ultimate in graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without

compromising on resolution.

APP Center

GIGABYTE APP Center gives you easy access to wealth of GIGABYTE apps that help you get the

most from your GIGABYTE motherboard. Using a simple, unified user interface, GIGABYTE APP

Center allows you to launch all GIGABYTE apps installed on your system.

EasyTune™

• Smart Quick Boost provides users with different levels of CPU

frequencies to choose to achieve desired system performance.

• Advanced CPU OC allows users to set CPU base clock,

frequency, and voltages, and integrated graphics

frequency.

• Advanced DDR OC allows users to set the memory clock. • 3D Power allows users to change power phase, voltage,

and frequency settings.

HomeCloud allows users to share the files

between your smart phone/tablet device

and computer or back up the files from the

device to the computer.

HotSpot

HotSpot turns your computer into a virtual

wireless access point and allows you to share

your connection with your other wireless

devices.

GIGABYTE Remote

GIGABYTE Remote allows users to

remotely control the mouse /

keyboard / Windows Media Player

on your computer from your smart

phone/tablet device.

Remote OC

Remote OC allows users to remotely control their desktop

PC with a powerful suite of software functions that Include

overclocking and system tweaking, system monitoring plus

the ability to also remotely power down/reset the PC when

needed.

Auto Green

Auto Green is an easy-to-use tool that provides users with simple

options to enable system power savings via a Bluetooth-enabled

smart phone/tablet devices. When the device is out of the range

of the computer's Bluetooth receiver, the system will enter the

specified power saving mode.

LAN Optimizer - Intelligent optimization network management tool GIGABYTE LAN Optimizer is designed to allow the user to manage different types of network

traffic so that data streams such as HD media, web browsing or online gaming can be prioritized,

taking precedence over large data downloads that tend to strangle overall network bandwidth.

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.

GIGABYTE Patented DualBIOS™ (UEFI) Design

GIGABYTE 9 series Ultra Durable™ 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.

ESD Protection for USB and LAN

GIGABYTE 9 Series motherboards raise the bar in terms of protecting your system, providing advanced

electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for both your Ethernet LAN and USB ports, both common

sources of ESD-related failures. Each LAN and USB port is paired with a dedicated protection filter that

can withstand high electrostatic discharges, protecting your system from common electrical surges and

even direct lighting strikes.

Power Failure Protection with Anti-

Surge IC

GIGABYTE 9 series Ultra Durable™

motherboards also feature special anti-surge

ICs that protect your motherboard, and your

PC from any surge in power delivery that may

occur, helping to ensure that your PC is

equipped to deal with any potentially

irregular and inconsistent power delivery.

Humidity Protection with New Glass Fabric PCB

There is nothing more harmful to the longevity of your PC than moisture, and most parts of the world experience moisture in the air as

humidity at some point during the year. GIGABYTE 9 series motherboards have been designed to make sure that humidity is never an

issue, incorporating a new Glass Fabric PCB technology that repels moisture caused by humid and damp conditions.

Glass Fabric PCB technology uses a new PCB material which reduces the amount of space between the fiber weave, making it much more

difficult for moisture to penetrate compared to traditional motherboard PCBs. This offers much better protection from short circuit and

system malfunction caused by humid and damp conditions.

All New Heat Sink Design

GIGABYTE 9 series motherboards feature new heat sink

designs that offer uncompromisingly efficient cooling on

key areas of the motherboard including the PWM area

and chipset (PCH). GIGABYTE 9 Series motherboards

offer cooling support of the crucial PWM area so even the

most aggressive and extreme configurations will be kept

well within optimal thermal parameters.

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 5Gb/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.

DVI Support

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video interface standard designed for carrying uncompressed digital video data and to maximize the

visual quality of digital display devices, such as LCD monitors, digital projectors, and so on. In addition, the DVI interface is compatible

with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
