                        | 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 Ultra Durable™ 4 Classic 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 GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 4 Classic motherboards use high quality IC microchips that are rated with  higher electro-static discharge (ESD) resistance than traditional IC  implementations. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 4 Classic motherboards use ICs with up to 3 times the ESD resistance levels compared to  traditional ICs. This helps to better protect the motherboard and its components  against potential damage caused by static electricity.

Using all solid capacitors for the  GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 4 Classic range both  reduces overall board temperatures while making the motherboard more robust at  higher temperatures. The choice of Lower RDS(on)  MOSFETs also helps to reduce operating temperatures significantly compared to  traditional MOSFET solutions. These component technologies combine to guarantee  enhanced longevity and stability for your PC.
