Product features may vary by model.Photo for reference only. - Proteção Anti-Enxofre
nos ResistoresOs compostos de enxofre no ar podem penetrar nos pequenos resistores da placa e criar uma reação química fazendo com que estes resistores se abram ou sofram curtos. Se qualquer uma dessas situações acontecer a placa-mãe deixará de funcionar. Ao equipar os resistores com um anti-enxofre, a GIGABYTE oferece às placas-mãe Ultra Durable um significado totalmente inovador.Product features may vary by model.
Anti-sulfur product: An alloy layer has been
added to protect the silver layer and prevents
the sulfurization reaction from taking place.
Without the anti-sulfur layer: The electrode terminals
lack a protective layer, which means that oxygen or other environmental elements can penetrate the Ni (Nickel) layer causing a sulfurization reaction and degrade the ability for the electrode to conduct electricity properly.
Projeto patenteado DualBIOS ™ (UEFI) GIGABYTEAs placas-mãe GIGABYTE Ultra Durable ™ possuem o GIGABYTE DualBIOS ™, uma tecnologia exclusiva da GIGABYTE que protege indiscutivelmente um dos componentes mais importantes do seu PC, o BIOS. O GIGABYTE DualBIOS ™ significa que sua placa-mãe possui um "BIOS principal" e um "BIOS de backup", tornando os usuários protegidos da falha do BIOS devido a ataques de vírus, mau funcionamento do hardware, configurações de OC inadequadas ou falha de energia durante o processo de atualização.
Long Lifespan Durable Black™ Solid CapsGIGABYTE motherboards integrate the absolute best quality solid state capacitors that are rated to perform at maximum efficiency for extended periods, even in extreme performance configurations. With ultra-low ESR no matter how high the CPU load, this provides peace of mind for end users who want to push their system hard, yet demand absolute reliability and stability. These exclusive capacitors also come in customized jet black, exclusively on GIGABYTE motherboards.
15μ Gold Plated CPU Socket DesignGIGABYTE motherboards come equipped with a 15 micron thick 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 or bad contacts.
Turbo B-Clock
Built-in Advanced Performance Tuning ICThanks to the onboard Turbo B-Clock Tuning IC, GIGABYTE Z170X-Designare motherboards enable overclockers to have the ability to change their BCLK frequency to a desired value of their choice. With the new linear range adjustment option of the Tuning IC, ranges from 90MHz to 500MHz are now possible, so that overclockers are not limited to the 5% ranges of traditional straps.
*Turbo B-Clock overclocking range may vary according to CPU capabilities.
- 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 their 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. - High Definition Audio DesignThe Realtek ALC1150 is a high-performance multi-channel high definition audio codec that delivers an exceptional audio listening experience with up to 115dB SNR, ensuring users get the best possible audio quality from their PC.
High Quality audio capacitors deliver the highest quality sound resolution and sound expansion to create the most realistic sound effects for professional gamers.
