WITHOUT ANTI-SULFUR DESIGN ANTI-SULFUR DESIGN
NORMAL
GOOD
Sulfur compounds in the air can penetrate tiny onboard resistors creating chemical change and causing these resistors to open or short . If either of these occurs the motherboard will fail to function . By equipping resistors with an Anti-Sulfur Design GIGABYTE gives Ultra Durable Motherboards a whole new meaning .
WITHOUT ANTI-SULFUR DESIGN ANTI-SULFUR DESIGN
Resistors
NORMAL
Without the anti-sulfur layer : The electrode terminals lack a protective layer , which means that oxygen or other environmental elements can penetrate the Ni ( Nickel ) layer causing a sulfurization reaction and degrade the ability for the electrode to conduct electricity properly .
GOOD
Anti-sulfur product : An alloy layer has been added to protect the silver layer and prevents the sulfurization reaction from taking place .
