Overview
--------
GIGABYTE 3D Power (patent pending)
----------------------------------
GIGABYTE X79 series motoards are the first to take advantage
of the exclusive GIGABYTE 3D Power, an all new hardware and
software-based Digital Power Engine for both the PWM and Memory
that delivers unprecedented power delivery control.
All New Digital Power Control for the CPU and Memory
Utilizing a brand new Digital PWM controller, GIGABYTE's 3D
Power features precise Auto Voltage Compensation to deliver a
steady flow of power to the CPU and memory no matter the loading.
This all new, all digital power system provides enthusiast users
with exceptional control over the overclocking potential of their
GIGABYTE X79 motoard. GIGABYTE is the first in the industry
to utilize digital memory controllers for not only the Memory,
but VTT and VSA, for real-time monitoring and adjusting. Digital
memory control allows users to monitor and record DDR power and
current in real-time while gaming, overclocking or at idle. Users
can also set OVP (Over Voltage Protection) to safeguard your
memory, adjust memory Load-line Calibration to fix memory
vdrooping for a quicker response time and adjust memory PWM
frequency on-the-fly.
GIGABYTE 3D Power(patent pending) Utility
-----------------------------------------
Users can now enjoy a fully interactive 3D utility that
facilitates adjustment of the 3 dimensions that control the power
delivery to your CPU and Memory: Voltage, Phase and Frequency.
These parameters are crucial to how the digital PWM supplies
power to critical areas of the motoard and can help users
quickly obtain the highest, most stable overclock.
3D Power: Voltage Control
Voltage parameters can be modified within 3D Power, including
load line calibration the of CPU. By adjusting load line
calibration, Vdrooping can be avoided, maintaining optimal
voltages levels despite increasing current levels. OVP (over
voltage protection) can also be adjusted to change default
protection range of the CPU, memory controller, VTT and system
memory.
3D Power: Phase Control
Users can calibrate OCP (Over Current Protection) for the CPU,
integrated memory controller and system memory power levels. This
allows the Phase control to deliver even more power to the system
when needed.
3D Power: Frequency Control
GIGABYTE's digital PWM allows for adjustable frequency control
via the International Rectifier (IR3567) PWM controller. 3D Power
frequency control allows users to change the PWM controller
frequency so that the CPU VRM can adjust power delivery speeds
more quickly. Users can also adjust the PWM spectrum or maximum
and minimum overall frequencies
GIGABYTE 3D BIOS(patent pending)
--------------------------------
The revolutionary GIGABYTE 3D BIOS application is based on our
new GIGABYTE UEFI DualBIOSTM technology and is available to
consumers in two new exclusive modes of interaction never before
seen in a BIOS environment. GIGABYTE has re-drawn the traditional
BIOS experience providing mainstream and enthusiast users with a
choice of unique and powerful graphical interfaces.
UEFI DualBIOSTM Technology
At the heart of this exciting 3D BIOS technology is a pair of
8MB physical BIOS ROMs containing GIGABYTE's exclusive in-house
designed UEFI BIOS technology. With a superior graphical
interface capable of 32-bit color imaging and fluid user-friendly
mouse navigation, UEFI DualBIOSTM makes BIOS configuration a new
and exciting experience for novice and experienced users alike.
UEFI BIOS also brings native support for large hard drives on
64-bit operating systems.
3D Mode
Designed to provide an extremely streamlined and user-friendly
BIOS environment, GIGABYTE's exclusive 3D mode offers a fully
interactive and illustrative GUI that allows users to easily and
intuitively make key adjustments to the UEFI BIOS settings for
optimum performance. 3D Mode allows novice or casual users to
more clearly understand the areas of the motoard that are
being affected through the BIOS settings, gaining a clearer
understanding of the BIOS functionality.
Advanced Mode
Advanced mode provides a more comprehensive UEFI BIOS
environment that is designed specifically for overclockers and
power users who want maximum control over their PC's hardware.
GIGABTYE's signature M.I.T. tuning technology can be found
alongside fully configurable parameters for GIGABTE's all new
digital 3D Power engine. In short, advanced mode combines the
signature GIGABYTE BIOS expertise you’ve come to expect, wrapped
a slick, new and optimized graphical UEFI interface.
4 Channel Memory Architecture / PCI Express Gen. 3 Support
----------------------------------------------------------
4 Channel Memory Architectur
The latest Intel® 2nd Gen CoreTM i7 processors feature a new
integrated memory controller that supports four channel DDR3
memory for the first time. Offering unrivalled memory performance
with incredible potential data bandwidth, GIGABYTE X79 series
motoards give you the ultimate performance for today's
memory-intensive applications. Furthermore, the GIGABYTE X79-UD5
