notă) Doar porturile USB frontale suportă 3X USB Power.


  • DDR3 2200+ Support
    Delivering native support for DDR3 memory up to 2200+MHz, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 series 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.
    * Please refer "Memory Support List" for memory support information
  • Smart TPM - A smarter , better way to protect your data
    TPM function is optional due to different regional policy
    GIGABYTE Smart TPM provides the industry's highest level of data protection with 2048 bit hardware encryption. Smart TPM allows users to store their digital key on a USB thumb drive. In addition, Smart TPM allows users to lock the protected data remotely using a Bluetooth® enabled mobile phone.
    Note: GIGABYTE motherboards do not include a Bluetooth® receiver; the addition of a 3rd party Bluetooth receiver is required.


  • 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 6-Gear* Switching.
