With 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 dual M.2 provides an ideal storage solution as it also supports RAID modes.

Support for DDR4 2133 MHz Memory Modules
The next generation of DRAM is here with DDR4. Featuring stock frequencies starting at 2133 MHz, DDR4 delivers up to 20% less energy consumption and twice as much density as the previous generation DDR3. DDR4 can help GIGABYTE users to load their programs faster, increase responsiveness of their system and help them to handle heavy data tasks in a flash. GIGABYTE motherboards provide Dual Channel DDR4 memory support across the entire range, bringing exceptionally fast memory access.

ECC Memory (Error-correcting code)
Utilizing specialized memory chips on the RAM modules, it can eliminate small data discrepancies and prevent data corruption to ensure reliability for critical applications while helping to reduce system crashes.

Dual Intel® GbE LAN
Primary LAN Intel® I210-AT support the best virtualization compatibility and performance.
Secondary LAN Intel® I219LM supports Intel vPRO technology.

2-Way SLI™/3-Way CrossFire™ Multi-Graphics
Multi-graphics configuration offers better graphics performance for gaming enthusiasts who demand the highest frame rates without compromising on resolution.

Industry Leading Ultra Durable™ PCIe Metal Shielding
The innovative one piece stainless steel shielding design from GIGABYTE reinforces the PCIe connectors to provide the extra strength required to support heavy graphics cards.

Next Generation SATA Express
SATA Express combines the benefits of PCI Express and SATA to provide much higher bandwidth, featuring data transfer rates of up to 16Gb/s.

Turbo B-Clock:
Built-in Advanced Performance Tuning IC
