Design
Gigabyte GA P75-D3 based on Intel B75 Express chipset (code-named Panther Point), standard size ATX 30.5×21.5cm, compatible with Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge socket 1155LGA processors.
Unlike the Z75 chipset, the Z77 and the H77 are aimed at high-end personal users, the B75 (and the Q75, Q77) are designed specifically for business users, focusing on stability and manageability. concentrate. Therefore, the GA P75-D3’s cooling system is designed quite simply, only a small block on the chipset.
In order to ensure system stability when operating continuously in the enterprise environment, the GA P75-D3 also adopts Ultra Durable 4 technology with glass fabric PCB to reduce the current Short circuit in high humidity environment. Full solid capacitors and Lower RDS (on) MOSFETs with low impedance help to reduce power consumption and keep operating temperatures low. BMC is also equipped with ESD Resistance ICs and anti surge ICs to protect motherboards and hardware devices in case of overvoltage or undervoltage.
The BMC GA P75-D3 also has four RAM slots, with a total memory capacity of up to 32GB. Note that the B75, Q75 and Q77 chipsets do not support RAM overclocking, so they are only compatible with 1066 MHz, 1333 MHz and 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM chips.
The Gigabyte GA P75-D3 features two PCI Express x16 slots with a discrete graphics card, with a maximum bandwidth of 16x PCIEx16 and a 4x PCIEx4 slot. In addition, BMC also directly supports traditional PCI interface through the B75 chipset, which is still widely used in many peripherals. This is also the difference between the BMC chipset family for business users and individual users.
The front of the BMC has five SATA ports, including one SATA 3.0 (white) and four SATA 2.0 (blue), managed by the B75 chipset.
In addition, the GA P75-D3 is also one of the first Gigabit motherboards to integrate the mSATA interface (3Gbps bandwidth), providing users with an integrated storage solution for SDD and HDD based on Intel Smart Response technology.
BMC peripheral connectors are primarily aimed at basic communication devices such as PS / 2 keyboard and mouse, LPT and COM for printers, scanners, and more. Automatically controlled in the field. Some other connections include 2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, 1Gbps Ethernet port, 7.1 HD audio and coaxial signal port.
Note that the GA P75-D3 does not output video signals (D-Sub, DVI-D, HDMI or DisplayPort).
The Gigabyte GA P75-D3 extends (with additional cable) includes 3 USB 2.0 ports and comes with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) interface for hardware authentication, boot protection, and proofing smart card.
USB 3.0 interface near RAM location, convenient for users to expand with USB 3.0 bracket.
In addition to the documentation, driver installation discs and back IO shield, accessories included are only two SATA 3.0 cables.

Performance
To evaluate the performance of the BMC GA P75-D3, Test Lab uses a test configuration built on the Ivy Bridge platform, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1, and uses the corresponding driver. Performance evaluation tools include CineBench R11.5 (64 bit), Heaven Benchmark v3.0, 3DMark 11 and PCMark 7. During testing, BMC works with default NSX settings and spells. Try to get the average result after 3 runs.
Compared to the Z77 BMC Chipsets in the same Test Lab, the overall performance of the GA P75-D3 is quite good; Even some tests score below the average result of the BMC in the same test. However, the test results also show the stability of the P75-D3 through scores between three runs without significant discrepancies. This is also in line with the BMC B75 design criteria for the enterprise environment.
With the overall system performance evaluation tool PCMark 7, the test configuration reached 3,869 points; It’s about 1.75% lower than the two Z77 BMC chipset in the same test lab, the Intel DZ77GA-70K and the Gigabyte GA Z77X-UD5H.
With the Cinebench R11.5 (64 bit) tool that evaluates the CPU and graphics processing power (using the OpenGL graphics library), the test configuration scores 7.46 on CPU and 81.96 fps (frames per second) at the OpenGL test.
In the DirectX 11 multi-threaded graphics processing experience based on the 3DMark 11 engine, Performance configuration settings. The system reached 7,257 points, about 2.8% lower than the BMC topped the Intel DZ77GA-70K.
With the Heaven Benchmark, a graphics benchmark is pretty much identical with 3DMark 11 but mainly about Tessellation performance (DirectX 11). The test configuration is 1,595 and 63,3 fps at 1600×1200 resolution and graphics quality is “high”.
