Increased Stability : Capacitance not affected by temperature changes. Increased Reliability : Higher tolerance at high frequency, high current, high temperature. Better Overclocking Performance Life Time Comparison Ο Good Δ Normal Χ Bad Solid Capacitor Electrolyte capacitor Heat Resistibility ΟΔ Allowed Ripple Current Ο Δ Lower ESR at high freq Ο Χ Safety Ο Δ Environmental Protection ΟΔ Characteristics Comparison Why use Solid Capacitors ?

6. GIGABYTE UNITED INC.  Date:2015/4/18 5 All Solid-State Capacitors Pros: Higher tolerance for high frequency & temperature Quality does not vary due to environment humidity and temperature change 6-times longer component life-span Better Overclocking Performance ONLY Components quality means BETTER Electrolyte Capacitors More capacitors = Better Design ?? WRONG Concept !! Win !! Capacitors Comparison

7. GIGABYTE UNITED INC.  Date:2015/4/18 6 Solid capacitors and electrolytic capacitors both store electricity and discharge it when needed. The difference is that solid capacitors contain a solid organic polymer, while electrolytic capacitors use a common liquid electrolyte, hence, the terms solid capacitor versus electrolytic capacitors.
