GIGABYTE 8 Series Motherboards
GIGABYTE 8 Series motherboards support the latest 4th Generation Intel® Core™
processors, bringing together a unique blend of features and technologies that
offer the absolute ultimate platform for your next PC build. From high current
capable power delivery, performance-enhancing caching technologies, exclusive
high-end audio features, advanced networking and device charging, GIGABYTE 8
series motherboards are in a class of their own.
Next Gen Intel® 8 Series Platform
The latest Intel 8 Series platform offers significant improvements in
performance and power consumption with the latest 4th generation Intel® Core™
processors and Intel® H81 chipsets. As well as a boost in overall productivity,
the latest HD4600 Intel® processor graphics provide significantly higher frame
rates in the latest DX11 3D game titles.
GIGABYTE Ultra Durableâ„¢
GIGABYTE Ultra Durableâ„¢ 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 Solid Caps (Capacitors) for CPU VRM and Low RDS(on) MOSFETs
which are rated to work at higher temperatures to provide a longer lifespan.
High Quality Audio Capacitors
GIGABYTE Ultra Durableâ„¢ 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).
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.
High ESD Protection for USB and LAN (USB 3.0 only)
GIGABYTE 8 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 can withstand high electrostatic discharges, protecting
your system from common electrical surges and even direct lighting strikes.
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 8 series motherboards
provide native 4K support with integrated IntelHD
Graphics via HDMI.
HDMIâ„¢-The Next Generation Multimedia Interface
HDMIâ„¢ 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,
HDMIâ„¢ 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, HDMIâ„¢ is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection), allowing the playback of Blu-ray/HD DVD and other protected
media content.
On/Off Charge Technology
GIGABYTE 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.
*Whether
to support 3X USB power design, it may vary by models.
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.
GIGABYTE 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.
GIGABYTE EasyTune
GIGABYTE EasyTune provides a simple and easy-to-use interface that allows
users to fine-tune their system settings.
GIGABYTE Smart Fan 2
As well as offering more system fans than ever before, GIGABYTE 8 Series
motherboards feature updated and improved CPU and system fan speed controls,
with individual airflow and speed settings available via a dedicated digital
controller. GIGABYTE Smart Fan 2 allows you to configure CPU fans and system
fans.
GIGABYTE @BIOS
The new and updated GIGABYTE @BIOS app allows you to update your system's
BIOS from within Windows using a simple and slick graphical user interface by
automatically downloading the latest version from the GIGABYTE servers.
GIGABYTE EZ Setup
GIGABYTE EZ Setup combines several key utilities designed to simplify install
and configuration procedures for several exclusive GIGABYTE apps including Disk
Mode Switch, Smart Connect, EZ Rapid Start and EZ Smart response.
