DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology)
3TB+(terabyte) HDD support is an essential new feature for 2011, and has been one of the most talked about technologies accompanying the launch of the new Socket 1155 6 series motherboards. GIGABYTE supports booting from 3TB+ HDDs on all currently shipping motherboards through GIGABYTE’s unique Hybrid EFI Technology. Hybrid EFI Technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE’s mature BIOS platform including stability and compatibility with 3rd party products with 3TB+ HDD support from EFI technology, allowing GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds.
GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ is a patented technology that automatically recovers BIOS data when the main BIOS has crashed or failed. Featuring 2 physical BIOS ROMs integrated onboard, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ allows quick and seamless recovery from BIOS damage or failure due to viruses or improper BIOS updating. In addition, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ now supports 3TB+ hard drive booting without the need for partitioning, and enables more data storage on a single hard drive. |

Japanese Solid Capacitors |
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ motherboards are equipped with solid capacitors developed by leading Japanese manufacturers. With an average lifespan of 50,000 hours, these solid capacitors provide the stability, reliability and longevity essential to meet the power needs of high-end processors and other components running today’s most demanding applications and games. |

1 year = 24 hr. x 365 days = 8,760 hr.
5 years = 8,760 hr. x 5 = 43,800 hr. |
| * 50,000 hr. work time is calculated at 85°C temperature. |

What are Solid Capacitors?
Solid capacitors and electrolytic capacitors both store electricity and discharge it when needed. The difference is that solid capacitors contain a solid organic polymer, while electrolytic capacitors use a liquid electrolyte. |

Solid capacitor
Separator sheet (electrolyte) impregnated with conductive polymer
Solid capacitors are composed of highly electro-conductive polymer that dramatically improve stability and reliability. |
|
Aluminum Electrolyte Capacitor
Separator sheet (electrolyte) impregnated with electrolytic solution that can become unreliable as it heats up. |
