Supports AMD AM3+ FX / AM3 series Processors GIGABYTE Ultra Durable Technology Audio Noise Guard with High Quality Audio Capacitors GIGABYTE UEFI DualBIOS Two-way CrossFire Support Four USB 3.0 ports with transfer rates of up to 5Gbps GIGABYTE On/Off Charge for USB devices High Quality Audio Capacitors GIGABYTE Ultra Durable motherboards use high quality Nippon Chemicon ARE series audio capacitors. These professional audio capacitors deliver the highest quality sound resolution and sound expansion to create the most realistic sound effects for user experience.

Dedicated Audio Hardware Zone + Separation on the PCB layer protects the board's sensitive analog audio components. + Separate analog and digital ground to protect against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). GIGABYTE Ultra Durable GIGABYTE Ultra Durable debuts on GIGABYTE motherboards, with a range of features and component choices that provide record-breaking performance, cool and efficient operation and extended motherboard lifespan. Ultra Performance GIGABYTE uses All Solid Caps (Capacitors) and Low RDS (on) MOSFETs which are rated to work at higher temperatures to provide a longer lifespan. Ultra SafeGIGABYTE UEFI DualBIOS GIGABYTE motherboards feature GIGABYTE DualBIOS, an exclusive technology from GIGABYTE that protects arguably one of your PC's most crucial components, the BIOS.

GIGABYTE DualBIOS means that your motherboard has both a 'Main BIOS' and a 'Backup BIOS', making users protected from BIOS failure due to virus attack, hardware malfunction, improper OC settings or power failure during the update process. Humidity Protection Humidity can play havoc on a motherboard's circuitry. GIGABYTE's new Glass Fabric PCB design helps protect against electrical shorts due to humidity by reducing the gaps in spacing between PCB filaments. Power Failure Protection GIGABYTE also uses Anti-Surge ICs to protect the motherboard against power surges. Electrostatic Protection GIGABYTE motherboards feature High Resistance ICs which help protect the motherboard against electrostatic discharge.

Multi-Display Support with AMD CrossFire Flexible graphics capabilitiesUp to two VGA cards are supported for two-way AMD CrossFire (running at x16, x4 bandwidth), delivering the ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution. ErP Lot 6 Support The ErP (also known as Energy-Related Products Directive) is part of the European Union's environmental regulations policy. It is based on concern for the environmental as the proliferation of electronic devices continues, and how to improve energy efficiency for a better and greener life. GIGABYTE supports ErP and produces motherboards that help you effectively improve system efficiency.
