Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH Motherboard
Other Features
Contents
The Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH has two BIOS chips, so if the main BIOS chip is corrupted by a virus or a bad BIOS upgrade, you can still recover the motherboard. The motherboard also has a POST diagnostics display, which is not available on the UP4 model. This display allows you to identify which component is failing if the computer is not turning on.

The portrayed motherboard supports the installation of a TPM (Trusted Platform Module), a module that encrypts data in order to increase the computer’s security level. (This encryption can be done through the BitLocker feature available on Windows.)
