• Gigabyte 333 Onboard Acceleration

  Gigabyte X79 series motherboards feature Gigabyte 333 Onboard Acceleration, a range of the latest technologies that are designed help speed up data transfer, including SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology, SATA revision 3.0 technology and an unprecedented 3x USB power boost on all USB ports for more power hungry USB devices.

• 3x USB power boost

  Gigabyte motherboards feature a 3x USB power boost, delivering greater compatibility and extra power for USB devices. Gigabyte's unique USB power design is also able to efficiently regulate output over the full voltage range, which greatly enhances USB device compatibility. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure lower voltage drops, and provide more stable and plentiful power delivery.

• SuperSpeed USB 3.0

  Gigabyte motherboards boast SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through an additional onboard host controller. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience a theoretical 10x improvement over USB 2.0. Additionally, backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 assures users of long term use of their legacy USB 2.0 devices.

• SATA 6 Gbps

  Gigabyte motherboards are high-speed SATA Revision 3.0 compatible, delivering superfast 6 Gbps link speeds for twice the data transfer rates of SATA revision 2.0 (3 Gbps). When used in RAID 0 (stripe) mode, they offer even faster data transfer rates of up to a theoretical 4x the speed of current SATA interfaces.

• Gigabyte on/off charge

  Gigabyte X79 series motherboards feature on/off charge, a unique Gigabyte technology which allows you not only to charge your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, but also allows you to quick charge it. As an added bonus, it can even be charged when your PC is turned off, so even if you forget to plug it into your charger after you've synced up your music, it will be fully charged when you need it.

• Gigabyte Ultra Durable 3

  Gigabyte X79 motherboards are equipped with the high quality components that guarantee lower system temperatures, improved energy efficiency and enhanced stability for overclocking. Gigabyte Ultra Durable 3 design features 2 ounces of copper for both the power and ground layers which dramatically lower system temperature. Gigabyte's Ultra Durable 3 also features Japanese made solid capacitors, PowerPAK MOSFETs and ferrite chokes which combine to offer lower motherboard temperatures, less wasted power and extended product longevity.
