Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2-B3 H61 Socket 1155 7.1 Channel Audio MATX
Motherboard

Product Description

This GIGABYTE 6 series motherboard incorporates an Intel approved Intersil PWM controller that is VRD 12 (Voltage Regulator Down) compliant. This means that it offers features that include Serial VID (SVID) which transfers power management information between the processor & voltage regulator controller, allowing more robust & efficient signaling control between the CPU & PWM controller
- hence, delivering a more energy efficient platform. Intel Quick Sync Video provides breakthrough media processing for incredibly fast editing & sharing. Intel Core Processor offers an outstanding Blu-ray stereo 3D experience in full high definition resolution (1080p) with HDMI. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 2 motherboards also feature ferrite core chokes with higher energy efficiency compared to iron core chokes & Lower RDS (on) MOSFETs which feature lower resistance, i.e. reduced power consumption & heat. GIGABYTE has further enhanced on the CPU VRM area by increasing the power phases from 3 to a 4 phase design. This allows for more stable power delivery to the CPU, as well as help smooth out power ripple & noise which is important for clean CPU power delivery. GIGABYTE Dual BIOS is a patented technology that automatically recovers BIOS data when the main BIOS has crashed or failed. Featuring 2 physical BIOS ROMs integrated onboard, GIGABYTE Dual BIOS allows quick & seamless recovery from BIOS damage or failure due to viruses or improper BIOS updating. In addition, GIGABYTE Dual BIOS supports 3TB+ hard drive booting without the need for partitioning, & enables more data storage on a single hard drive. This GIGABYTE motherboard features higher capability audio solution with 108d B signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) playback quality to deliver high-performance, multi-channel HD audio. SNR is a comparison of the amount of signal to the amount of noise such as hiss present in the signal (expressed in Decibels). A higher SNR equals a better audio experience. For example, 108d B, is a high audio

Specification, as this means the audio signal is 108d B higher than the level of the noise. 3x USB (Universal Serial Bus) Power Boost delivers greater compatibility & extra power for USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices. GIGABYTEs unique USB (Universal Serial Bus) power design is also able to efficiently regulate output over the full voltage range, which greatly enhances USB (Universal Serial Bus) device compatibility. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure lower voltage drops, & provide more stable & plentiful power delivery. GIGABYTE On/ Off Charge technology means that you can charge your iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch regardless of whether your PC is on, in standby mode or even off. A derivative of GIGABYTEs highly acclaimed 3x USB (Universal Serial Bus) Power feature, On/ Off Charge enables devices to draw more current from GIGABYTE motherboard USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports than standard USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports allow, so that charging from your PC can be as fast as with a charger. The Er P (also known as Energy-Related Products Directive) is part of the European Unions environmental regulations policy. It is based on concern for the environmental as the proliferation of electronic devices continues, & how to improve energy efficiency for a better & greener life. GIGABYTE supports Er P & produces motherboards that help you effectively improve system efficiency.
