Own a GIGABYTE motherboard and want its drivers, BIOS updates and tuning tools in one place? GIGABYTE App Center is the launcher that installs and opens the board's utilities. On newer boards it has been replaced by GIGABYTE Control Center (GCC).
App Center gathers Gigabyte motherboard utilities
App Center lists the GIGABYTE utilities that suit your board and installs them with a click. Typical modules are @BIOS for BIOS updates, EasyTune for CPU and memory tuning, System Information Viewer for fans and temperatures, and RGB Fusion for lighting on boards that have it.
The update tool checks drivers and firmware
App Center can search for available updates for Gigabyte hardware, including drivers and firmware. BIOS updates are also part of its update functions. This puts routine motherboard-related update checks alongside access to Gigabyte utilities.
- Use Live Update to check for newer drivers, utilities and BIOS versions.
- Download and install Gigabyte software or firmware updates through the platform.
Gigabyte tools adjust system settings
Available utilities can provide controls for BIOS settings, CPU and GPU performance, and fan speed. These adjustments are handled by the corresponding Gigabyte tools surfaced in App Center, so the available controls depend on the hardware and utilities supported by the motherboard.

Should I use App Center or GIGABYTE Control Center?
Use whichever your board's support page lists. Newer GIGABYTE boards use Control Center; older ones still use App Center.
Can App Center update the BIOS?
Yes, through the @BIOS module. Keep the PC on stable power during a BIOS update.
Does it work on non-GIGABYTE PCs?
No. Its modules check for a GIGABYTE motherboard and will not install or run on other brands.
