Product features
- GIGABYTE ultra durable
GIGABYTE ultra durable debuts on GIGABYTE motherboards, with a range of features and component choices that provide record-breaking performance, cool and efficient operation and extended motherboard lifespan. - Ultra performance
GIGABYTE uses solid caps (capacitors) for CPU VRM and low RDS(on) mosfets which are rated to work at higher temperatures to provide a longer lifespan. - Humidity protection
Humidity can play havoc on a motherboard's circuitry. GIGABYTE's new glass fabric PCB design helps protect against electrical shorts due to humidity by reducing the gaps in spacing between PCB filaments. - Power failure protection
GIGABYTE also uses anti-surge ICs to protect the motherboard against power surges. - Electrostatic protection
GIGABYTE motherboards feature high resistance ICs which help protect the motherboard against electrostatic discharge. - High ESD protection for USB and LAN
GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards raise the bar in terms of protecting your system, providing advanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for both your Ethernet LAN and USB ports, both common sources of ESD-related failures. Each LAN and USB port is paired with a dedicated protection filter that can withstand high electrostatic discharges, protecting your system from common electrical surges and even direct lighting strikes. - One fuse per USB port
On GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards each USB port has its own dedicated power fuse that prevents unwanted USB port failure, helping to safe guard your important data during transfer. - 4K Ultra HD support
4K resolution is the next technological milestone in high-definition content delivery, utilizing approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than four times today's standard HD pixel density. GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards provide native 4K support with integrated Intel HD graphics via HDMI. - HDMI - the next generation multimedia interface
HDMI is a high-definition multimedia interface which provides up to 5 Gb/s video transmitting bandwidth and 8-channel high quality audio all through a single cable. Able to transmit superior, uncompressed digital video and audio, HDMI ensures the crispest rendering of digital content up to 1080p without the quality losses associated with analog interfaces and their digital-to-analog conversion. In addition, HDMI is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), allowing the playback of Blu-ray/HD DVD and other protected media content. - On/off charge technology
GIGABYTE on/off charge technology allows you to charge your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch regardless of whether your PC is on, in standby mode or even off. A derivative of GIGABYTE's highly acclaimed 3x USB Power feature, on/off charge enables devices to draw more current from GIGABYTE motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow, so that charging from your PC can be as fast as with a charger.
