Ever wondered how to tell the difference between Japanese solid caps and others?

It’s been a while since we introduced the first all solid capacitor motherboards in 2006 and yet solid caps are still a major selling point for GIGABYTE motherboards. Of course in 2006 they were reserved for the high-end models, but these days you’ll find Japanese solid caps on every single GIGABYTE motherboard for the desktop retail market – even the very entry level models use them for their CPU power phases.

Some vendors have followed GIGABYTE’s lead and are using solid caps, but not all solid caps are equal! We believe that Japanese solid caps offer the best quality and that’s why we have launched a new Japanese Solid Capacitor microsite to help you recognize the real deal when you see them on our motherboards.
