Introduction GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards are designed to unite unrivalled desktop PC performance with a new level of flexibility & hardware control. Based on the latest Intel X79 Express Chipset, supporting the new LGA 2011 Intel Core™ i 7 processors, GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards bring DIY builders to a new area of performance-oriented computing. GIGABYTE 3D Power (patent pending) GIGABYTE X79 series motherboards are the first to take advantage of the exclusive GIGABYTE 3D Power, an all new hardware & software-based Digital Power Engine for both the PWM & Memory that delivers unprecedented power delivery control. All New Digital Power Control for the CPU & Memory Utilizing a brand new Digital PWM controller, GIGABYTE's 3D Power features precise Auto Voltage Compensation to deliver a steady flow of power to the CPU & memory no matter the loading. This all new, all digital power system provides enthusiast users with exceptional control over the overclocking potential of their GIGABYTE X79 motherboard. GIGABYTE is the first in the industry to utilize digital memory controllers for not only the Memory, but VTT & VSA, for real-time monitoring & adjusting. Digital memory control allows users to monitor & record DDR power & current in real-time while gaming, overclocking or at idle. Users can also set OVP (Over Voltage Protection) to safeguard your memory, adjust memory Load-line Calibration to fix memory vdrooping for a quicker response time & adjust memory PWM frequency on-the-fly. GIGABYTE 3D Power (patent pending) Utility Users can now enjoy a fully interactive 3D utility that facilitates adjustment of the 3

Dimensions that control the power delivery to your CPU & Memory: Voltage, Phase & Frequency. These parameters are crucial to how the digital PWM supplies power to critical areas of the motherboard & can help users quickly obtain the highest, most stable overclock. 3D Power: Voltage Control Voltage parameters can be modified within 3D Power, including load line calibration the of CPU. By adjusting load line calibration, Vdrooping can be avoided, maintaining optimal voltages levels despite increasing current levels. OVP (over voltage protection) can also be adjusted to change default protection range of the CPU, memory controller, VTT & system memory. 3D Power: Phase Control Users can calibrate OCP (Over Current Protection) for the CPU, integrated memory controller & system memory power levels. This allows the Phase control to deliver even more power to the system when needed. 3D Power: Frequency Control GIGABYTE's digital PWM allows for adjustable frequency control via the International Rectifier (IR3567) PWM controller. 3D Power frequency control allows users to change the PWM controller frequency so that the CPU VRM can adjust power delivery speeds more quickly.
