HDMI™ reprezintă High-Definition Multimedia Interface (interfață multimedia HD) ce permite o lățime de bandă a transmiterii de semnal video de până la 5Gb/s și sunet de înaltă calitate pe 8 canale, toate printr-un singur cablu. Fiind capabil să transmită semnal audio și video superior, necompresat, HDMI™ permite cea mai bună redare de conținut digital de până la 1080p fără pierderile de calitate asociate interfețelor analogice și conversiilor digital-analog. În plus, HDMI™ este compatibil cu HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), ce permite redarea de Blu-ray/HD DVD sau alte conținuturi media protejate.

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.
