GIGABYTE B75M-D3H Motherboard

The Socket 1155 GIGABYTE B75M-D3H motherboard – priced at only R930 – is ready for Intel’s 3rd generation processors, the Ivy Bridge CPUs. Being part of the B75-series of new GIGABYTE motherboards, the B75M-D3H includes the Intel SBA (Small Business Advantage) hardware-based security and productivity suite to keep your data secure and increase employee productivity.

Also included, is Intel Smart Connect Technology  – this means that your email, favorite apps, and social networks are continually and automatically updated even when the system is asleep. No more waiting for your friends’ updates or the latest news to be delivered – just press the ‘on’ button and you’re up-to-date and ready to go. 

Even though the B75M-D3H is made for Intel’s Ivy Bridge processors it still allows use of the Sandy Bridge processor. The B75M-D3H also supports the DDR3 1600, DDR3 1333 and DDR3 1066 MHz memory modules. In fact, it even supports non-ECC memory modules. This really is a good all-round motherboard. (It even supports on/off quick charging for the 3rd generation iPad!)
