- 3 x USB (Universal Serial Bus) Power Boost + On/ Off Charge 3x USB (Universal Serial Bus) Power Boost GIGABYTE motherboards feature a 3x USB (Universal Serial Bus) power boost, delivering greater compatibility & extra power for USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices. GIGABYTE′s 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. On/ Off Charge Technology 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 GIGABYTE's 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. Super Savings All GIGABYTE Super 4™ motherboards are equipped with the very best quality components that ensure that you PC is running at maximum power efficiency. Lower RDS (on) MOSFETs reduce energy wastage through unnecessary residual heat dissipation, while ferrite chokes reduce overall core energy loss with better energy storage & regulation. This all amounts to tangible energy savings which are beneficial for both end-users & the environment without impacting system performance.
- Lower RDS (on) MOSFETs
- Ferrite Core Chokes
- Lower CPU Zone Temperature
- High Power-Efficiency
- Super Sound As the HD multimedia revolution continues to gain momentum, so too must hardware standards in audio quality. All GIGABYTE Super 4™ motherboards offer excellent 7.1 surround sound audio backed by a proprietary converter that which is able to achieve a 108d B noise ratio (SNR) playback quality. This means that users will enjoy a better audio experience with lower levels of noise & hiss when enjoying the latest HD content.
- 108d B HD Audio 108d B Signal-to-Noise ratio playback GIGABYTE strongly believes that in 2011, HD audio playback is a standard
Specification, & as such, we have made Blu-ray audio playback a standard for all of our motherboards. All of GIGABYTE's 2011 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. 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.
