to the computer.

HotSpot

HotSpot turns your computer into a virtual

wireless access point and allows you to share

your connection with your other wireless

devices.

5x (15μ) Gold Plated CPU Socket Design

GIGABYTE 9 Series motherboards come equipped with a gold plated CPU socket, which means

that enthusiasts can enjoy absolute reliability and longevity for the CPU socket overtime, without

having any concerns about corroded pins and bad contacts.

GIGABYTE Patented DualBIOS™ (UEFI) Design

GIGABYTE 9 series Ultra Durable™ motherboards feature

GIGABYTE DualBIOS™, an exclusive technology from

GIGABYTE that protects arguably one of your PC’s most crucial

components, the BIOS. GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ means that

your motherboard has both a ‘Main BIOS’ and a ‘Backup BIOS’,

making users protected from BIOS failure due to virus attack,

hardware malfunction, improper OC settings or power failure

during the update process.

ESD Protection for USB and LAN

GIGABYTE 9 Series motherboards raise the bar in terms of protecting your system, providing

advanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for both your Ethernet LAN and USB ports, both

common sources of ESD-related failures. Each LAN and USB port is paired with a dedicated

protection filter that can withstand high electrostatic discharges, protecting your system from

common electrical surges and even direct lighting strikes.

Power Failure Protection with Anti-Surge IC

GIGABYTE 9 series Ultra Durable™ motherboards also feature special anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard, and your PC

from any surge in power delivery that may occur, helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially irregular

and inconsistent power delivery.

Humidity Protection with New Glass Fabric PCB

There is nothing more harmful to the longevity of your PC than moisture, and most parts of the world experience moisture in the air

as humidity at some point during the year. GIGABYTE 9 series motherboards have been designed to make sure that humidity is

never an issue, incorporating a new Glass Fabric PCB technology that repels moisture caused by humid and damp conditions.

Glass Fabric PCB technology uses a new PCB material which reduces the amount of space between the fiber weave, making it

much more difficult for moisture to penetrate compared to traditional motherboard PCBs. This offers much better protection from

short circuit and system malfunction caused by humid and damp conditions.

4K Ultra HD Support

4K resolution is the next technological milestone in high-definition content delivery, utilizing

approximately 4,000 pixels on the horizontal axis, more than four times today's standard HD pixel

density. GIGABYTE motherboards provide native 4K support with integrated Intel® HD Graphics

via HDMI.

HDMI™-The Next Generation Multimedia Interface

HDMI™ is a High-Definition Multimedia Interface which provides up to 5Gb/s video transmitting

bandwidth and 8-channel high quality audio all through a single cable. Able to transmit superior,

uncompressed digital video and audio, HDMI™ ensures the crispest rendering of digital content

up to 1080p without the quality losses associated with analog interfaces and their digital-to-analog

conversion. In addition, HDMI™ is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), allowing the playback of Blu-

ray/HD DVD and other protected media content.
