Closer Look at GIGABYTE’s DES System

Sidney · 18th January 2008, 16:14

If you’ve already read the GIGABYTE X48-DQ6 review and our DES preview then you’ll have a good idea about what GIGABYTE’s DES or Dynamic Energy Saver is supposed to do. We decided to look a little bit deeper into how well it works and after about a week of having it running it seems to be doing its job rather well.

As with all new technology and even more so with features that are meant to save you power and money, there’s always a bit of skepticism that has to be laid to rest. However, in this case it really seems like it all works as intended, although there are a few things you need to be aware of before you go ahead and enable DES if you have a suitable motherboard.
