    Extended server level 168 hour Durability Test

    GIGABYTE Black Edition motherboards undergo an extra 168 hours (7 days) of stress testing before shipment to ensure premium quality for our customers.

    During the168 hour test, each motherboard needs to pass rigorous full system validation testing including Litecoin mining for 1 full week. GIGABYTE has built a custom testing facility at out Taiwan (Nanping) factory, capable of testing up to 3,000 motherboards at a time.

    Black Edition owners can register online to join the GIGABYTE Black Edition Members Club to receive exclusive membership benefits including an extended warranty period for their motherboard.

    A Certificate of Validation is included with every board, issued by the GIGABYTE factory and signed by the manufacturing VP & GM to indicate this board has passed our highest test standards.

    Photos will be taken at regular time intervals during the 168 hours test, and users can view them from the GIGABYTE website to see how their board is holding up under testing.
