SBX Pro Studio suite of audio playback technologies deliver a new level of audio immersion. Realistic surround sound, the ability to clearly hear specific sounds in a gaming environment are just a few elements of SBX Pro Studio that enhances the overall experience, be it movies, games or music. -
High end audio capacitors
Gigabyte G1 Gaming motherboards use high end, Nichicon audio capacitors. These professional audio capacitors deliver the highest quality sound resolution and sound expansion to create the most realistic sound effects for professional gamers. -
Gold plated audio hardware
Gigabyte G1 Gaming motherboards pack top quality gold plated audio and HDMI connectors for improved connectivity and long lasting durability. Gold has superb signal conductivity and will not tarnish over extended periods of use. The Creative Sound Core3D processor is also shielded by a gold plated cover which eliminates electrostatic interference. -
Dual DAC-UP USB ports
Featuring dual USB 2.0 ports, Gigabyte USB DAC-UP provides clean, noise-free power delivery to your digital-to-analog converter. DACs can be sensitive to fluctuations in power from the other USB ports, which is why Gigabyte USB DAC-UP takes advantage of an isolated power source that minimizes potential fluctuations and ensures the best audio experience possible. -
No lag, just frag
Gigabyte G1 Gaming motherboards feature the Killer E2200 from Qualcomm Atheros, a high-performance, adaptive gigabit Ethernet controller that offers better online gaming and online media performance compared to standard solutions. -
Intel Gigabit LAN
Intel Gigabit LAN networking, a popular choice with gamers, delivers several performance-enhancing features such as advanced interrupt handling to help reduce CPU overhead and Jumbo Frame support for extra large data packets. -
Integrated 2T2R dual band IEEE802.11ac Wi-Fi + BT 4.0
This motherboard comes with an exclusive IEEE802.11ac Wi-Fi module that supports up to 867 Mbps wireless networks and Bluetooth 4.0. IEEE802.11ac Wi-Fi runs at up to 867 Mbit/s and the bundled 2.4 GHz/5 GHz dual-band, 2T2R antenna gives you wide coverage. -
Extreme multi-GPU support
Flexible graphics capabilities supported for either 4-way CrossFire or 4-way SLI action, delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution. -
SATA Express connector
Gigabyte motherboards feature an onboard SATA Express connector which provides performance far superior to that of current SATA technologies. SATA Express features data transfer rates of up to 10 Gb/s, considerably higher than SATA Revision 3 (6 Gb/s), which won't bottleneck faster NAND flash technologies in cutting edge SSDs. SATA Express combines the benefits of PCI-Express and SATA to provide much higher bandwidth, allowing SATA Express based drives to perform at similar speeds as PCI-Express based drives. -
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 today's standard HD pixel density. Gigabyte motherboards provide native 4K support with integrated Intel HD Graphics via HDMI. -
HDMI - the next generation multimedia interface
HDMI is a high-definition multimedia interface which provides up to 5 Gb/s video transmitting bandwidth and 8-channel high quality audio all through a single cable. Able to transmit superior, uncompressed digital video and audio, HDMI ensures the crispest rendering of digital content up to 1080p without the quality losses associated with analog interfaces and their digital-to-analog conversion. In addition, HDMI is compatible with HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection), allowing the playback of Blu-ray/HD DVD and other protected media content. -
Gigabyte OPT fan support
Gigabyte 9 series motherboards feature 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. -
10K Durable Black soild caps
Gigabyte 9 series motherboards integrate the absolute best quality solid state capacitors that are rated to perform at maximum efficiency for a guaranteed minimum of 10K hours. Not only do they provide ultra-low ESR no matter how high the CPU loading, they also come in customized jet black from Nippon Chemi-Con and Nichicon. -
5x (15µ) gold plated CPU socket design
Gigabyte 9 series motherboards come 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.
