Multi-graphics configuration offers better graphics performance for gaming
enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on
resolution.
Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 4000MHz and Beyond*
GIGABYTE is offering a tested and proven platform that
ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 4000MHz and beyond. All users
need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory
module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on
GIGABYTE motherboard.
What is XMP?
DDR4 memory modules are available at a stock frequency of
2133MHz, but as frequency tweaking requires a considerable amount of effort and
knowledge, memory vendors encode XMP profiles which can automatically modify the
timings of the supported memory modules to work with your CPU and to achieve
increased performance.
* XMP Profile support may vary depending on memory module.
Please visit www.gigabyte.com to see the complete validated memory support list.
Product features may vary by model.
Supports RGB Light Strips in 7 Colors
Personalize your next PC rig to your liking by selecting
the color of your choice to illuminate the external RGB light strip. A total of
7 colors are available to make your system appearance unique!
* LED strips not included.
RGB Fusion (Advanced mode)
RGB Calibration
Different light strips sometimes have different RGB pin
definitions, RGB Fusion softwear can relocate each pin location for the best
compatibility.
Lighting Profile
Save, export and import profiles to quickly change effects
based on you perference and to share with others.
GIGABYTE Patented Double Locking Bracket
GIGABYTE Patented DualBIOS Design
GIGABYTE 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', protecting users from BIOS failure due to
virus, hardware malfunction, improper OC settings or power failure during the
update process.
START SULFURIZATION PROTECTION
Sulfur compounds in the air can penetrate tiny onboard resistors creating
chemical change and causing these resistors to open or short. If either of these
occurs the motherboard will fail to function. By equipping resistors with an
Anti-Sulfur Design GIGABYTE gives Ultra Durable Motherboards a whole new
meaning.
