Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 - 1.0 | GA-Z97X-GAMING3

Gigabyte G1 gaming motherboards are equipped with the Gigabyte exclusive AMP-UP Audio technology, which provides the industry's highest level of onboard audio features and technologies. With Gigabyte AMP-UP Audio, gamers and audiophiles are able to experience crisp, ultra realistic sound effects while gaming, and the richest possible sound experience when listening to their favorite music and movies.
Gigabyte motherboards feature an onboard SATA Express connector which provides performance far superior to that of current SATA technologies. SATA Express features data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbps, considerably higher than SATA Revision 3 (6 Gbps), which won't bottleneck faster NAND flash technologies in cutting edge SSDs. SATA Express combines the benefits of PCI-Express and SATA to provide much higher bandwidth, allowing SATA Express based drives to perform at similar speeds as PCI-Express based drives.
