Description

GIGABYTE AM1 motherboards are the latest range of next-generation desktop motherboards based on socket FS1b, supporting a new generation and high graphics efficiency of AM1 Athlon/Sempron-series APU, and also feature the latest specifications of native PCI Express gen 2.0, SATA 6Gb/s, USB3.0, etc. Not only delivering AMD's industry-leading performance and advanced graphics capabilities, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboards are equipped with a comprehensive range of high quality components and unique features that offer mainstream PC users the most compelling platform on the market today.

GA-AM1M-S2H (rev. 1.0) AMD AM1 chipset

  • Socket FS1b supports AMD AM1 Athlon/Sempron-series APU
  • GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ Technology
  • GIGABYTE UEFI BIOS
  • HDMI, D-sub ports for multi-display support
  • GIGABYTE On/Off Charge™ for USB devices
  • 2 USB 3.0 ports with GIGABYTE 3x USB power
  • High ESD Protection on GbE LAN and USB ports

Duo to AM1 is a brand-new SOC structure and CMOS function now is integrated into AM1 APU, so if APU is removed, users will lose date/time in BIOS and Windows. GIGABYTE exclusive has added a RTC IC to help maintain users' system clock settings without having to reset every time APU is removed.

HDMI is latest High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which is able to provide up to 5Gb/s video transmitting bandwidth and also 8-channel high quality audio. Via transmitting uncompressed digital data, HDMI is able to reduce signal interference as transferring between digital and analog signal, seen and heard, direct from the source. In addition, HDMI is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which allowing playback of Blu-ray/ HD DVD and other protected contents.

4K resolution is the next technological milestone in high-definition content delivery, utilizing approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than four times today's standard HD pixel density. GIGABYTE AM1 series motherboards provide native 4K support with AM1 APU integrated graphics via HDMI port.

GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ debuts on GIGABYTE motherboards, with a range of features and component choices that provide record-breaking performance, cool and efficient operation and extended motherboard lifespan.

  • Gigabyte Ultra Durable

    Gigabyte Ultra Durable debuts on Gigabyte motherboards, with a range of features and component choices that provide record-breaking performance, cool and efficient operation and extended motherboard lifespan.
  • Ultra performance

    Gigabyte uses solid caps (capacitors) for APU VRM and low RDS (on) MOSFETS which are rated to work at higher temperatures to provide a longer lifespan.
  • Humidity protection

    Humidity can play havoc on a motherboard's circuitry. Gigabyte's glass fabric PCB design helps protect against electrical shorts due to humidity by reducing the gaps in spacing between PCB filaments.
  • Power failure protection

    Gigabyte also uses anti-surge ICs to protect the motherboard against power surges.
  • Electrostatic protection

    Gigabyte motherboards feature high resistance ICs which help protect the motherboard against electrostatic discharge.
  • On/Off Charge technology

    Gigabyte On/Off Charge technology allows you to charge your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch regardless of whether your PC is on, in standby mode or even off. A derivative of Gigabyte's highly acclaimed 3x USB power feature, On/Off Charge enables devices to draw more current from Gigabyte motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow, so that charging from your PC can be as fast as with a charger... more
  • ErP Lot 6 support

    The ErP (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, and how to improve energy efficiency for a better and greener life. Gigabyte supports ErP and produces motherboards that help you effectively improve system efficiency.
