GIGABYTE “TH” Motherboard’s  support Collage Intel Driver for 4K resolutions

Dual Thunderbolt Ports in GIGABYTE’s ‘TH’ models offer up to 10Gbps data transfer speeds from each port: this means you can transfer industry-leading UHD (Ultra High Definition) graphics and data simultaneously! Each Thunderbolt port complies with the DisplayPort 1.1 standard (with support for 2K resolutions from each port), and therefore provide a combined resolution of up to 4K for the ultimate in display specification future-proofing.

Gigabyte Ultra Durable 5 – Computex 2012

Posted on June 8, 2012 by Peter du Preez
gigabyte_ud5

The main benefit of ultra durable 5 is that the motherboards run a lot cooler, while allowing for high current flow. The demo showed the different loads under overclocked conditions which are particularly applicable to water cooling situations, where low airflow can cause a heat buildup in the MOSFET region, but on a motherboard running with Ultra Durable 5 parameters and the new power stages will run a lot cooler and thus enhance the lifespan of the product.
The GA-Z77X-UP7 motherboard is quite pricey because of these high-end features, but in the end you get what you pay for, and OC enthusiasts will crave these spec’s.

Gigabyte Intel Z68 and AMD 900 motherboards @ Computex 2011

Posted on June 27, 2011 by admin

The Intel Z68 format allows transcoding from your tablet or smart phone, to assist with CPU intensive tasks that can be shared. In addition, the board supports Lucid virtue technology allowing both discrete and integrated graphics to enhance one another, and to save power, you may turn off the discrete card as needed. In addition, Gigabyte have added in a micro-SSD slot for MSATA – which supports Intels smart response technology where a small capacity SSD drive can act essentially as a L4 cache, giving a system wide performance boost. The AMD 900 platform enables on-CPU enabled graphics for Direct X 11 support and ensures support for Crossfire or SLI as well as Bulldozer 8 core CPUs when they launch.

ASUS EFI GUI BIOS for P5QE Motherboards

Posted on November 26, 2009 by Peter du Preez

ASUSTek is on the verge of releasing a graphic user interface (GUI) BIOS for all users of the P5Q motherboard series. The new type of BIOS called an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) makes the transition from an older keyboard driven environment to something so much more appealing and easier to use. At this stage it doesn’t add any extra features except stylish good looks, but for those users who have been afraid of delving into the BIOS, now is your chance, especially if you feel comfortable in a Windows environment. You can monitor temperatures using color coded bars, and navigating with a mouse makes the BIOS much more user friendly and easy to use. We will provide you a link as soon as it is available for download. Please leave your comments and any ideas you might have to further advance the EFI BIOS and we will relay them to the people involved with the this project.

Thanks to our friends at Xtremesystems: You can download the EFI BIOS here: ASUS EFI BIOS for P5Q Deluxe

EVGA P55 Motherboards @ Computex 2009

Posted on July 7, 2009 by admin

PM Jacob Freeman shows EVGA’s the latest offerings with the P55 chipset from Intel. EVGA P55 is an enthusiast motherboard with dual BIOS, it has pulsating LED in the heatspreader, and a 10 phase analog PWM. The EVGA FTW line has a total of 3 BIOS chips and each chip can store a different BIOS version. The active switch helps you select which is your preference. Its an excellent feature for testing out new BIOS’. It has a 12 Phase analog PWM and has dual 8 pin inputs for a total of 600W of power to the CPU and PWM region directly. Peter Tan, the world renowned overclocker working for EVGA gives his take on the P55 chipset. Inside the CPU socket cavity EVGA have inserted low inductance surface mount capacitors. The high grade capacitors give low inductance and are the best ones for the job.
