On/Off Charge TechnologyGIGABYTE On/Off Charge technology allows you to charge your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, regardless of whether your PC is on, in standby mode, or even off. A derivative of GIGABYTE's highly acclaimed 3x USB Power feature, On/Off Charge enables devices to draw more current from GIGABYTE motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow, so that charging from your PC can be as fast as with a charger. (*Due to certain mobile phone limitations, users may need to connect the mobile phone to their PC before the PC enters S4/S5 mode to enable a quick charge from non On/Off Charge USB ports. Charging results may vary by model. Support of the 3X USB power design may vary by model.)
