Exclusive Realtek 8118 Gaming LAN Realtek 8118 LAN is a high performance & friendly network chip for gaming players with automatic bandwidth allocation to ensure the highest network priority of the game or application. It can provide users the most comprehensive features & the fastest & smoothest Internet experience. The Industrys Leading LAN Static-Electricity & Surge Protection GIGABYTE motherboards use ICs with up to 3 times the ESD resistance levels compared to traditional ICs. This helps to better protect the motherboard & its components against potential damage caused by static electricity. GIGABYTE motherboards also feature special anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard, & your PC from any surge in power delivery that may occur, helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially irregular & inconsistent power delivery. Smart Fan 5 With Smart Fan 5, users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM & Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly. Hybrid Fan Pin Headers Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers giving you absolute mastery over your PC. All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode. 2-Way Cross Fire ™ Multi Graphics Multi-graphics configuration offers better graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution. High-End Audio Capacitors GIGABYTE motherboards use high-end audio capacitors. These high quality capacitors help deliver high resolution & high fidelity audio to provide the most realistic sound effects for gamers. Audio Noise Guard GIGABYTE motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the boards sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level. LED trace path lighting Illuminates to show the separation of the PCB layers. GIGABYTE Patented Dual BIOS™ Design GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ motherboards feature GIGABYTE Dual BIOS™, an exclusive technology from GIGABYTE that protects arguably one of your PCs most crucial components, the BIOS. GIGABYTE Dual BIOS™ means that your motherboard has both a Main BIOS & a Backup BIOS, protecting users from BIOS failure due to virus, hardware malfunction, improper OC settings or power failure during the update process.
