Gigabyte motherboard GA X48T-DQ6 LGA775 Intel X48 1600 FSB DDR3 Dual PCI-E 2.0 x16 ATX Ref: 20Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 motherboard features Dynamic Energy Saver, a revolutionary technology that delivers unparalleled power savings with the simple click of a button. Featuring an advanced proprietary hardware and software design, GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver is able to provide exceptional power savings of up to 70% and up to 20% improved power efficiency without sacrificing computing performance.The unique multi-gear power phase design of GIGABYTE's Dynamic Energy Saver allows for the most efficient switching of power phases depending on CPU workload. When the CPU workload is light or at idle, the Dynamic Energy Saver downshifts gears and only allows the minimum required power phases needed to accomplish the task to operate. By turning off the power phases that are not need, GIGABYTE's Dynamic Energy Saver is able to dramatically save power, up to 70% that would normally have been wasted. As soon as the workload increases, Dynamic Energy Saver recognizes that more power is needed and is able to shift into higher gear, turning on power phases as they are needed.Unlike some power saving designs that only offer 2 gears, GIGABYTE's Dynamic Energy Saver features multiple gears, allowing the CPU to maintain optimum power efficiency from light all the way to heavy loading. In a 2 gear only design, each gear needs to operate longer at less than optimum efficiency, causing gaps in power efficiency. With the ability to switch on and off gears before they start to loose efficiency, GIGABYTE's Dynamic Energy Saver is able to provide up to 20% improved power efficiency. » Manufacturers Info (Opens in New Window) Price: £161.00 exc VAT (£189.18 Including VAT at 17.5%)
