Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 features humidity protection, humidity can play havoc on a motherboard's circuitry. Gigabyte's glass fabric PCB design helps protect against electrical shorts due to humidity by reducing the gaps in spacing between PCB filaments. Permanent damage from power surge or failure during BIOS update can be avoided with Gigabyte Daul BIOS, which automatically enables a secondary, back up BIOS. Gigabyte also uses Anti-Surge ICs to protect the motherboard against power surges.
