From high current capable power delivery, performance-enhancing caching technologies, exclusive high-end audio features, advanced networking and device charging, GIGABYTE 8 series motherboards are in a class of their own. The latest Intel 8 Series platform offers significant improvements in performance and power consumption with the latest 4th generation Intel Core processors and Intel H81 chipsets. As well as a boost in overall productivity, the latest HD4600 Intel processor graphics provide significantly higher frame rates in the latest DX11 3D game titles. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable debuts on GIGABYTE motherboards,with a range of features and component choices that provide record-breaking performance, cool and efficient operation and extended motherboard lifespan. GIGABYTE uses Solid Caps (Capacitors) for CPU VRM and Low RDS(on) MOSFETs which are rated to work at higher temperatures to provide a longer lifespan. Humidity can play havoc on a motherboard's circuitry.GIGABYTE's new Glass Fabric PCB design helps protect against electrical shorts due to humidity by reducing the gaps in spacing between PCB filaments. GIGABYTE also uses Anti-Surge ICs to protect the motherboard against power surges. GIGABYTE motherboards feature High Resistance ICs which help protect the motherboard against electrostatic discharge. There's no denying that the Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch have been a huge success and many of you may own one. However,both devices suffer from one small problem, they don't charge very fast when connected to your PC Specifications: Basic Information Supported CPU Support for Intel Core i7 processors/ Intel Core i5 processors/ Intel Core i3 processors/ Intel Pentium processors/ Intel Celeron processors in the LGA1150 package Chipset Intel H81 Express Chipset BIOS 1 x 32 Mbit flash Use of licensed AMI EFI BIOS PnP 1.0a, DMI 2.7, WfM 2.0, SM BIOS 2.7, ACPI 5.0 Form Factor Micro ATX Form Factor; 19.0cm x 17.0cm Expansion Slots PCI 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 1 x PCI Express x1 slot Memory Type Dual Channel Architecture Slots 2 x DDR3 DIMM sockets Supported Memory DDR3 1600/1333 MHz memory modules non-ECC memory modules Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules Maximum Mamory 16 GB Graphics Graphics 1 x D-Sub port, supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 Max Shared Memory 1 GB Connector & Ports USB (s) 2 x USB 3.0/2.0 ports 2 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports LAN Port (s) Realtek GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) 1 x RJ-45 port Supported Storage 2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors (SATA3 0~SATA3 1) 2 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATA2 2~SATA2 3) Audio Realtek ALC887 codec High Definition Audio 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel Internal I/O Ports 1 x 24-pin ATX main power connector 1 x 4-pin ATX 12V power connector 2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors 2 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors CPU fan header system fan header front panel header front panel audio header speaker header 2 x USB 2.0/1.1 headers 1 x chassis intrusion header 1 x Clear CMOS jumper D-Sub (s) 1 x D-Sub port Warranty Information Manufacturing Warranty 3 Years Others Special Features Q-Flash Xpress Install APP Center @BIOS EasyTune EZ Setup USB Blocker Support for ON/OFF Charge ..
