technology featuring a 2 oz copper PCB to help reduce system
temperature and dramatically enhance performance. Based on the Intel
P45 chipset the GA-EP45-UD3R delivers a record-setting 1600MHz FSB for
the latest Intel® Core 2™ multi-core processors, and supports dual
channel DDR2 memory at speeds of up to 1366MHz and even higher.
Additionally, the GA-EP45-UD3R incorporates GIGABYTE DES Advanced
technology for industry leading energy saving and enhanced system
efficiency. |  | | | | 
Ultra Durable 3 – Copper Cooled Quality
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 series motherboards once again lead the
motherboard industry for the highest quality and most innovative
motherboard design. Featuring the industry’s first consumer desktop
motherboard design to introduce 2 ounces of copper for both the Power
and Ground layers, delivering a dramatically lower system temperature,
improved energy efficiency and enhanced stability for overclocking.
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 motherboards are also equipped with the
GIGABYTE Ultra Durable signature features including Japanese Solid
Capacitors boasting an operational life time of more than 50,000 hours,
Ferrite core chokes with higher energy efficiency compared to the
commonly used iron core chokes and Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs that features
a lower resistance, which reduces power consumption and heat
generation. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 series motherboards promise to
provide the stability, reliability and longevity essential to meet the
power needs of high-end processors and other components running today's
most demanding applications and games...more

Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced
GIGABYTE
Dynamic Energy Saver Advanced provides better energy saving
capabilities and enhanced system performance. GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy
Saver Advanced is the world’s only motherboard energy saving technology
with hardware-based Dynamic 6-Gear* Switching. With support for VRD
11.1, GIGABYTE’s DES Advanced allows the motherboard to switch to 1
Gear phase switching during idle, allowing for a dramatic increase in
power savings.
GIGABYTE has also retooled Dynamic Energy Saver to allow overclockers
to experience the benefits of multi-gear power phase switching while
overclocking, providing ultra stable, ultra smooth overclocking
performance.
* The 6-Gear feature may vary by model. Gear 1 phase switching requires 45nm processors with PSI signal enabled.

Quick and Effortless Overclocking with One Click
GIGABYTE
Quick Boost provides 3 levels of CPU performance enhancement; a simple
click on the desired level delivers quick and effortless overclocking
for novice and experienced users alike.
 | |  | | EasyTune6
GIGABYTE
has completely redesigned EasyTune6 from the ground up to make it
easier than ever to manage and monitor your hardware resources as well
as tweak your system settings in order to achieve maximum system
performance. Whether you are an overclocking enthusiast, or a computer
novice, EasyTune6 provides the tools you need to quickly and
effortlessly fine tune your system. | |  | | Hardware OverVoltage Control IC-- Enabling Extreme Overclocking
GIGABYTE
Hardware Overvoltage Control ICs featuring more voltage control options
than before for the CPU North Bridge and memory. The overvoltage
controllers also provide hardware linear real-time voltage control,
which means there is no delay compared to the GPIO controller in past
implementations. In addition, GIGABYTE’s Hardware Overvoltage
Controller ICs also allow for much finer voltage control, allowing
power users to adjust voltage in as little increments as 20mV for
better overclocking performance. | |  | | 
DualBIOS™ - Patented Dual Hardware BIOS Protection
DualBIOS™
is a GIGABYTE patented technology that automatically recovers BIOS data
when main BIOS has crashed or failed. Featuring 2 physical BIOS ROMs
integrated onboard, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ allows quick and seamless
recovery from BIOS damage or failure due to viruses or improper BIOS
updating. | |  | | Dolby Home Theater® - Enjoy a Rich Home Theater Surround Sound Experience
Dolby
Home Theater places listeners in the middle of the action, giving their
PCs a powerful set of tools to deliver a cinema-style experience in
vivid surround sound.
