Leveraging the success of the GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 3 design with 2x copper PCB and delivering a host of innovative technologies including the unique GIGABYTE 3x USB Power circuitry design, GIGABYTE 7 series motherboards set a new standard in engineering and design. With your first press of the power button, you will see why the GIGABYTE 7 series sits at the top of its class.

Industry's First 24 Phase Power VRM Design
GIGABYTE's cutting edge 24 phase power VRM design utilizes the highest caliber components to provide unadulterated, smooth power delivery for the CPU. Like a high performance sports car engine, GIGABYTE's 24 phase power design enables the best delivery of power to supercharge your system, giving extreme users unparalleled overclocking ability and the lowest temperatures to reach maximum performance levels.
The innovative 24 phase power VRM has been designed and engineered to deliver fast transient response times through quick and seamless power delivery during extensive CPU loading variations. In addition, heat from the VRM is effectively reduced by spreading the load between the 24 power phases, resulting in a cooler and more stable platform.
