 In order to demonstrate the difference in volume, clarity and punch that our exclusive upgradable Operational Amplifier delivers, we went to a professional recording studio and made comparison recordings. Here is a side by side example comparing the waveforms of a track by Akiko Sunwani. The lower wave form represents the recording made using an Operational Amplifier, the upper waveform using a traditional motherboard audio configuration. As you can see, there is a very tangible difference, with the OP Amp offering a much louder, clearer listening experience, with greater definition between lows and high throughout the track..

Ultra Safe
 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 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.
High ESD Protection for USB and LAN

 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.
