Introduction

The GA-M720-US3 introduces revolutionary GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 technology on AMD platform with featuring 2 oz copper

PCB and further helps to reduce the system temperature and dramatically enhance the performance. Based on NVIDIA nForce

720D chipset, the GA-M720-US3 supports AMD Phenom™ quad-core processors, integrated DDR2 memory controller,

HyperTransport™ 3.0 technology links and PCI Express 2.0 graphics interface. With the innovative GIGABYTE Easy Energy

Saver technology, the GA-M720-US3 is able to provide user friendly computing, reach the maximum system performance easily while still able to save the power and environment in real life at the same time.

Supports next generation of 45nm AMD Socket AM3 processors

This motherboard supports the upcoming 45nm AMD AM3 Phenom™II series processors, delivering the great performance enchantment to system and ultimate scalability hardware expending.

Ultra Durable 3 – Classic

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 Classic motherboards are equipped with the GIGABYTE Ultra Durable signature features including

Japanese Solid Capacitors boasting an operational life time of more than 50,000 hours for CPU VRM, Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs

(providing lower resistance to reduce power consumption and heat generation) and GIGABYTE patented DualBIOS™ technology

(providing dual hardware BIOS protection). GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 Classic 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.

Dual Channel DDR2 1200+ MHz

Delivering native support for DDR2 memory up to 1200MHz, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 3 series motherboards allow users to easily reach higher memory frequencies at lower voltages; achieving higher memory performance with lower power consumption to run even the most memory intensive applications such as high-definition video and 3D games with ease.

* DDR2 1200+ is supported with combination of AM2+ processors and qualified memory modules, please refer "Memory Support

List" for detail memory support information.

GIGABYTE innovative technology- Easy Energy Saver

Featuring an advanced proprietary software design, GIGABYTE Easy Energy Saver is able to dynamically adjust CPU power depending on workload, delivering just the right amount of power needed for the task. Coupled with AMD’s highly efficient AM2+ and latest 45nm AM3 CPU, the Easy Energy Saver is able to provide exceptional levels of power savings and enhanced power efficiency without sacrificing computing performance.

* Easy Energy Saver only supports AMD AM2+ and new generation AM3 CPU.

EasyTune6

IGABYTE 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.

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.
