Gigabyte GA-H61M-USB3-B3 Intel H61 1155 mATX USB3.0 Onboard VGA/DVI (Revised B3 Chipset) Motherboard Model Number: GA-H61M-USB3-B3

Gigabyte GA-H61M-USB3-B3 Intel H61 1155 mATX USB3.0 Onboard VGA/DVI (Revised B3 Chipset) 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.
