Tackle complex tasks with ease and worry free. GIGABYTE's High-End Desktop (HEDT) Motherboards utilize the new generation of Xeon processors based on the 14nm process technology and the new Skylake micorarchitecture. Specifically designed for programs that require accuracy and error-free computing, these motherboards utilize the latest data connectivity, networking, and Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory to virtually eliminate system crashes while providing expandability and a broad range of exclusive technologies.

With performance and visual support demanded by professional-grade CAD and Media applications, the Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 processor works in tandem with Intel^® C230 Series chipset to deliver improved manageability, increased I/O bandwidth, and enhanced processor graphics that designers, engineers, and animators desire.

Designed to deliver the best expansion connectivity, the first PCIe lane of the new X170 and X150 workstation motherboards from GIGABYTE is a direct x16 Gen.3 lane to the processor, which offers 128Gb/s of unrestricted bandwidth to your graphics cards for better performance when running GPU intensive applications.

The X170-Extreme ECC motherboard features the Killer™ E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, the world's most advanced networking detection and prioritization technology for consumer and enthusiast users. The E2400 provides additional intelligence by automatically detecting and prioritizing specific website traffic in addition to networked applications and games. The adapter delivers industry-leading latency performance, offering more powerful network control, improved latency, reduced jitter, and virtually eliminates video freezes so users can play, watch, and stream games all at the same time.
