World's First Intel® Thunderbolt™ 3 Certified C236 based MotherboardThunderbolt™ 3 – The fastest 40Gb/s single-wire connection
Intel® Thunderbolt™ 3 Certified MotherboardPowered by Intel's own Thunderbolt controller the new Thunderbolt™ 3 protocol, which is available over a USB Type-C™ connectors on the back I/O of the GIGABYTE X170-EXTREME ECC, brings an unprecedented single-wire bandwidth of up to 40 Gb/s -- twice more than the previous generation of Thunderbolt! This incredible increase in bandwidth is also accompanied with support for different protocols such as DisplayPort 1.2 and USB 3.1, which is backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, opening up a world of new possibilities.
Daisy-chain Multiple DevicesSupport for DisplayPort 1.2 makes Thunderbolt™ 3 a must have for any enthusiast. The X170-EXTREME ECC is able to support a display in 4K resolution at 60 FPS. In addition, Thunderbolt™ 3 over USB Type-C™ has revolutionary industry-first features such as Power Delivery 2.0, and the ability to daisy-chain up to 6 devices thanks to the X170-EXTREME ECC’s USB Type-C™ port.
Compatibility may vary according to system configuration and device specifications. -
The Intel® USB 3.1 controller utilizes 4 PCIe Gen3 lanes, offering up to 32 Gb/s total bandwidth, for uncompromised transfer speeds of up to 10 Gb/s per USB 3.1. With twice the bandwidth compared to its previous generation, and backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and 3.0, the much improved USB 3.1 protocol is available over the new reversible USB Type-C™ and the traditional USB Standard-A connector for better compatibility over a wider range of devices.
