The GIGABYTE APP Center provides a centralized location for all the GIGABYTE Windows-based utilities. The @BIOS applet can be used to backup and update the board BIOS. THe Ambient LED applet is used to adjust the appearance of the audio separator line LEDs with options for always on, pulsing, and a breathing type pattern. The EasyTune utility can be used to configure board settings, including bus speeds and voltages. The System Information Viewer applet displays board component information, monitored device information, and provides an interface for automated or manual fan configuration. The EZ Setup applet houses driver configuration utilities. Fast Boot provides the user a GUI interface to modify the BIOS Fast Boot setting and the OS-based power loss setting. The Cloud Station app allows the for interaction with and control of the base system from a remote device via a wireless connection. The Smart TimeLock applet allows the user to define computer and Internet usage time for a user via its rules-based interface. The Smart Recovery 2 applet controls time-based system backups with the ability to create a new partition image file one time per hour. The ON/OFF Charge applet allows for configuration of USB port charging characteristics for attached devices. The USB Blocker applet is a security mechanism allowing you to block specific types of USB devices and access. The V-Tuner applet allows for user configuration of graphics card related core speed, voltages, and fan speeds for supported graphics adapters.
EasyTune with System Information Viewer
The GIGABYTE EasyTune and System Information Viewer applets provide access to board information concerning the CPU, memory, and attached devices. Additionally, board settings, including voltage, bus speeds, ratios, memory timings, and fan operation can be manually manipulated through the easy to use GUI interface. Speed presets are also available for automated overclocking using the applet. Note that when you invoke EasyTune, the System Information Viewer automatically runs in its minimized state via the Hardware Monitor window. The System Information Viewer window becomes visible by clicking the left arrow icon from the Hardware Monitor window.

V-Tuner
The V-Tuner applet provides access to real-time monitoring information for the system graphics card's core speed, memory speed, and GPU utilization. Various card settings, including core and memory speeds, as well as card voltages, can be manually manipulated through the sliders in the GUI interface. Additionally, the applet provides the user with the ability to customize up to for settings profiles.
Ambient LED
The Ambient LED applet provides the user with settings for controlling the audio PCB separator line LED illumination. The LED embedded along the audio PCB can be disabled entirely, or set for operation in always on mode (Still Mode), Beat Mode that attempts to match the LEDs pulsing to active music, or Pulse mode which gives the LED a regular pulsing appearance.
I picked up one of these
I picked up one of these boards a few weeks ago for a workstation I was building for the office. Very satisfied! Originally intended to use a X99 Sabertooth from ASUS but that board killed itself after setting the XMP profile.
X99P-SLI is great! I did notice however that the packaging apparently had been printed without mention of the Thunderbolt 3 or the 128GB RAM support (which we are taking advantage of). Call it a pleasant surprise.
That’s pretty dumb, with
That’s pretty dumb, with their ultra high failure rates, combined with their bottom of the industry product support, their products have no business, in the workplace. Asus, Supermicro, or GTFO.

The current batch do not support DMI 3.0, not sure if refresh boards with Broadwell-E support will add it or not though…

I don’t get why there is a DisplayPort connector on the back when none of the LGA2011-3 CPUs have video.
I’ve been thinking about going to an X99 system for a few months now, but a majority of the customers reviews sound like they’re too much trouble. BIOS failures, no M.2 boot support, USB hubs flaking out. I think at this point I’ll wait for X290 and Skylake-E next summer.

That’s cool. I have high hopes for Thunderbolt 3 after reading all its specifications. Time will tell if it becomes a success in the hands of manufacturers and consumers.
Dear Readers of the PCper
Dear Readers of the PCper forums
I dont know if it is the wright stanec by PCper not to validat the clames by gigabyte! Taking there clames on fath, dose not inform! PCper we need real evidence that the PCIe port is actually as strong as the clames layed out in your artical.
I propose a scientific approch, namely the use of a single mesurement of “Josh Walrath” Until such time as the single unit of measurement has been used i call that the clames be revoked!
Yours sinisterly,
In the name of Science, Truth, Justice
