Being equipped with the best armor and protective gear in the field is essential for surviving any battle. The same can be said for a gaming motherboard, as it needs to be tough enough to withstand any challenge an elite gamer can throw at it. With that in mind, GIGABYTE G1-Killer motherboards were designed ruggedly enough to handle even the most deadliest of skirmishes. Locked and Loaded Heatpipe Design
The GIGABYTE G1-Killer series features a brand new heatpipe that was designed to be as deadly to heat as it looks. By effectively spreading the heat from the critical areas of the motherboard such as the CPU VRM zone and quickly dissipating it, GIGABYTE G1-Killer series motherboards remain cool, even when the battle heats up.
Modeled after common firearms issued to soldiers deployed to warzones including pistol, rifle and ammo magazine, the Locked and Loaded heatpipe design utilizes a unique fluting technology similar to a rifle barrel fluting, which allows for maximum heat dispersion. |

*The heat sink consists of three parts created for visual aesthetics and thermal properties and is not intended as a weapon, norcan it be assembled as a firearm.
*The product photos are for reference only. Final product may have slight cosmetic differences. |
5 Smart Fan Connectors
Further helping to eliminate heat are the 5 strategically placed Smart Fan pin headers which allow for more precise control of system and CPU fans. Equipped with their own individual thermal sensors, the Smart Fans can be easily controlled via GIGABYTE’s EasyTune™ 6 utility as well as in the BIOS. | GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 3 | The signature specifications for GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ 3 motherboards are Japanese Solid Capacitors featuring 50,000 hr. operation time, 2x Copper PCBs, Ferrite core chokes with higher energy efficiency compared to more common iron core chokes and Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs that feature lower resistance, i.e. reduced power consumption and heat. |

Maximum CPU Power Delivery + Driver MOS
Like the pistons and cylinders of a car engine, the design of the motherboard Voltage Regulator Module (VRM), component quality and number of power phases greatly affects motherboard performance. GIGABYTE engineers were first to realize not only the importance of using the best quality components for this critical area, but also that with more power phases there can be more power available to your CPU. G1-Killer series motherboards with their new redesigned VRM, promise to deliver first class system performance and power stability. With only the best quality components and unique design, incorporating Dual Power Switching and Power Phase Boost with Multi-gear Switching, your CPU can enjoy more unadulterated power from the motherboard than from previous motherboards. |

What if the BIOS Fails?
Have you ever been in the middle of a BIOS update and then had it fail for some reason? Or how about executing some applications only to find out that you’ve been infected by some new virus that completely blows away your BIOS? Without the BIOS working the motherboard is basically not functional. Can you imagine the time and effort to get your motherboard fixed? |
