Gigabyte Launching Dynamic Energy Saver Line of Motherboards

After all the fuss about Sony and Nintendo coming under fire from Greenpeace this summer, it shouldn’t be too surprising that the gaming industry is attempting to go greener.

To that end, GIGABYTE is launching an environmentally friendly line of motherboards. The new boards are reputed to save energy by using GIGABYTE’S Dynamic CPU Voltage Control settings combined with its Dynamic Frequency Control (CPU Throttling) which is engaged with the flick of a switch. For full details, read the press release after the break.

Dynamic Energy Saver User Interface

GIGABYTE’s user-friendly Dynamic Energy Saver interface allows users to turn on and off the power saving features with a simple click of the Dynamic Energy Saver button. Not only can users see real-time CPU power consumption in Watts, but once Dynamic Energy Saver is enabled, users can also see how much power they are actually saving. In Meter Mode, GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver shows how much power users have saved in a set period of time. Like a trip odometer in a car, users are able to reset the power savings meter to zero. In Total Mode, users are able to see how much total power savings they have accumulated since activating Dynamic Energy Saver for the first time. Even if the Dynamic Energy Saver functionality is turned off, the total amount of power saved will be recorded until re-activated, when total power savings will resume recording power savings.

GIGABYTE’s Dynamic Energy Saver technology also delivers additional power savings with its Dynamic CPU Voltage Control. Adjust the CPU voltage according to power saving needs; Level 1 for Normal Power Savings, Level 2 for Advanced Power Savings, and Level 3 for Extreme Power Savings. GIGABYTE’s Dynamic Frequency Control (CPU Throttling) allows for additional system power savings with a simple 1-click on/off button.

Unique Dynamic Energy Saver Hardware Design GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver enabled motherboards feature an LED display located directly on the motherboard, allowing users to see the dynamic gear shifting in real-time. As each gear is activated, a color-coded LED representing the gear lights up.

GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver + Intel 45nm CPU = Unmatched Energy Efficiency GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver motherboards paired with Intel 45nm CPUs deliver the very best platform for multitasking, multimedia and high performance gaming, all while consuming very little power. By combining the improved performance-per-watt and optimized power savings of the Intel 45nm CPUs with the Ultra Durable, Ultra Cool and Ultra Energy Efficient performance of GIGABYTE’s Dynamic Energy Saver motherboards, users will be able to experience a new world of energy efficient computing.

Benefits of GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver Not only does GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver help users save money on electricity costs, but Dynamic Energy Saver enabled motherboards also help to reduce the impact everyday computing has on the environment. Less power consumption means less energy is needed to be produced from coal burning power plants. This cuts down on carbon dioxide output, a byproduct of burning fossil fuels for electricity and a known component of greenhouse gasses.

Today it is more important than ever to help conserve and protect our environment. That is why GIGABYTE has taken the lead to develop responsible computing technologies that have as little impact on the environment as possible. In addition to Dynamic Energy Saver, GIGABYTE has removed lead and other hazardous materials from their products, helping to create a greener computing future.
