The Intel® USB 3.1 controller utilizes 2 PCIe Gen3 lanes, offering
a total of up to 16Gb/s, which means you have extra bandwidth to
take full control of the 10Gb/s USB 3.1 ports. With twice the
bandwidth compared to its previous generation, and backwards
compatibility with USB 2.0 and 3.0, the much improved USB 3.1
protocol is available over the new reversible USB Type-C™ and the
traditional USB Standard-A connector for better compatibility over
a wider range of devices.
Connecting the Future - USB Type-C™:
Reversible USB Type-C™ with USB 3.1
The USB Type-C™ is a new reversible connector that is loaded with
useful features such as USB 3.1 support for 10Gb/s transfer speed.
Powered by the Intel® USB 3.1 controller, this little port provides
the best USB Type-C™ experience possible.
Triple PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 Connectors
With three PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 connectors onboard, GIGABYTE brings to
the user PCI-Express connectivity for SSD devices. Delivering up to
32 Gb/s data transfer speed per connector, the triple M.2 provides
an ideal storage solution as it also supports RAID modes.
Exclusive OC Touch with Metal Shielding Design
GIGABYTE OC Touch includes a range of hardware overclocking buttons
directly on the motherboard, making overclocking on the fly
extremely fast and easy.
OC PCIe Switch
Overclockers can manually turn on or off each installed PCIe lane
of the motherboard, allowing users to disable individual graphics
cards without physically removing them. This is especially useful
when overclocking on LN2 and water cooled systems.
115dB High Definition Audio Design
The Realtek ALC1150 is a high-performance multi-channel high
definition audio codec that delivers an exceptional audio listening
experience with up to 115dB SNR, ensuring users get the best
possible audio quality from their PC.
High Quality audio capacitors deliver the highest quality sound
resolution and sound expansion to create the most realistic sound
effects for professional gamers.
Ambient LED
LED lighting for the audio guard path provides a cool, custom look
to your rig. Not only does the Audio Noise Guard protect the
board's sensitive analog audio components, but its LEDs can also be
programed to beat at the rhythm of the music you are listening to,
or pulse at a soothing pace to create a great atmosphere to enhance
the environment of your game, movie or music.
