Furthermore, there are also two PCIe 2.0 x1 and two classic PCI slots for additional cards.
 
AMD AM3 + platform with USB 3.1 Type C and M.2 with NVMe support for PCIe SSDs
 
Up to 32 GB of DDR3 RAM refer to the four RAM banks, where appropriate memory can run at a maximum of 2,000 overclocked megahertz. A little highlight on Gigabyte GA-970 gaming is also that there are on the I / O shield on the back of the motherboard two brand new USB 3.1 ports with Type A and Type-C connector, provided by the ASMedia ASM1142 additional chip. The new USB Type-C port is particularly thin and can finally be connected at both ends. USB 3.1 is commonly associated with the maximum attainable speed of 10 Gbit / s twice as fast as USB 3.0.
 
Media such as SSDs and hard drives manages the board has six SATA 6G ports (incl. RAID support) and a horizontal M.2 slot, which is connected with a maximum of two PCI-Express 2.0 lanes and thus high speeds of up can reach to 10 Gbit / s. It can be used 42-80 mm length M.2 SSDs. In addition, the Gigabyte GA-970 gaming still supports the new NVM Express protocol for modern PCI Express SSDs, short NVMe.
 
Thus the old AHCI protocol is replaced, which dates back to the period prior to the widespread use of SSDs and is practically hardly optimized for highly parallelized disk accesses. NVMe ensures much lower latencies and more and deeper command queue, which is reflected in significantly improved performance in non-linear transfers as 4K read / write.
 
The GA-970 gaming has the black-red design of high-end motherboards from Gigabyte. In the remaining connectivity and -Total the extensive equipment list continues. This ranges from the modern USB 3.0 ports via a Killer E2201 LAN chip to gigabytes notorious "Ultra Durable" -Verarbeitungsqualität, an electrically insulated and even of an "Ambient LED" lit HD audio chip with 7.1 channels unadulterated sound enjoyment including interchangeable audio amplifier.
