Product Description

The GIGABYTE motherboard employ award winning GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 5 technology that

Includes:: high current capable components for the CPU power zone including IR3550 Pow I Rstage ICs from International Rectifier, 2X Copper PCB & high current Ferrite Core Chokes rated up to 60A, which together are able to deliver cooler temperatures than traditional motherboards. Featured on a range of new motherboards based the AMD A85X Chipset, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 5 technology is the next evolution in quality motherboard design. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 5 motherboards take advantage of an exclusive Digital PWM controller array, to deliver power to new generation of AMD FM2 A-series processor. Using digital controllers means that more precise power delivery to the motherboards most power hungry & energy sensitive components is possible. These components include the CPU & processor graphics, without doubt the most important components on the motherboard. This Digital Power system, with Precise Auto Voltage Compensation to make real-time adjustments & deliver a steady flow of power to the system, no matter the loading. This all new, digital power system provides enthusiast users with exceptional control over the over -clocking potential of their GIGABYTE motherboard.
