website.
GIGABYTE DualBIOS ™ je patentovaná technologie, která automaticky obnoví data BIOS v případě, že došlo k poškození nebo selhal hlavní BIOS. 2 fyzické integrované paměti BIOS ROM, funkce GIGABYTE DualBIOS ™, umožňuje konzistentní obnovu paměti BIOS v případě poškození nebo selhání následkem viru nebo nepodařené aktualizace. Navíc nyní funkce GIGABYTE DualBIOS ™ podporuje pevné disky s kapacitou větší než 3 TB (terabajty) bez nutnosti rozdělení a umožňuje tak ukládání většího množství dat na samostatném pevném disku.
Technologie On/Off Charge
Technologie GIGABYTE On/Off Charge umožňuje nabíjení zařízeních iPhone, iPad a iPod Touch bez ohledu na to, zda je počítač zapnutý, v pohotovostním režimu, nebo dokonce vypnutý. Tato technologie vznikla na základě oceňovaného řešení 3x USB Power, umožňuje zařízení čerpat více proudu z USB portu základní desky a nabíjení tak může být téměř stejně rychlé jako při využití klasické nabíječky. Více informací zde.
Poznámka: Vhledem na určité omezení mobilních telefonů může být nutné připojit mobilní telefon k PC dříve, než PC přejde do režimu S4/S5, aby se umožnilo rychlé nabíjení z jiných USB portů, než jsou ON/OFF Charge. Rychlost nabíjení se může lišit podle modelu.

USB 3.0 Support
The GIGABYTE motherboards support the latest generation SuperSpeed
USB 3.0 technology made possible through an onboard USB3.0 host
controller. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are
able to experience an almost a 10x improvement over USB 2.0.
Additionally, backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 assures users of long
term use of their legacy USB 2.0 devices. The onboard SuperSpeed USB
3.0 technology also provides new power management features that include
increased maximum bus power and device current draw to better
accommodate power-hungry devices.

* USB 3.0 10x performance is a maximum theoretical value. Actual performance may vary by system configuration.
3x USB Power Boost
GIGABYTE motherboards feature a 3x USB power boost, delivering greater
compatibility and extra power for USB devices. GIGABYTE’s unique USB

108dB Signal-to-Noise ratio playback
GIGABYTE strongly believes that in 2011, HD audio playback is a standard specification, and as such, we have made Blu-ray audio playback a standard for all of our motherboards.
All of GIGABYTE's 2011 motherboards feature higher capability audio solution with 108dB Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) playback quality to deliver high-performance, multi-channel HD audio. SNR is a comparison of the amount of signal to the amount of noise such as hiss present in the signal (expressed in Decibels). A higher SNR equals a better audio experience. For example, 108dB, is a high audio specification, as this means the audio signal is 108dB higher than the level of the noise.
