  • Industry leading 12 Phase Power VRM Design
    GIGABYTE's leading 12 phase power VRM design utilizes the highest caliber components to provide unadulterated, smooth power delivery for the CPU. GIGABYTE's 12 phase power design enables better delivery of power to supercharge your system, giving power users unparalleled overclocking ability and lower temperatures to reach maximum performance levels.
    The 12 phase power VRM has been designed and engineered to deliver fast transient response times through quick and seamless power delivery during extensive CPU loading variations. In addition, heat from the VRM is effectively reduced by spreading the load between the 12 power phases, resulting in a cooler and more stable platform.
  • Suport On/Off Charge
    Tehnologia GIGABYTE On/Off Charge permite încărcarea iPhone, iPad şi iPod Touch fie că PC-ul este pornit, în standby sau chiar oprit. Fiind derivată a tehnologiei apreciate GIGABYTE 3x USB Power, On/Off Charge permite echipamentelor să primeasca mai mult curent din porturile USB ale plăcilor de bază GIGABYTE faţă de cât permit porturile USB standard, astfel încât încărcarea din PC sa fie la fel de rapidă ca cea cu încărcător dedicat...mai mult
    *Din cauza anumitor limitări ale telefoanelor mobile, utilizatorii pot fi nevoiti să conecteze telefonul mobil la PC înainte ca PC-ul să intre în modul S4/S5 pentru a se permite încărcarea rapidă de la un port USB fără ON/OFF Charge. Rezultatele încărcării pot varia în funcţie de model.
    *Suportul pentru 3X USB power design poate varia în funcţie de model.

  • 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.
  • SATA 6 Gbps Support
    Yet another onboard feature of GIGABYTE motherboards are Marvell's SE9128 chips for high-speed SATA Revision 3.0 compatibility, 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, GIGABYTE motherboards offer even faster data transfer rates of up to 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.
    * SATA3 SSDs are not recommended for use in RAID 0 mode on Marvell SE9128 ports.
  • 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.
  • Ultra Durable 3

    Ultra Durable 3
    GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 design, featuring 2 ounces of copper for both the Power and Ground layers which dramatically lowers system temperature by delivering a more efficient spreading of heat from critical areas of the motherboard such as the CPU power zone throughout the entire PCB. GIGABYTE's Ultra Durable 3 also lowers the PCB impedance by 50%, which helps to reduce electrical waste and further lowers component temperatures. A 2oz Copper layer design also provides improved signal quality and lower EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), providing better system stability and allowing for greater margins for overclocking...more

  • Hotkey OC
    GIGABYTE Hotkey OC allows users to create and save various profiles that can be adopted for different benchmarks. Hotkey OC then allows users to jump between these profiles on the fly so that the best profile for each segment within the benchmark can be used to optimize scores and boost overall performance. So, for example, when running 3DMark 06 the 1st profile might be optimized for graphics and can be used for the first two graphics tests, then the next two tests can utilize the 2nd profile which might be optimized for CPU tests, and one could jump back to the 1st profile again for the final two graphics (shader) tests...more
