This week we uploaded our 7 series mobo microsite that includes all of the features and technology available to you if you upgrade from your Z68 or older GIGABYTE motherboard to a new Z77 or H77 series board.

Two key features are GIGABYTE’s 3D BIOS and 3D Power that brings our dual UEFI BIOS and All Digital Power technologies to the socket LGA 1155 platform. 3D BIOS has a 3D mode that’s easy enough for everyone to use, while also boasting an advanced mode for overclockers and other advanced users. Here’s a screenshot of the new 3D BIOS in 3D mode:

3D Power offers maximum control over the power to the four main power zones that are the CPU, processor graphics, memory and VTT. There is more information about our 3D Power utility on the 3D Power web page.

These 7 series mobos also see the introduction of a new dual band WiFi + Bluetooth 4.0 card that will go a long way towards making your desktop PC the center of your personal cloud.

And then there is also the widespread adoption of Ultra Durable 4 and other GIGABYTE motherboard technologies such as 1 fuse per USB port, On/Off Charge, 3x USB Power and mSATA onboard.

   

A list of models that will be available globally can be found in the ‘Models’ section of the microsite.

Of course, there are a lot of new technologies missing from this microsite, in particular those that will be unlocked by the new 3rd Generation of Intel® Core™ processors that will available in the spring (northern hemisphere) of 2012. Stay tuned for more updates from CeBIT where Stew is manning our booth and demoing these new technologies.

Dave Helmly is a specialist working for Adobe, specifically working with system integrators and builders creating digital audio and video hardware solutions for Adobes pro creative applications. Check out his DAV’s Tech Table blog here. So the kind of applications we’re talking about are pretty demanding when it comes to both raw computational performance and storage mediums. Apps like Adobe Premier Pro, After effects and others often need to stream very high def, very heavy video content on the fly, with tons of processing going too, so let’s just say that Dave knows how to spec out a machine that will suit today’s professional content creators.

So here’s a great video that Dave posted which explores a couple of different builds that feature Thunderbolt on Windows. This is a relatively new scenario for content creators as Thunderbolt, prior to few months ago, was an Apple-exclusive feature. So it’s easy to see why Thunderbolt on Windows is clearly something that excites many users of Dave’s ilk.

It’s great to see that Dave has opted for GIGABYTE boards, and in fact has found suitable homes for all there of our TB offerings. Actually, being the only solution on the market featuring two TB ports, it’s easy to see why GIGABYTE got the nod. If you want to check out the details regarding specs etc hit the links below.
