Ultra Durable PCIe Metal Shielding
The advanced one-piece stainless-steel shielding design from GIGABYTE reinforces the PCIe connectors to provide the extra strength required to support heavy graphics cards.
High-definition audio design
The Realtek ALC1150 is a high-performance multi-channel high-definition audio codec that delivers an exceptional audio listening experience, ensuring users get amazing audio quality from their PC. High-quality audio capacitors deliver high-quality sound resolution and sound expansion to create realistic sound effects for professional gamers.
Ambient LED
GIGABYTE motherboards feature LED lighting for the audio guard path, providing a cool, custom look to your rig. Not only does the Audio Noise Guard protect the board's sensitive analog audio components, but its LEDs can also be programed to beat at the rhythm of the music you are listening to, or pulse at a soothing pace to create a great atmosphere to enhance the environment of your game, movie or music.
Clean, low-noise power for your digital-to-analog audio converter
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 great audio experience.
GIGABYTE DualBIOS design
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboards feature GIGABYTE DualBIOS, an excellent technology from GIGABYTE that protects arguably one of your PC's most crucial components, the BIOS. GIGABYTE DualBIOS means that your motherboard has both main BIOS and backup BIOS, making users protected from BIOS failure due to virus attack, hardware malfunction, improper OC settings or power failure during the update process.
