Overview
Get Ready for New Generation of 32nm AMD AM3+ CPU
GIGABYTE's AMD motherboards are ready to support new generation of
32nm AMD AM3+ multi-core processors, delivering the very best
platform for multitasking, multimedia and high performance gaming.
On/Off Charge Technology
GIGABYTE On/Off Charge technology allows you to charge your iPhone,
iPad and iPod Touch regardless of whether your PC is on, in standby
mode or even off. A derivative of GIGABYTE's highly acclaimed 3x USB
Power feature, On/Off Charge enables devices to draw more current
from GIGABYTE motherboard USB ports than standard USB ports allow,
so that charging from your PC can be as fast as with a charger... more
Note: Due to certain mobile phone limitations,
users may need to connect the mobile phone to their PC before the PC
enters S4/S5 mode to enable a quick charge from non On/Off Charge
USB ports. Charging results may vary by model.

Introduction
The 78LMT-S2P motherboard is designed to offer a stable, high-speed
platform for delivering amazingly fast data transfer via
revolutionary GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 2 Classic technology and
GIGABYTE 3X USB power technologies. Based on AMD 760G chipset, it
supports the latest 45nm AMD AM3 Phenom II/ Athlon II processors,
integrated DDR3 memory controller, HyperTransport™ 3.0 technology
links and PCI Express 2.0 graphics interfaces, and so on.
Supports next generation of 45nm AMD AM3 CPU
This motherboard designs with Split
Power Plane, 4+1 phase VRM to
support AMD the latest 45nm AM3 Phenom™II/ Athlon™II processors,
delivering the great performance enchantment to system and ultimate
scalability hardware expending.
EC AOD-ACC Support
EC AOD-ACC is described as Embedded Controller for AMD OverDrive-
Advanced Clock Calibration, which is the newest feature comes from
AMD SB750/ SB710 SouthBridge chip, destined for the AMD Black
Edition CPU to be overclocked through BIOS setting or AMD OverDrive™
utility further than it was previously possible.
* Please apply sufficient cooling to CPU VRM zone
when ACC function is enabled.
* Please be noticed that GIGABYTE’s product warranty does not cover
damages caused by overclocking.
3x USB Power Boost
GIGABYTE motherboards feature a 3x USB power boost, delivering
greater compatibility and extra power for USB devices. GIGABYTE’s
unique USB power design is also able to efficiently regulate output
over the full voltage range, which greatly enhances USB device
compatibility. In addition, dedicated lower resistance fuses ensure
lower voltage drops, and provide more stable and plentiful power
delivery.

108dB Signal-to-Noise ratio playback
GIGABYTE strongly believes that in 2011, HD audio playback is a
standard specification, and as such, we have made Blu-ray audio
playback a standard for all of our motherboards.
All of GIGABYTE's 2011 motherboards feature higher capability audio
solution with 108dB Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) playback quality to
deliver high-performance, multi-channel HD audio. SNR is a
comparison of the amount of signal to the amount of noise such as
hiss present in the signal (expressed in Decibels). A higher SNR
equals a better audio experience. For example, 108dB, is a high
audio specification, as this means the audio signal is 108dB higher
than the level of the noise.
DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology)
Hybrid EFI Technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE's mature
BIOS platform including stability and compatibility with 3rd party
products with 3TB+ HDD support from EFI technology, allowing
GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds through a quick and easy
BIOS update using GIGABYTE's @BIOS utility that is freely available
from the GIGABYTE website.
GIGABYTE DualBIOS™ is a patented technology that automatically
recovers BIOS data when the main BIOS has crashed or failed.
Featuring 2 physical BIOS ROMs integrated onboard, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™
allows quick and seamless recovery from BIOS damage or failure due
to viruses or improper BIOS updating. In addition, GIGABYTE DualBIOS™
now supports 3TB+ (terabyte) hard drive booting without the need for
partitioning, and enables more data storage on a single hard drive.
Ultra Durable 2 - Classic
GIGABYTE was the first motherboard manufacturer to realize the
importance of using only the highest quality components for the
critically important CPU VRM zone of the motherboard which is
responsible for delivering stable power to the CPU. The GIGABYTE
Ultra Durable™ 2 Classic design utilizes Solid Capacitors
manufactured in Japan which are rated to last for at least 50,000
hours in operational use. Also feature Ferrite Core Chokes with
higher energy efficiency compared to more common iron core chokes
and Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs which feature lower resistance, i.e.
reduced power consumption and heat.
Supports DDR3 1333+
Delivering native support for DDR3 memory up to 1333MHz, GIGABYTE
Ultra Durable 3 series motherboards allow users to easily reach
higher memory frequencies at lower voltages; achieving higher memory
performance with lower power consumption to run even the most memory
intensive applications such as high-definition video and 3D games
with ease.
EasyTune6
GIGABYTE has completely redesigned EasyTune6 from the ground up to
make it easier than ever to manage and monitor your hardware
resources as well as tweak your system settings in order to achieve
maximum system performance. Whether you are an overclocking
enthusiast, or a computer novice, EasyTune6 provides the tools you
need to quickly and effortlessly fine tune your system.
Norton™ Internet Security
Fast, comprehensive, and up-to-the-minute protection against online
threats. It safeguards your computer, identity, and home network
without slowing you down. It sets a new standard for speed and makes
online shopping, banking, and browsing safer and more convenient
than ever.
Qualified for Windows® 7
The motherboard qualified for WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs)
certification of Windows 7 from Microsoft ®, setting the
standard for future Windows 7 certified motherboards... more
ErP Lot 6 support
The ErP (also known as Energy-Related Products Directive) is part of
the European Union's environmental regulations policy. It is based
on concern for the environmental as the proliferation of electronic
devices continues, and how to improve energy efficiency for a better
and greener life. GIGABYTE supports ErP and produces motherboards
that help you effectively improve system efficiency.
