High quality audio capacitors
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboard uses high quality Nippon Chemicon ARE series audio capacitors. These professional audio capacitors deliver a super high quality sound resolution and sound expansion to create realistic sound effects for user experience. -
2x copper PCB design
GIGABYTE's exclusive 2x copper PCBs design provides sufficient power trace paths between components to handle greater than normal power loads and to remove heat from the critical CPU power delivery area. It is essential to ensure the motherboard is able to handle the increased power loading that is necessary when overclocking. -
Long lifespan solid capacitors
GIGABYTE motherboard integrates the absolute quality solid state capacitors that are rated to perform at maximum efficiency for extended periods, even in extreme performance configurations. This provides peace of mind for end users who want to push their system hard, yet demand absolute reliability and stability. -
GIGABYTE patented DualBIOS (UEFI) design
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboard features GIGABYTE DualBIOS, an exclusive technology from GIGABYTE that protects arguably one of your PC's 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 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 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. -
Alternative heat sink design
GIGABYTE motherboard features an alternative heat sink design that offers uncompromisingly efficient cooling on key areas of the motherboard including the PWM area and chipset (PCH). GIGABYTE motherboard offers cooling support of the crucial PWM area so even very aggressive and extreme configurations will be kept well within optimal thermal parameters.
