GIGABYTE Super4™ motherboards are the latest range of next-generation desktop motherboards based on the Intel® H61 Express Chipset with support for 2nd generation 'Sandy Bridge' Intel® Core™ CPUs. Not only delivering Intel's industry-leading performance and advanced integrated graphics capabilities, GIGABYTE Super4™ motherboards are equipped with a comprehensive range of unique features that offer mainstream PC users the most compelling platform on the market today.

Wszystkie płyty główne GIGABYTE z serii Super4™ zostały wyposażone w technologie, czuwające nad ich bezproblemowym i długotrwałym funkcjonowaniem. Można tutaj zaliczyć autorskie rozwiązanie GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ polegające na zaimplementowaniu na płycie dwóch układów BIOS, z których jeden pełni funkcję głównego a drugi zapasowego. Układ zapasowy, w razie usterki, automatycznie przejmie funkcje głównego BIOS’u, pozwalając na bezawaryjne działanie płyty głównej. Dodatkowo, każdy port USB na płytach Gigabyte z serii Super4, posiada dedykowany bezpiecznik, zapobiegający przepięciom a tym samym chroniący podłączone urządzenia peryferyjne przed uszkodzeniem. Aby jeszcze wydłużyć czas użytkowania płyt głównych, zastosowano najwyższej jakości kondensatory aluminiowo – polimerowe zapewniające do 50 000 godzin pracy!

GIGABYTE Super Speed ensures that you're always on the cusp of PC performance, data transfer and device charging speeds. An integrated overclocking chip coupled with GIGABYTE's unique Ultra Durable™ 2 power technology, makes sure that your Intel ^® Core™ processor is running at optimal performance levels. Additionally, GIGABYTE 3x USB power means better device compatibility and faster charging on USB connected devices like portable storage devices without needing to use two USB ports. The additional power provided by 3 x USB allows iPad, iPhone and iPod devices to charge up to 40% faster compared to standard USB implementations, while On/Off charge allows fast device charging even when your PC is on standby or turned off.

• Overclocking IC
• Ultra Durable™ 2
• 3 x USB Power Boost + On/Off Charge

All GIGABYTE Super4™ motherboards are equipped with the very best quality components that ensure that you PC is running at maximum power efficiency. Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs reduce energy wastage through unnecessary residual heat dissipation, while ferrite chokes reduce overall core energy loss with better energy storage and regulation. This all amounts to tangible energy savings which are beneficial for both end-users and the environment without impacting system performance .

• Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs
• Ferrite Core Chokes
• Lower CPU Zone Temperature
• High Power-Efficiency

As the HD multimedia revolution continues to gain momentum, so too must hardware standards in audio quality. All GIGABYTE Super4™ motherboards offer excellent 7.1 surround sound audio backed by a proprietary converter that which is able to achieve a 108dB noise ratio (SNR) playback quality. This means that users will enjoy a better audio experience with lower levels of noise and hiss when enjoying the latest HD content.

• 108dB HD Audio

GIGABYTE On/Off Charge technology allows you to charge your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch regardless of whether your PC is on, in standby mode or even off. A derivative of GIGABYTE's highly acclaimed 3x USB Power feature, On/Off Charge enables devices to draw more current from GIGABYTE motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow, so that charging from your PC can be as fast as with a charger... more
Note: Due to certain mobile phone limitations, users may need to connect the mobile phone to their PC before the PC enters S4/S5 mode to enable a quick charge from non On/Off Charge USB ports. Charging results may vary by model.

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 through a quick and easy BIOS update using GIGABYTE's @BIOS utility that is freely available from the GIGABYTE website.

GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ jest opatentowaną technologią, która automatycznie odzyskuje dane z BIOS’u w sytuacji, gdy zostanie on uszkodzony. 2 fizyczne kości BIOS’u zapewniają podwójne zabezpieczenie przed utratą najważniejszych danych. Proces przywracania BIOs’u nie wymaga przy tym żadnej ingerencji użytkownika.

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.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video interface standard designed for carrying uncompressed digital video data and to maximize the visual quality of digital display devices, such as LCD monitors, digital projectors, and so on. In addition, the DVI interface is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).

GIGABYTE motherboards feature a 3x USB power boost, delivering greater compatibility and extra power for USB devices. GIGABYTE’s unique USB power design is also able to efficiently regulate output over the full voltage range, which greatly enhances USB device compatibility. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure lower voltage drops, and provide more stable and plentiful power delivery.

GIGABYTE motherboards boast SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology made possible through an additional onboard host controller. With superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, users are able to experience a theoretical 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.

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.

AutoGreen technology can automatically save power for you simply by your bluetooth cell phone when you are away from your computer.

Note: GIGABYTE motherboards do not include a Bluetooth ^® receiver; the addition of a 3rd party Bluetooth receiver is required.

The ErP (as known as Energy-Related Products Directive) is part of new European Union's environment regulations. ErP established is based on the concern of environmental issues regards electronic devices been gained popularity and how to improve energy efficiency for better and greener life. GIGABYTE presents standard motherboards to help you effectively improving system performance and saving more energy.
