In an ideal world, motherboards would be like the Rolling Stones; still able to perform after countless years of abuse. Unfortunately, motherboards tend to be more like Right Said Fred; good for a couple of hits, after which they quickly burn out and fade away.
In an effort to improve the longevity of its motherboards, Gigabyte is now fitting its 945 Series motherboards with all-solid capacitors, composed of highly electro-conductive polymer that dramatically improves the stability and reliability of the 945 Series boards.
These new capacitors outlast their electrolytic (liquid) predecessors by six times and are not affected by temperature changes in the board, which means they are capable of higher tolerance than liquid capacitors.
In practical terms, this means at a temperature of 95^0C, solid capacitors will outlast their liquid counterparts by 2 324 hours. Now drop that temperature to 65^0C and the figure increases to an almost unbelievable 168 000 hours.
This means you can overclock your board without sacrificing stability - Gigabyte's 945 Series boards even come with EasyTune 5 and MIT utilities to help you do this.
Lastly, the 945P, 945PL, 945GM and 946GM boards are all Vista premium certified, and tailored to deliver the most reliable, performance-driven solutions that Gigabyte has to offer.
