The GIGABYTE G1-Turbo series motherboards are skillfully designed for extreme overclockers and hardcore gamers. The GA-G1975X-C exudes performance and represents a fusion of the best industry and GIGABYTE innovations through features such as the highly advanced Intel^® 975X Express chipset.

The GA-G1975X-C integrated hardware audio controller from Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit, delivers heart pounding 7.1 channel surround effects to deliver the most natural and engrossing multimedia entertainment experience possible from games, DVD movies, music, and TV. With DTS enabled functions - DTS-ES and DTS Neo:6, GA-G1975X-C brings you the ultimate entertainment experience to the PC world.

The new Intel^® 975X Express chipset delivers significant performance gains with variety of new generation architectures including the latest dual core processor, dual-channel DDR2 main memory, dual PCI-Express graphics interface, Intel^® Matrix Storage technology for improving storage reliability and performance.

Enjoy the extraordinary CPU power from the latest dual-core CPU. The advanced processing technology contains two physical CPU cores with individually dedicated L2 Caches to satisfy the rising demand for more powerful processing capability.

Revolutionary PCI Express interface provides scalable bandwidth for multi-purpose usage. PCI-E x16 interface doubles the bandwidth of graphics interface of previous generation thus delivering the utmost gaming experience. PCI-E x1interface provides twice the bandwidth of PCI interface up to 250MB/s for new generation I/O peripheral devices.

Provides a flexible expansion interface for peripheral devices which operates at PCI-E x4 or x1 mode. In addition, it provides extension interface for optional graphics cards.

AMD Athlon64 FX/ 64 X2 achieves the milestone for desktop computing with the CPU-integrated memory controller. This platform supports dual channel DDR2 800 memory architecture with high bandwidth of up to 12.8 GB/s and shorter memory accessing latency thus delivering the greatest memory performance.

Situated around the hottest components on a motherboard, GIGABYTE proprietary Turbojet Technology helps to efficiently remove heat generated by the CPU, north bridge and memory, and is designed to cope with abnormally tough thermal conditions. This is achieved by directing airflow over and away from heat generating components; two fans are dedicated to sucking warm air out the back of the system while another two drive air over the system memory, an area on the motherboard that is often neglected by cooling systems.

Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit hardware audio controller with DTS support delivers heart pounding 7.1 channel surround effects and delivers the most natural and engrossing multimedia entertainment experience possible for games, DVD movies, music, and TV. With DTS enabled functions.

The Gigabit network interface delivers a high speed LAN connection with data transfer rate up to 1000Mb/s, providing new generation connectivity for the broadband era. Gigabit LAN is ideally for seamless internet connection such as streaming audio and video contents

SATA 3Gb/s doubles bus bandwidth from 1.5Gb/s to 3Gb/s. SATA 3Gb/s facilitates bandwidth aggregation for multiple devices, enabling max through put as well as, higher cache through put performance in single drive configurations.

GIGABYTE proprietary design, C.R.S., allows user to clear the CMOS and reboot the system simultaneously. C.R.S. provides convenient default settings retrieve and jumper-free CMOS reload.

GIGABYTE patented DualBIOS^™ technology protects BIOS from virus. With the innovative backup BIOS design, this platform provides a double security thus assuring the PC stability.

Embedded post code debug LED display simplifies motherboard's signals and indicates system status for users.

Onboard power on switch provides convenient system power on for overclocking enthusiasts who always leave their chassis open.
