Support for ErP Lot 6 The ErP (acronym for Energy-Related Products Directive) is part of the new environmental regulations of the European Union. ErP was born out of growing concern about environmental issues related to electronic devices and about how to improve energy efficiency for a better and greener life. GIGABYTE supports ErP and manufactures boards that help you improve the performance of your system effectively.

The Gigabyte B75M-D3H is protected in a white cardboard box. Highlight the Ultra Durable 4 logo print.

In the box we find:

  • Instruction manual and quick guide Installation CD SATA cable Rear hood

The board maintains the classic blue color on its PCB. And due to its dimensions it is a Micro ATX board.

Back view of the plate.

The board has a good layout, because it allows us to connect up to two ATI graphics cards and two normal PCI slots.

Also includes a basic heatsink on the south bridge. 4 SATA connections (blue) and USB connections and control panel.

The power phases are unprotected, but lacking utility for Overclock and Gigabyte Ultra Durable 4 technology we do not see it necessary.

2 SATA 6.0 connections.

Finally the rear input and output panel. We highlight PS / 2 connections, digital outputs (DVI and HDMI), USB 3.0, network card and integrated sound card.

The Gigabyte B75M-D3H is a motherboard for 1155 socket with Micro ATX format, B75 chipset, DDR3 memory sockets, support for ATI multiGPU system and SATA 6.0 connections.

The B75 chipset is a chipset specifically designed to fill the gap between basic PCs and large business PCs. What does this mean? Well, it is an excellent chipset regarding quality-performance-price.

In our test bench we have used an Intel i7 2600k and an Asus GTX580 Direct CU II having great results in distributed computing and even with games like Battelefield3 and Diablo III.

The plate brings basic cooling to the south bridge. While the feeding phases are “on the air”, it is understood because it is a product not intended for Overclocking (it does not allow us to perform either). So if you can save some eurillo when acquiring a processor, that is not of the series "K" (multiplier unlocked).

In short, Gigabyte has designed an excellent motherboard for the professional environment and users looking for a mid-range PC but with quality components. And is that the technology "Ultra Durable 4" is a life insurance.

We can find it in online stores for € 67. An unbeatable price !!!
