Gigabyte GA-H61M-USB3-B3 rev.1.0 Intel Chipset H61 Socket LGA1155 DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard. GIGABYTE 6 series motherboards incorporate an Intel approved Intersil PWM controller that is VRD 12 (Voltage Regulator Down) compliant. This means that it offers new features that include SerialVID (SVID) which transfers power management information between the processor and voltage regulator controller, allowing more robust and efficient signaling control between the CPU and PWM controller – hence, delivering a more energy efficient platform.

Features:

• Supports Intel new B3 stepping 6 series chipset
• Supports for LGA1155 2nd Generation Intel Core Processors
• Next Gen. Quality Components and 4 Phase CPU Power design
• GIGABYTE 3x USB Power with On/Off Charge USB ports
• Supports USB 3.0 with superfast transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps
• DVI interface for smoother HD video playback
• Enhanced Intel HD Graphics 2000/3000 integrated with the processor
• Innovative Smart 6 technology for smarter PC management
• Hi-def 108dB Signal-to-noise ratio Blu-ray DVD audio playback
• DualBIOS protection with 3TB+ HDD boot up capability
