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 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 Daul 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, providing up to 50, 000 hour component lifespan. Support Intel 22nm processors & PCI Express Gen.3 GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 4 Classic motherboards support next generation Intel 22nm processors. Support for PCI Express Gen.3 Approx. double the potential data bandwidth The GIGABYTE motherboard is one of the first to provide gamers with the latest Gen.3 PCI Express technology, delivering maximum data bandwidth for the latest discrete graphics cards GIGABYTE Touch BIOS™ (Patent Pending) An Innovative New Way to Modify BIOS Settings Navigating through the BIOS to change system settings can be a daunting task for users not familiar with control F"functions & mouse-less navigation. While some EFI BIOS try to address this with a mouse friendly environment, many implementations still lack a certain ease-of-use necessary for most people. With GIGABYTE Touch BIOS™, GIGABYTE engineers have completely re-imagined how users can interact with their BIOS, allowing for a more intuitive user experience. In fact, with a touch screen monitor, GIGABYTE Touch BIOS™ is as easy to use as most apps on your iPhone. New 100% Hardware VRD 12 Compliant CPU Power Design GIGABYTE 6 series motherboards incorporate an Intel approved Intersil PWM controller that is VRD 12 (Voltage Regulator Down) compliant. This means that it offers new 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 HD Graphics Core 2000/3000 Enhanced Visual Features Intel Quick Sync Video Intel Quick Sync Video provides breakthrough media processing for incredibly fast editing & sharing. Intel In Tru™ 3D 2nd Generation Intel Core™ Processors offer an outstanding Blu-Ray Stereo 3D experience in full high definition resolution (1080p) with HDMI 1.4. Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) Increases the performance of Accelerated Floating Point & Vector Computing Intensive Applications with minimal power gains. Dual BIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology) Hybrid EFI Technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE's mature BIOS platform including stability & compatibility with 3rd party products with 3TB+ HDD support from EFI technology, allowing GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds through a quick & easy BIOS update using GIGABYTE's @BIOS utility that is freely available from the GIGABYTE website. 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™ now supports 3TB+ (terabyte) hard drive booting without the need for partitioning, & enables more data storage on a single hard drive. Auto Green- Greening your PC via Bluetooth cellphone Auto Green technology can automatically save power by simply putting your PC in a state of sleep when your Bluetooth cell phone is out of range of your computer. Er P Lot 6 support The Er P (also known as Energy-Related Products Directive) is part of the European Union's 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.
