Supports the Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1200 V6/ V5 Product Family

Formerly known as Greenlow, this new generation of single socket server and workstation processors is based on the 14nm process technology but comes with the new Skylake microarchitecture.

Among the main features of this new product family is the adoption of the DDR4 memory technology within the Xeon E3 line of processors, which brings a significant memory speed and capacity boost over the previous generation (up to 64GB at 2133MHz). The other big new feature is the increase of the number and speed of PCIe lanes available from 8 Gen2 lanes to up to 20 Gen3 lanes, which allows much wider board configuration possibilities.

DDR4 Memory Support

The Intel Xeon E3-1200 V5 product family is the first generation of Xeon E3 processors to support the DDR4 memory technology. Compared to DDR3, this new generation brings:

+50%Bandwidth Performance
-35%Power Consumption @ 2DPC
-50%Power Consumption @ 3DPC

Easy BIOS Update

Because updating your BIOS to a newer version can be a troublesome experience, GIGABYTE has developed this integrated function (no additional software to install) that lets you update the BIOS of your server / workstation motherboard(s):

  • Without having to install CPUs, memory, drives, operating system, etc.
  • Without having to power on the system (but a power supply must be connected)
  • One board at a time via our IPMI 2.0 web interface
  • Multiple boards simultaneously via command line

Remote System Management

This motherboard is equipped with an onboard Aspeed AST2400 controller, providing comprehensive remote system monitoring with a whole set of management features, such as:

  • Remote Boot & Reset
  • Remote Image Mounting
  • Full Control Over Network, Users, Services, etc.
  • Complete System Monitoring & Diagnostics

Dynamic Fan Speed Control

GIGABYTE servers are enabled with dynamic fan speed adjustment. Individual fan speed will be automatically adjusted according to the system’s current temperature (according to CPU, DIMM, M.2, HDD, GPU temperature sensors), to achieve the best cooling and power efficiency. When the BMC detects a temperature change, fan speed will be automatically adjusted accordingly. Fan speed profiles may also be manually created and edited* when necessary according to the user’s custom requirements.

* Enabled on selected models & performed through BMC console management GUI

The Best Components Only

  • All IR Power Design

    The CPU and memory power delivery of our motherboards is ensured by industry-leading IR Digital PWM and IR PowIRstage IC controllers. These components guarantee a super stable operating environment and allow the processors and the memory to deliver their maximum performance.

  • OS-CON Capacitors

    With a service life of a minimum of 50,000 hours, our server motherboards are built with ultra long lasting components for the highest reliability possible.

  • High End Ferrite Core Chokes

    The top quality chokes we install on our server motherboards also contribute to an ultra stable power delivery to the CPU and the memory.

Environmental Compliance

GIGABYTE maintains its commitment to green products, and adheres to the latest RoHS regulations (in effect July 2017).
