 What is Smart 6
A Smarter way for PC system Management
GIGABYTE Smart 6™ is designed with user-friendliness in mind, and offers a combination of 6 innovative software utilities that
provide easier and smarter PC system management. Smart 6™ allows you to speed up system performance, reduce boot-up
time, manage a secure platform and recover previous system settings easily with a click of the mouse button.
 Smart QuickBoot
No more waiting for PC Boot up

SMART QuickBoot speeds up the system

boot-up process and shortens the waiting
time for entering the operating system,
delivering greater efficiency for daily use.

BIOS QuickBoot :
Shorten boot up POST time !!!

OS QuickBoot :
Shorten entering OS wait time!!!
This utility will do ‘Suspend’ & ‘Hibernate at the same
time when the system powers down, so the system
will resume from suspend (S3) at next power on! Data
is still protected by hibernation (S4) even if power is
lost at shutdown

 Smart Recovery
Reverse time for you
By selecting the desired files according to the
back up date, you can use ‘Copy’ function to
restore.
SMART Recovery allows users to
easily roll-back system settings to a
previous known working status.
Users can simple select the day,
week or month without prior setup of
a backup time flag.
Theory of Smart Recovery : This
utility takes a ‘Snapshot’ of your
hard drive everyday and records any
added/deleted/modified files.
Currently, Smart Recovery allows up
to 60 ‘snap shots’ in your hard drive
(based on the reserved size of your
hard drive).
