-- GA-G1975X targets extreme enthusiasts who Exist to Exceed --
Taipei, Taiwan November 1st, 2005 – GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, VGA cards and other computing hardware solutions, unveils the GIGABYTE GA-G1975X, the first in a series of G1-Turbo motherboards. Designed specifically with extreme overclockers and hardcore gamers in mind, the GA-G1975X-Series exudes performance and represents a fusion of the best industry and GIGABYTE innovations through features such as the highly advanced Intel® 975X Express chipset and GIGABYTE Turbojet technology.
Turbojet Technology – Unrivalled Thermal Solution
Situated around the hottest components on a motherboard, GIGABYTE proprietary Turbojet Technology helps to efficiently remove heat generated by the CPU, north bridge and memory, and is designed to cope with abnormally tough thermal conditions. This is achieved by directing airflow over and away from heat generating components; two fans are dedicated to sucking warm air out the back of the system while another two drive air over the system memory, an area on the motherboard that is often neglected by cooling systems.
Supports Two PCI Express VGA Cards Simultaneously
Featuring the Intel® 975X Express chipset, the GA-G1975X comes with dual PCI-E graphics slots supporting two 8-lane PCI Express links for multi-view output that ensures maximum graphics performance for next generation GPUs and games. With growing support for dual GPUs amongst PC game developers, the GA-G1975X affords gamers the best possible visual experience for current and future games.
Creative Sound Blaster with DTS Support
The GA-G1975X integrated hardware audio controller from Creative Sound Blaster Live 24-bit, performing heart pounding 7.1 channel surround effects delivers the most natural and engrossing multimedia entertainment experience possible for games, DVD movies, music and TV. With DTS enabled functions, DTS ES and DTS Neo:6, the GIGABYTE GA-G1975X brings you the ultimate entertainment experience to the PC world.
C.R.S. (CMOS Reload Switch)
GIGABYTE cleverly included a C.R.S (CMOS Reload Switch) that provides convenient CMOS default settings retrieval and auto system reboot. A smart and user-friendly tool for overclockers, it allows the user to reload the CMOS default settings when the system is unable to boot up.
Flexible PCI-e x4 Expansion Slot
The GIGABYTE GA-G1975X provides a flexible expansion interface for peripheral devices through PCI-e x4 or x1 slots. In addition, the board provides an interface for various graphics cards and is able to support up to 4 graphics cards simultaneously with 2 PCI-e x 16 slots.
