Description

• Extreme Multi-GPU support

  Flexible graphics capabilities supported for either CrossFire action, delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution.

• M.2 onboard connector

  Gigabyte 9 series motherboard comes equipped with an onboard M.2 slot, providing users PCI-Express connectivity for SSD devices. Delivering up to 10 Gb/s data transfer speeds, M.2 offers users considerably faster storage performance than current mSATA and even SATA Revision 3 (6 Gb/s) storage devices.

• SATA Express connector

  SATA Express interface provides multiple PCI Express lanes and 2 SATA 3.0 6 Gb/s ports, exposed through the same connector, allowing use of both PCI Express and SATA storage devices. Exposed PCI Express lanes are providing a pure PCI Express connection to the storage device, without any additional layers of abstraction.

• Intel Gigabit LAN

  Intel Gigabit LAN networking, a popular choice with gamers that features several performance-enhancing features such as advanced interrupt handling to help reduce CPU overhead and Jumbo Frame support for extra large data packets.

• cFosSpeed

  Gigabyte motherboard features cFos Speed, a network traffic management application which helps to improve network latency, maintaining low ping times to deliver better responsiveness in a crowded LAN environment. cFos Speed works in a similar way to an OS driver, monitoring network traffic packets at the application layer, allowing optimization and improved network performance for specific applications.

• Built-in rear audio amplifier

  Specially designed for gamers, Gigabyte 9 series Ultra Durable motherboard utilizes a high-capacity amplifier, giving gamers a fuller range of dynamic sound with crisper details and less distortion when using high quality professional headphones.

• 5x gold plated CPU socket design

  Gigabyte 9 series motherboard comes equipped with a gold plated CPU socket, which means that enthusiasts can enjoy absolute reliability and longevity for the CPU socket overtime, without having any concerns about corroded pins and bad contacts.

• Gigabyte DualBIOS (UEFI) design

  Gigabyte 9 series Ultra Durable motherboard features Gigabyte DualBIOS, an exclusive technology from Gigabyte that protects arguably one of your PC's most crucial components, the BIOS. Gigabyte DualBIOS means that your motherboard has both a 'Main BIOS' and a 'Backup BIOS', making users protected from BIOS failure due to virus attack, hardware malfunction, improper OC settings or power failure during the update process.

• ESD protection for USB and LAN

  Gigabyte 9 series motherboard raises the bar in terms of protecting your system, providing advanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for both your Ethernet LAN and USB ports, both common sources of ESD-related failures. Each LAN and USB port is paired with a dedicated protection filter that can withstand high electrostatic discharges, protecting your system from common electrical surges and even direct lighting strikes.

• Power failure protection with anti-surge IC

  Gigabyte 9 series Ultra Durable motherboard also features special anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard, and your PC from any surge in power delivery that may occur, helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially irregular and inconsistent power delivery.

• Humidity protection with Glass Fabric PCB

  There is nothing more harmful to the longevity of your PC than moisture, and most parts of the world experience moisture in the air as humidity at some point during the year. Gigabyte 9 series motherboard has been designed to make sure that humidity is never an issue, incorporating a Glass Fabric PCB technology that repels moisture caused by humid and damp conditions. Glass Fabric PCB technology uses a PCB material which reduces the amount of space between the fiber weave, making it much more difficult for moisture to penetrate compared to traditional motherboard PCBs. This offers much better protection from short circuit and system malfunction caused by humid and damp conditions.

• Heat sink design

  Gigabyte 9 series motherboard features heat sink designs that offer uncompromisingly efficient cooling on key areas of the motherboard including the PWM area and chipset (PCH). Gigabyte 9 series motherboard offers cooling support of the crucial PWM area so even the most aggressive and extreme configurations will be kept well within optimal thermal parameters.

• Gigabyte OPT fan support

  Gigabyte 9 series motherboard features OPT fan support, an additional CPU fan pin header that can be used to connect a water pump and configured for continuous full speed operation. The OPT fan is also useful for high performance coolers employing two fans.

• 4K Ultra HD support

  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 the standard HD pixel density. Gigabyte motherboard provides native 4K support with integrated Intel HD Graphics via HDMI.

• DVI support

  DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video interface standard designed for carrying uncompressed digital video data and to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices, such as LCD monitors, digital projectors, and so on. In addition, the DVI interface is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).

• Intel small business advantage

  Gigabyte motherboard possesses a range of features that are designed to offer vastly improved and simplified control over unmanaged IT infrastructure, with specific focus on security, data backup and raising productivity levels overall.
