This all new, digital power system provides enthusiast users with exceptional control over the overclocking potential of their GIGABYTE motherboard. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 4 Classic 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. Electrostatic Protection GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 4 Classic motherboards feature High ESD Resistance ICs which help protect the motherboard against electrostatic discharge. Power Failure Protection Permanent damage from power surge or failure during BIOS update, can be avoided with GIGABYTE Dual BIOS, which automatically enables a secondary, back up BIOS. GIGABYTE also uses Anti-Surge ICs to protect the motherboard against power surges. High Temperature Protection GIGABYTE uses All Solid Caps (Capacitors) & Low RDS (on) MOSFETs which are rated to work at higher temperatures. UEFI Dual BIOS™ Technology With a superior graphical interface capable of 32-bit color imaging & fluid user-friendly mouse navigation, UEFI Dual BIOS™ makes BIOS configuration a new & exciting experience for novice & experienced users alike. UEFI BIOS also brings native support for large hard drives on 64-bit operating systems. Multi-display support with AMD Cross Fire Flexible graphics capabilities
- Up to 2 VGA cards are supported for 2 way AMD Cross Fire™ (running at x 16, x 4 bandwidth), delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution. 108d B Signal-to-Noise ratio playback GIGABYTE motherboards feature 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.
