Description

• Industry leading 32+3+2 phase CPU power design

  The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 motherboard delivers some serious amount of power through its 32+3+2 power phase design. Featuring the GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 5 technology with high current capable components including 60 A rated PowIRstages from IR, the Z77X-UP7 is able to deliver an astonishing 2000 W of power delivery.

• True all digital PWM design

  The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 motherboard takes advantage of an exclusive All digital engine to deliver maximum power to Intel Core processor. Using entirely digital controllers means that more precise power delivery to the motherboard's most power hungry and energy sensitive components is possible.

• GIGABYTE 3D power utility

  Users can enjoy a fully interactive 3D utility that facilitates adjustment of the 3 dimensions that control the power delivery to your CPU and memory: voltage, phase and frequency. These parameters are crucial to how the digital PWM supplies power to critical areas of the motherboard and can help users quickly obtain the highest, most stable overclock.

• 3D power: voltage control

  Voltage parameters can be modified within 3D power, including load line calibration of the CPU. By adjusting load line calibration, Vdroop can be avoided, maintaining optimal voltages levels despite increasing current levels. OVP (over voltage protection) can also be adjusted to change default protection range of the CPU, IGP, VTT and system memory.

• 3D power: phase control

  Users can calibrate OCP (Over Current Protection) for the CPU, integrated memory controller and system memory power levels. This allows the Phase control to deliver even more power to the system when needed.

• 3D power: frequency control

  GIGABYTE's all digital PWM allows for adjustable frequency control via the International Rectifier PWM controller. 3D power frequency control allows users to change the PWM controller frequency so that the CPU VRM can adjust power delivery speeds more quickly. Users can also adjust the PWM spectrum or maximum and minimum overall frequencies.

• GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 5

  The GIGABYTE motherboard employ award winning GIGABYTE ultra Durable 5 technology that includes high current capable components for the CPU power zone including IR3550 PowIRstage ICs from international rectifier, high current ferrite core chokes rated up to 60 A, which together are able to deliver high cooler temperatures than traditional motherboards.

• 4-way graphics

  The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7 delivers the industry's most scalable graphics platform, with support for both 4-way ATI CrossfireX and Nvidia SLI. Providing 4 PCI Express 3.0 connectivity, the Z77X-UP7 delivers ultra smooth 3D rendering, blazing-fast frame rates and enhanced graphics capabilities for users wanting to get the highest level of graphics performance from their system.

• GIGABYTE 3D BIOS

  GIGABYTE has completely re-drawn the traditional BIOS experience, providing mainstream and enthusiast users with an exclusive in-house designed UEFI BIOS technology. Featuring a superior graphical interface capable of 32-bit color imaging and fluid user-friendly mouse navigation, GIGABYTE 3D mode allows novice or casual users to more clearly understand the areas of the motherboard that are being affected through the BIOS settings, gaining a clearer understanding of the BIOS functionality. Advanced Mode provides a more comprehensive UEFI BIOS environment that is designed specifically for overclockers and power users who want maximum control over their PC's hardware.

• Dual UEFI BIOS

  At the heart of this exciting 3D BIOS technology is a pair of physical BIOS ROMs containing GIGABYTE's exclusive in-house designed Dual UEFI BIOS technology, featuring the patented GIGABYTE DualBIOS technology that automatically recovers BIOS data when main BIOS has crashed or failed.

• BIOS switcher

  With onboard BIOS switcher, users can manually select which BIOS chip to use, allowing them to select one BIOS for normal use, and the other specifically for overclocking. Users can also easily compare two different BIOS versions, a very useful feature when users want to update to a new BIOS, but don't want to lose their original settings.

• Thin fin cooling design

  GIGABYTE has created a "thin fin" heatsink design featuring the GIGABYTE signature OC Orange look and feel for its latest flagship motherboard. Featuring ultra thin metal fins, the heatsink provides greater surface area so that quicker heat exchange can occur.

• GIGABYTE 333 Onboard Acceleration

  GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards feature GIGABYTE 333 Onboard Acceleration, a range of the technologies that are designed help speed up data transfer, including SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology, SATA Revision 3.0 (6 Gbps) technology and an unprecedented USB power boost on all USB ports for more power hungry USB devices.

• GIGABYTE on/off charge

  GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards feature on/off charge, a unique GIGAYTE 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.

• Onboard mSATA support

  GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards feature an onboard mSATA slot allowing users to easily take advantage of advanced SSD-based technologies like Intel Smart Response and Intel Rapid Start. Mounting an affordable, low capacity mSATA SSD directly onto your motherboard can enhance your PC's performance with better overall desktop responsiveness, faster boot times and faster system resume from 'suspend to disk' and 'standby' modes.

• Exclusive Bluetooth 4.0/Wi-Fi expansion card

  The motherboard also includes an exclusive PCIe expansion card that offers support for the latest Bluetooth 4.0 and IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity. The Bluetooth 4.0 standard includes Smart Ready technology that is debuting on mobile devices. This means that transferring important content from your smart phone or tablet is easier and faster than ever.

• Lucid universal MVP support

  GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards support Lucid Virtu GPU virtualization technologies - optimized virtualization software that improves your PC's visuals, with faster response times, improved video processing and smoother media playback, all within a low power environment. Lucid universal MVP also features high-performance, which eliminates redundant rendering tasks and predicts potential synchronization issues in the graphics delivery pipeline, producing faster frame rates, sharper visuals and reduced tearing.
